OIG report and analysis showing the FBI and DOJ shirking responsibility and attempts to cover CF information and their own tracks. Backfired!

This starts off with prosecutor 2 telling them,
consistent with notes this prosecutor took at a meeting on October 27,
2016, that the only reason the FBI later obtained the Weiner laptop was because “it
had ended up in our laps.” We describe this issue further in Chapters Nine, Ten,
and Eleven.
Page 94 unbelievable they did not properly search Abedin's devices. Wonder what the Real reason was?

No electronic record exists of the case agent’s initial review of the Weiner laptop. The
case agent told us that at some point in mid-October 2016 the NYO ASAC instructed the case agent to
wipe his work station.
This was about more than what people feel the focus was, far more than just the breaking of laws in the handling of classified information. Far more was exposed Inside those emails!
So the Supervisory Special Agent stated. . .that he specifically recalled the case agent mentioning
domain names associated with Hillary Clinton, the Clinton Foundation, and possibly
Clinton for President. The SSA also recalled the case agent telling him “early on”
that there were “hundreds of thousands” of emails.
The case agent and SSA told
us that because the search warrant for the laptop was limited to child exploitation
offenses,

McCabe told us that he did not remember Sweeney briefing the Weiner
laptop issue on a SVTC, although he said it was possible that Sweeney had done so.
McCabe explained that the reports by the ADICs on the SVTC are usually “like 10
seconds.” We showed McCabe his notes from September 28, which contained the
278
following entry: “NY - … Weiner – atty took data off cloud – 2007 emails.” McCabe
told us the notes did not refresh his recollection but agreed that they “would be a
pretty good indication” that he was made aware of the issue.
Other witnesses also provided recollections of this briefing.
Counterintelligence Division AD Priestap (one of the 39 FBI executives who
regularly participated in the weekly AD SVTC) told us he vaguely recalled Sweeney
mentioning the discovery of emails on the Weiner laptop that were potentially
relevant to the Midyear investigation in a forum similar to the AD SVTC. The
Human Resources Division AD told us that he recalled Sweeney mentioning “emails
relevant to the Clinton investigation” that had been discovered on a laptop
associated with Anthony Weiner. He added, “I remember Bill saying like hey, we
think there’s some stuff on here you guys may not have seen.”
Comey, who was not present for the SVTC, stated that he was unaware that
Sweeney had reported the discovery of Clinton emails on the Weiner laptop during
the September 28 AD SVTC. When asked if this was information he would have
expected to have been told, he stated, “Yeah, I would think so,”
From page 279
McCabe stated that shortly after this call he contacted Priestap and said,
“[Y]ou need to get somebody up to New York right away to take a look at what they
have because it might be Clinton emails.” Priestap told us that he did not recall
either this conversation or McCabe telling him to send a team to New York to
examine the Weiner laptop.
Are they Kidding us with these obvious and Blatant Lies?
You will find part 2 of this in an upcoming report on my channel and article. More analysis and evidence of lies directly from this report.
