Professional. Does not address Trump's bullshit about Obama slipping a spy into his campaign. The FBI knows who their informant was and they know the informant was there to report on coordination between the Trump campaign and Russia -- and any other foreign entity. The DOJ IG will be told this and will have access to all the records. The DOJ IG will conclude there's nothing there. And Trump will go foaming-at-the-mouth, tire-biting, call-the-men-in-the-white-suits crazy.
