The Justice Departmentâs Inspector General is expected, any day now, to release his much anticipated report on the departmentâs activities in the lead-up to the 2016 election. The review is mostly focused on DOJâs handling of the Hillary Clinton email investigation.
Where is the review into the Republican Congressâ obsessive handling of the Hilary Clinton email investigation? Did it result in anything?
Does not matter what the report says it will be spun by Trump and his minions as no collusion and crimes by Hillary and Obama
The denizens of Conservatives4Palin (now, pretty much, an All-Trump-All-the-Time site) think that immediately upon the release of this report, about half the Obama cabinet will be arrested.
I for one look forward to seeing their spirits crushed.
Hannity and the minions on his show have been eagerly awaiting the release of this report for months. Just yesterday Hannity was talking about it with John Solomon and Sara Carter. They think it contains some explosive stuff that bring down everybody- Comey, McCabe, Bruce Ohr, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Obama, John Kerry.
Not sure if they really know something or if this will be like the Nunes memo which they puffed up really big and then were disappointed with it. But they are pinning a lot of hopes on this.
I canât wait for the release of this report just so I donât have to listen to Hannity and his lackeyâs gleefully anticipating it.
Yes. That fellow QAnon has been fueling speculation as well to the effect that this will be the real Draining of the Swamp, that the DOJâs investigation of Trumpâs collusion with the Russians has really been an elaborate sting operation (set up by Trump himself!) designed to ferret out the real criminals (i.e., the ones howling for Trumpâs head).
But whatâs fueling all that excitement is really just all that pent-up frustration and anger that, despite there being a Republican-controlled Congress for most of Obamaâs terms in office, not only did no major scandals occur, but they perceived the Republicans as, at best, ineffective and, at worst, actively facilitating Obama and the Democrats (âObama gets everything he wants!â was a familiar refrain in those years). So, they see this DOJ report as justice delayed.
âComey has said that even though he feels âmildly nauseousâ that his announcement may have impacted the election, he doesnât regret sending the letters.â
Of course he doesnât say âwhyâ he reopened the investigation. Or why, for that matter, he never mentioned the opening of an investigation into Trump and the Russians, 6-8 months before November 2016.
What about the FBI leak to FoxNewsâ Brett Baier that Clinton was about to be indicted and that
her server was hacked by 5 foreign intelligence agencies. Both false. Just days before the election.
-
Sources within the FBI have told Baier that an indictment is âlikelyâ in the case of pay-for-play at the Clinton Foundation, âbarring some obstruction in some wayâ from the Justice Department.
-
FBI sources say with 99% accuracy that Hillary Clintonâs server has been hacked by at least five foreign intelligence agencies, and that information have been taken from it.
Can they point to the time between 2009-2016 where Obama got Peace on Earth and Good Will Towards Men?
I donât expect the IG report to produce anything of significance.
But âNot sure if they really know somethingâ? Definitely not. If they had anything we would already know it, but it truly does not matter what this report says. Because as sure as a lie goes into Hannityâs head to live and be spewed out forever, they will never accept yes or no to anything. The slightest matter will yet raise âmore questionsâ, and a nothing will mean the Deep State is just that much deeper. They must destroy today for a better tomorrow and every day is a new day.

But it will have no effect on Troll Nation. If there were anything serious I think e would already know it. But it truly does not matter what this report says.

Unless this report talks about anti-Clinton FBI leaks, particularly to Rudy Giuliani, it means nothing.
Good.
Now, perhaps the IG can get on to investigating actual fucking crimes?
Thereâs a very good chance the report will lay bare ways in which the FBI was working to damage Clinton and elect Trump. Recall, for example, weird vampire Rudy Giuliani cackling about then current members of the FBI leaking things to him.
Bill Clintonâs tarmac meeting with then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch, which angered Republicans.
It wasnât real anger, it was false anger to get the media to report on the GOP whining over a non-event, one they completely fell for and one any rational being would have realized was a non-issue (hint: there are these things called phones, which individuals can use if they want to hide a nefarious meeting from the public).
What kind of masochist are you, listening to Hannity???
Some type of hate watching. Itâs so full of lies, half truths, obfuscation and convoluted logic.
More of a way to catch the Presidentâs Daily Briefing. It would be funny if the POTUS didnât take it seriously.
I donât expect the IG report to produce anything of significance.
Iâve been wondering about that, too. Especially when I see Seth Abramson absolutely, positively sure that it will be damning in the extreme. I keep thinking: whatâs your plan B if thatâs not the case?
Everything that is being addressed are serious issues that needed to be addressed. There was the perception that the NY FBI office was unduly influencing the campaign. This was out there, Rudy said those things.
No country can remain free if perceptions like this are allowed to go on. It is gratifying that these issues are being addressed.
Does it seem to you, as it does to me, that Sean (âHi, Sluggo, howâs Nancy?â) Hannity has been indulging in a wee bit of day-drinking at times, at least before his radio show?
I couldnât blame him â heâs at least ankle-deep in this stuff. He aired Julian Assange numerous times. He was Michael Cohenâs mysterious 3rd client and the cover story is very shallow: he called a friend a few times, who happened to be a lawyer, to chat about real estate. Right â and the lawyer had copious files on these casual chats?
What blows me away about Sluggo (and Russian Limbaugh who also touts this line of inquiry to a lesser degree) is how theyâre completely oblivious to a fact that they must understand and never speak outloud â Mueller, the FBI, et al, have a few years worth of intercepts and hard data that, unlike their own blather of a Deep State conspiracy, is solid evidence of wrongdoing. Near as I can tell, treating their audience like a mushroom crop is a desperate attempt to hold on through November in hopes the Soviet Republican majorities survive.
They must know that at best theyâre only delaying the inevitable.
