Don't waste your time reading the DOJ IG's summary and recommendations. Take the time to read the body of the IG's report. You will find it here:
That's where all the damning evidence is to be found. This report will take time to digest. Then action (i.e., criminal referrals) will be made in accordance with the details of the report. No wonder Adam Schiff and Mark Warner didn't leak any of this information in advance of today's document dump. If it was good news in their favor, we would have read about it last week in the pages of the NYTimes or WaPo. That they didn't leak any of it tells you all you need to know. It wasn't good news for them.
Do your homework and you will see.
For those of you who listened to Christopher Wray's public service announcement today -- during which he announced that ethics class attendance will now be required in the FBI -- please bear in mind several things:
(i) he represents the investigative division, not the prosecutorial division, of the Justice Department,
(ii) he is not in a position the say whether someone should or should not be prosecuted for criminal acts,
(iii) he can only speak about methods and actions vis-a-vis the guidelines set forth in the FBI "faculty manual," and
(iv) he is thus the perfect person to offer a non-report report on the IG document dump ... which is exactly what he had to do.
It sucks to be him today.
I'm sure he was not the person who selected himself to give the public service announcement. He has bosses, too, you know. He did the best he could, given his limitations.
Anyway, it will be an interesting few weeks coming up. Don't doubt for a second that Trump isn't two steps ahead. If you do, you only will get more frustrated.
