FBI/HILLARY CLINTON/JAMES COMEY/JUSTICE DEPARTMENT/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “President Donald Trump rejected a Justice Department watchdog’s conclusion that there was no political bias in the Hillary Clinton email investigation, saying ‘the scum on top’ of the FBI were shown to be ‘plotting against my election.’ Appearing first on the Fox News program ‘Fox & Friends’ and later in a scrum of other reporters, Mr. Trump spent an hour accentuating parts of the inspector general’s report that showed former Federal Bureau of Investigation Director James Comey deviating from Justice Department policy and officials on the Clinton investigation exchanging anti-Trump texts…The inspector general found no evidence that the probe was affected by bias, and said key decisions made in the case could be justified on policy and legal grounds. Mr. Trump argued the report’s findings on actions by FBI officials in the Clinton probe undercut the current investigation into whether Mr. Trump’s associates colluded with Russia’s efforts to interfere in the 2016 U.S. election.”
