CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY JUNE 18, 2018
PARTISANS ARE EXPRESSING THEMSELVES ON THE INSPECTOR GENERAL’S REPORT ABOUT THE BEHAVIOR OF EMPLOYEES OF THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT AND FBI IN THE RUNUP TO AND AFTER THE 2016 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.
DESPITE THE REPORT’S CONCLUSION THAT POLITICAL BIAS DID NOT CONTRIBUTE TO DECISIONS NOT TO PROSECUTE HILLARY CLINTON FOR HER MISHANDLING OF CLASSIFIED EMAILS, THE REPORT HAS ENOUGH IN IT TO SEVERLY TAINT THE FBI. ITS DIRECTOR, CHRISTOPHER RAY, HAS ORDERED THAT ALL FBI EMPLOYEES MUST ATTEND CLASSES THAT WILL SUPPOSEDLY IMPROVE THEIR ETHICS AND BEHAVIOR.
ONE OF THE MOST OFFENSIVE ITEMS IN THE REPORT IS THAT REPORTERS WERE PROVIDING GIFTS TO FBI AGENTS, PRESUMABLY SO THEY WOULD LEAK INFORMATION TO THEM. MAYBE THE REPORTERS ALSO OUGHT TO BE ATTENDING ETHICS CLASSES.
THE LEFT CLAIMS THAT WITHOUT THEN-FBI DIRECTOR JAMES COMEY’S STATEMENTS ABOUT HILLARY CLINTON’S EMAILS SHE MIGHT HAVE WON THE ELECTION. THE RIGHT BELIEVES SHE GOT AWAY WITH THINGS NO OTHER AMERICAN WOULD BE ALLOWED TO GET AWAY WITH. ONE THING IS CERTAIN: IF HILLARY HAD WON THE ELECTION, AMERICA WOULD BE FAR DIFFERENT AND FAR WORSE OFF THAN IT IS TODAY. I’M CAL THOMAS
