Trey Gowdy Tears into FBI's 'Unprecedented' Clinton Probe Decisions After Reading IG Report

House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) was furious after reading the findings of a lengthy report put together by the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) after the FBI’s handling of the Hillary Clinton Email Probe.

Gowdy, who’s had the chance to look at the report before it’s released to the public, said in a statement that he is “alarmed, angered, and deeply disappointed” by “numerous failures by DOJ and FBI” in investigating potential Espionage Act violations by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.”

He said the report confirms the FBI made “unprecedented” invesitgative decisions and “deviated from traditional investigative procedures in favor of a much more permissive and voluntary approach.”

He said the investigation was “mishandled,” called Comey’s July 2016 press conference announcing that “no reasonable prosecutor” would bring charges against Clinton a “serious violation of policy and process,” and that Comey’s late Oct./early Nov. 2016 letters to Congress were “delayed in substance and unnecessary in form.”

I was a little worried about it, but now I know it's actually fair and objective.
There was that one thing he was right about a couple of weeks ago, but I didn't take it as a change in the tide.

He's mad because the IG and FBI didn't find out any more than he did - namely, that there was nothing there to prosecute.

rethugs have one hell of a problem with someone who didn't commit any crimes. When are they going to finally admit that they are hunting nonexistent witches?

indictments and convictions is under constant attack by them. Go figure. They've been trying to get something, anything, on Hillary since Bill's first term in office. After well over $100 million and over a quarter of a century of investigating her......bupkiss. Zilch. Nada. ZERO! Will they ever give up and find something else to do? They certainly should, but I doubt they will. It keeps their base riled up because they've spread so many vicious lies about her.

And all this occurring when Russian interference into the election and Trump campaign was also being investigated by the FBI was not a violation of process because it is only okay to comment if it hurts a Democrat?

despite his recent attempts to appear to be willing to uphold the rule of law. He is still enabling Trump to attempt destroy our democracy and or justice system Notice his spin here he takes objection to Comey saying in his press conference "no reasonable prosecutor" would bring charges against Clinton a "serious violation of policy and process" Not the fact Comey had a press conference in the first place in which he should not have had or that he injected his personal opinion going as far as saying "she acted irresponsible.' That plus book ending it with announcing the reopening of the investigation 11 before the election and not saying oh well never mind it was nothing until less than 48 hours before the election did major damage to Hilary.

Sorry Trey, but history is going to record you with that other "original" American, "Benedict Arnold."

You'll be lucky if your ass is allowed to escape to a dacha outside of Moscow.
