Justice Department Watchdog Slams Comey
In a new report, the agency’s inspector general has sharply criticized former FBI director James Comey for his handling of the email scandal involving ex-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. But while it called his actions — which included telling Congress in late 2016 he was re-opening the investigation into Clinton’s use of a private email server — “extraordinary,” it also found no indications Comey was driven by political bias. Other FBI officials, meanwhile, showed a “willingness to take official action” to thwart President Donald Trump’s election, the report says.
