GOPDD: Justice Department Inspector General: FBI Under Investigation for Clinton Email Scandal

Jan 12, 2017 by Harry Hibbs

WASHINGTON – The Justice Department’s inspector general announced Thursday he will launch an investigation into the department and FBI’s actions in the months leading up to the 2016 election, including whether department policies were properly followed by FBI Director James Comey.
Democrats and Clinton herself have blamed Comey for the Democratic candidate’s loss, arguing that the renewed inquiry and the FBI director’s public missives on the eve of the election blunted her momentum. Comey has faced months of criticism, some of it from former Justice officials, for violating the department’s policy of avoiding any action that could affect a candidate close to an election.
