The link below is the full 500+ report, which as I predicted, is being reported very differently by Republicans and Democrats. Fox News headline is: “Disaster for Comey” with the implication that whatever is bad for Comey, makes the FBI investigation of Hillary Clinton look bad. They further go on to say “Trump breaks silence with damning IG report, say it vindicates move to fire FBI boss.”
The New York Times headline avoided the same adjectives, such as bombshell (seen on Fox News) but reported “FBI Faulted in Clinton Case.” They mention the part of the report that Democrats like – the conclusion that political opinions of some at FBI involved in the Clinton email investigation did not influence the outcome.
So, both Republicans and Democrats can reach different conclusions. And, finally the reason most Americans will not bother to read it (beyond laziness), is best summed up by one blogger:, “The IG is just as crooked as the rest of the FBI and DOJ.” So, paranoid conspiracy bloggers don’t need to read and can just troll the internet for big conspiracy advocates.
The IG’s conclusions are based on the information as given in the 500 pages of documentation. I think that’s pretty good.
