No Bias to Help Hillary

What the IG found, in fact, was that Comey himself believed the NY field office of the FBI HATED Clinton.



"And he said, and he said to me that it had become clear to him, he didn’t say over the course of what investigation or whatever, he said it’s clear to me that there is a cadre of senior people in New York who have a deep and visceral hatred of Secretary Clinton.  And he said it is, it is deep.  It’s, and he said, he said it was surprising to him or stunning to him. "  - US DOJ Office of Inspector General -  "A Review of Various Actions by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Department of Justice in Advance of the 2016 Election" -  pg. 387

Yes, the DOJ Recommendation on Hillary's Email Was Unanimous

Trump says Comey lied about the decision not to press charges against Hillary Clinton. Specifically, Trump claims Comey lied about the decision being "unanimous."



The fact of the matter is the Inspector General's Office of the Department of Justice investigated the question and concluded indeed the recommendation  WAS unanimous.



"According to [Deputy Assistant Attorney General] Toscas’s handwritten talking points, he stated, “[A]t the conclusion of the meeting you will have the unanimous recommendation of the FBI [and] DOJ team that this investigation should be closed [and] that charges should not be brought against anybody within the scope of the investigation in this matter.”  "A Review of Various Actions by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Department of Justice in Advance of the 2016 Election"  - Office of Inspector General - US Department of Justice; pg 258)



But did the DOJ reach this decision based on facts and law? According to the IG Report, it did.



"We found no evidence that the conclusions by Department prosecutors
were affected by bias or other improper considerations; rather, we
concluded that they were based on the prosecutors’ assessment of the
facts, the law, and past Department practice." -   (pg 263)
