WP Anne Gearan: An idiot or just another lying corporate hack posing as a member of the 4th estate?

Can you spot the outrageous lie in the opening paragraph?

The surprise news of an FBI inquiry into Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe has uncomfortable parallels to an FBI security review of his friend and political patron Hillary Clinton’s email system, but Clinton allies said it is unlikely to do her lasting harm.

Answer: The FBI investigates that is why it is called the Federal Bureau of Investigation. They do NOT do security reviews as Comey pointed out.

The "security review" lie is a Hillary spin meme that has been repeated ad nauseam. I guess the Hillbots in the press still think it is effective. Just stickin' to the script.
