    DOJ watchdog - James Comey defied authority as FBI director

    The Justice Department's internal watchdog has concluded that James Comey defied authority at times during his tenure as FBI director, according to sources familiar with a draft report on the matter.

    One source told ABC News that the draft report explicitly used the word "insubordinate" to describe Comey's behavior. Another source agreed with that characterization but could not confirm the use of the term.

    In the draft report, Inspector General Michael Horowitz also rebuked former Attorney General Loretta Lynch for her handling of the federal investigation into Hillary Clinton's personal email server, the sources said.


    This could prove to be very interesting.
    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

        It could be. Washington swamp dwellers have been scrambling like rats ever since the draft version of the IG report started making its rounds. And now McCabe has requested immunity from criminal prosecution in exchange for his testimony, but Grassly is playing it smart, telling McCabe's lawyer that immunity will not be so much as considered unless McCabe can prove he has the goods:

        "Before even beginning to consider whether to initiate that process, the Committee would need to know a lot more about the anticipated scope, nature, and extent of your testimony."
        Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
        But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
        Than a fool in the eyes of God

          That's always been a challenge - even in a prosecutor offering "a deal". I need to know it will be worth it.

                    Update:

                    Source: Comey Broke From FBI Procedures in Clinton Probe, Watchdog Finds

                    Former FBI Director James Comey “deviated” from FBI and Justice Department procedures in handling the probe into Hillary Clinton, damaging the law enforcement agencies’ image of impartiality even though he wasn’t motivated by political bias, the department’s watchdog found in a highly anticipated report.

                    “While we did not find that these decisions were the result of political bias on Comey’s part, we nevertheless concluded that by departing so clearly and dramatically from FBI and department norms, the decisions negatively impacted the perception of the FBI and the department as fair administrators of justice,” Inspector General Michael Horowitz said in the report’s conclusions, which were obtained Thursday by Bloomberg News.

                    Horowitz’s report examined actions taken by top officials before the 2016 election, including the handling of the investigation into Clinton’s use of a private email server when she was secretary of state. The investigation expanded to touch on an array of politically sensitive decisions by officials including Comey and former Attorney General Loretta Lynch.

                        People seem to be still processing the 500-page report, but the primary takeaways seem to be:

                        1. James Comey was too mean and unfair to Hillary Clinton.
                        2. James Comey shouldn't have announced he was reopening the email investigation just before the election.
                        3. James Comey should have consulted much more with the Obama administration about the Clinton investigation.
                        4. James Comey was not, however, motivated by political motives.
                        5. Peter Strzok and Lisa Page's texts (against Trump, Hillary, and Sanders) were inappropriate but the Mueller investigation wasn't corrupted by those agents.

                              That seems to be the narrative being promoted by the left; however...

                              "Those reading the report will note the executive summary and conclusions were not written by the same IG officials who wrote the body of the investigative findings. The investigation doesn’t match the summary. The media is using the summary for their narrative; however the content within the IG report is entirely devastating."
                              Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
                              But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
