James Comey calls House GOP's Russia probe 'a wreck'

Via Think Progress. Read it and weep:

In case you were asleep in 2016, then-FBI Director James Comey made a series of public statements that almost certainly cost former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton the presidency. In violation of longstanding Justice Department policy, Comey made highly critical public statements about Clinton, accused her of “extremely careless behavior,” and then made damaging statements about her just days before the election — all in regards to an investigation that later revealed no new information about Clinton.

Clinton’s sin was using a personal email account to conduct official business.

The Justice Department Inspector General’s report examining Comey’s conduct during the 2016 election is utterly damning. In addition to finding that Comey’s “use of a personal email account on multiple occasions” was “inconsistent” with DOJ policy, the report describes a rogue agency head who placed his own personal views above those of his superiors, and above well-established policies.

Go read the whole sorry mess.
