The long-awaited Department of Justice Inspector General's report on FBI activities prior to the 2016 elections found that former FBI director James "Lordy" Comey made serious errors in judgement in his handling of the investigation into Hillary Clinton's handling of classified e-mails on her private server. While the report states that Comey's actions were not intended by him to influence the election, Comey violated Departmental rules by discussing the investigation in July 2016 and by reopening the investigation two weeks before the election and caused Clinton's campaign to stall and Russian asset Donald "Rump" Trump's to gain new life after the infamous Access Hollywood tape.
Rump and his allies again will seize on the roles of former FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, who wrote scathing e-mails about Rump to each other prior to the election, and who were initially involved in the Mueller investigation at its earliest stages. Once the e-mails became known, Mueller removed them from the investigation, but Trumpists will undoubtedly blow their private opinions into evidence of a broad, "deep state" conspiracy tainting the Russiagate probe. They'll also claim that Comey should have sought Clinton's indictment, even though that was the job of Justice Department prosecutors, not the FBI.
It's not the obvious political screed that Rump had delusionally hoped for when he ordered the report. But in order to obstruct the Russiagate investigation, and knowing his zest for lying, he'll use it that way.
