This conversation indicates that senior DOJ leadership concluded in real time that the deep political bias of senior FBI agents had led directly to official (and, per the IG, improper) investigative decisions, particularly the Comey letter.

Moreover, expert analysis suggests that those official decisions, which the AG tells us was prompted by what the FBI Director described as the deep and visceral hatred of one candidate by senior FBI employees, swung the election to the other candidate.

These coverage choices mirror the asymmetry Democrats complained of in coverage of the email scandal itself. Much graver wrongdoing on the pro-Trump side is overlooked or given scant notice in favor of hypervigilant coverage of petty misconduct that media know Trump will amplify.

This is an important conversation between the Attorney General and the FBI Director. It occurred real time before the election and it concerned a grave, election-altering allegation of misconduct that the IG conspicuously did not resolve. Please give it the attention it deserves!

He ran his dept like a mob boss & it's said that Rudy protected Trump's sketchy real estate & Model trafficking business for years.
Wonder what Rudy's payout was for Trump's protection
