White House: IG Report 'Reaffirmed President's Suspicions' About Comey

Source: Talking Points Memo



By Kate Riga | June 14, 2018 3:29 pm

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders opened Thursday’s press briefing with an assertion that the DOJ Inspector General’s report about the FBI’s handling of Hillary Clinton’s emails confirmed President Donald Trump’s suspicions about former FBI Director James Comey — conveniently avoiding the less palatable parts of the report.

“The President was briefed on the Inspector General’s report earlier today, and it has reaffirmed the President’s suspicions about Comey’s conduct and the political bias among some of the members of the FBI,” she said.

"I was going to fire him anyway"

so the Inspectors finding is irrelevant to obstruction of justice

There was many in the FBI doing the same thing in their emails, and was leaking information to their campaign to also help trump, and hurt Hillary. People in the FBI are allowed to have political opinions, but trump has tried to weaponize it against Democrats, like putin has used in russia. Then he'll purge all those that aren't total loyalists to do whatever he wants them to do. Like he's doing to the old republican party and turning it into the party of loyalists . The republicans left should switch over to the Democrats and retake power away from Mitch, and help stop trump , not run away while watching him destroy all area's of our government now. trump has to get control of the DOJ to make it completely his , or the DOTJ for his self preservation, and a lot more corruption.
