When the Department of Justice inspector general released his report on Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act abuse, coverage focused on the top-line findings contained in the executive summary. Then the news cycle whizzed by, leaving many details discussed throughout the 480-page tome unexplored.
One significant gap in media coverage concerns the potential complicity of former FBI Director James Comey in the FISA abuse—a possibility the IG report hints at in several spots. The first suggestion that something was amiss with Comey’s conduct came early in Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s report, when the IG’s office spoke of the methodology underlying the FISA investigation.
“Certain former FBI employees who agreed to interviews, including Comey and Baker, chose not to request that their security clearances be reinstated for their OIG interviews,” read the IG report. “Therefore, we were unable to provide classified information or documents to them during their interviews to develop their testimony, or to assist their recollections of relevant events.”
Taken alone, this perfunctory comment might have meant little, but the IG report would stress this point several more times throughout its 400-plus-page analysis of FBI misconduct.

So when are we going to get a trial for Comey, Lunch, the Clinton's, Obama and every coconspirator involved?!? How about charge them all equally under RICO!
Sick of hints, implications, accusations and “calling out”, I want to see heads roll.
Comey, Clapper, McCabe, Brennan, Clinton, Lynch, Rice, Kerry, Jarrett and the Communist kingpin Obama.
All of them, indictments, charges, trials, guilty verdicts and REAL punishment. Death for a treasonous coup attempt and other Capital crimes.
Lets get American politics back on track.
