Your arguing a case I'm not making. The IG's report said Comey's actions were not "politically motivated". Hillary said they were. As noted above, I think the notion that Comey's actions were apolitical is horseshit of the highest caliber. OF COURSE Comey behaved like a political animal inside the Washington DC zoo. The press conference announcing the findings of the email investigation was PURELY a political exercise, and Hillary's campaign was correct to say that it was (probably the only thing her campaign got right). For the IG to say Comey's actions were not politically motivated is laughable.
But the IG says they weren't. So....Screw Hillary.
