    Horowitz :
    Among reasons for harsh criticism of Clinton in June 2016 Comey statement was to assuage concerns of FBI employees who said "You guys are finally going to get that b ch. We're rooting for you."

    Remember, this bias does not matter!

    that is not bias... that is more racism from another foreign troll commenting on US politics trying to influence an election.
    the thing their team is supposedly against.

    This is notable. According to testimony in the IG Report, one reason for the harsh criticism of Secretary Clinton in James Comey’s June 2016 statement was to assuage the concerns of FBI employees who said “You guys are finally going to get that bitch. We’re rooting for you.”

    Anderson told the OIG that she expressed concerns about criticizing uncharged conduct during discussions with Comey in June 2016. She said that the decision to include such criticism “was a signal that…we weren’t just letting her off the hook…. [O]ur conclusions were going to be viewed as less assailable…at the end of the day if this kind of content was included.”

    Baker told the OIG that “there were multiple audiences” for the criticism of former Secretary Clinton in Comey’s statement. He recounted hearing that FBI employees not involved in the Midyear investigation hated former Secretary Clinton and had made comments such as, “[Y]ou guys are finally going to get that bitch,” and, “[W]e’re rooting for you.” Baker stated, “And if we’re not going to get her on these facts and circumstances, then we’d better explain that now.” Related to this idea, notes taken by Strzok at a May 12, 2016 meeting involving the Midyear team state, “Messaging thoughts: Workforce Qs: (1) If I did this, I’d be prosecuted; (2) Petraeus, Berger, etc. were charged; (3) Overwhelming conservative outlook.”

    Remember, this does not count as bias. And if it is anti-Clinton bias it doesn’t matter.

    The New York fbi Office had a deep and visceral hatred of Clinton and there was an issue leaks coming from there. It wasn’t mentioned by Yates but it was implicated the leaks were going to Giuliani 31700CB7-58DC-47DC-A524-5063920476A9.jpeg
