If you can't do it in an airport, you shouldn't be able to do it in the FBI.
After the release of the much-anticipated Inspector General's report last week, it appears you can call the president a "F***ing idiot," and promise "We'll stop it," if Donald Trump wins.
If you work for the FBI.
One question that wasn't asked was, how were "they" going to "stop it?" Stop Trump from being president?
Kill him? It sounded like it. But no one dared to ask.
If you said something like that in an airport, you'd be carted off by security, and miss more than your plane. But not so in the Halls of Justice.
After 18 months of investigating, DOJ Inspector Michael Horowitz told the Senate Judiciary Committee he found Peter Strzok and Lisa Page's e-mails "concerning," but not "politically biased."
The report also concluded that there was "no evidence" that former Attorney General Loretta Lynch and Bill Clinton talked about anything but their grandchildren during their Tarmac Meeting.
So what most of us would call "Political Bias," the DOJ doesn't.
IG Horowitz is highly regarded, and comes to this task with the presumption of being a "straight arrow" type of fellow. He is a man, it is said, who can be trusted to conduct a fair and impartial investigation of what has been reprehensible behavior in the Intelligence Community.
But then again, they said the same thing about James Comey and Robert Mueller, didn't they?
When all is said and done, the report didn't tell us much that we didn't already know.
We Trump Supporters, called "POS's" by the FBI Elitists, knew Comey was "Insubordinate."
We already saw the Strzok-Page infamous e-mails. We knew Strzok was obsessive in his hatred for Donald Trump, and was a major player in too many key investigations that went sour.
We heard that FBI agent, now non-identified as Agent #1, couldn't stop crying after Hillary's defeat, and unabashedly pledged allegiance, not to flag and country, mind you, but to Hillary.
And an Agent, non-identified as Agent #5, who instant messaged: "Screw you, Trump!" and "She (HRC) better win, otherwise I'm gonna' be walking around with both my guns."
But none of this. None. Rose to the level of "Bias," according to the IG.
When FBI Director Christopher Wray testified, the man didn't look "concerned" at all.
"This report is focused on a specific set of events back in 2016," Wray told the Senate Intelligence Committee, "and a small number of FBI employees connected with those events."
He's right.
But as Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) reminded him, these "employees" were the tippy top of the FBI: FBI Director, FBI Deputy Director, the Lead Agent and other Agents in the HRC/Russian/Abedin investigations.
Wray, however, did promise to do a "Starbucks" sensitivity training with FBI personnel. Maybe that could work, although Starbucks closed 150 stores this week, close on the heels of that kind of training.
And even though Lisa Page e-mailed on September 2, 2016 that "POTUS wants to know everything we're doing," trickle down from Obama was never mentioned in the report.
It was Lois Lerner and the IRS Targeting Scandal all over again.
One of the burning questions that is being bandied about, is "What do you have to do to get fired from the FBI?"
A better question might be, "What do you have to do to get hired?"
Jim Comey shockingly said he didn't know Huma Abedin was married to Carlos Danger. It's probably why he didn't bother to check thousands of "HRC e-mails" on a sexual predator's laptop for more than a month.
And if you read Lisa Page's witness statement, you'll see a woman who is a careless lawyer, arrogant, and not as smart as one might envision an FBI attorney oughta' be. And that Peter Strzok definitely has bad taste in women.
There are more IG reports to come. But as we have seen in the past, there are banks that are too big to fail. And people who are too important to indict.
That's why the Left is talking about kids, and immigration non-stop this week, instead of the Inspector General's Report.
Hold the line, America.
