DOJ watchdog says no evidence FBI's Strzok, Page directly affected investigations: report

Source: The Hill



BY OLIVIA BEAVERS - 06/14/18 10:45 AM EDT

The Justice Department's ethics watchdog reportedly found no evidence that the conduct of two FBI officials, who exchanged text messages critical of President Trump during the 2016 election, directly impacted the FBI's investigations, while noting that their conduct "cast a cloud" over the bureau's actions.

DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz did not find that FBI counterintelligence agent Peter Strzok and FBI lawyer Lisa Page "directly affected the specific investigative actions we reviewed,” according to the report’s conclusions, which were obtained Thursday by Bloomberg.

“We did not find documentary or testimonial evidence that improper considerations, including political bias, directly affected the specific investigative actions we reviewed,” Horowitz's report conclusions reads, according to Bloomberg.

“The conduct by these employees cast a cloud over the entire FBI investigation.”

No-who ever exposed their personal e-mails sent during their personal relationship cast a cloud over the entire investigation. I can't remember-was it a democrat or a republican who acted so reprehensively???
