The IG had to be biased, he only showed the pro-Hillary anti-Trump emails and texts.... none of the pro-Trump and stop Hillary crowd.

You guys shot your load. It's over until all the Trump investigations destroy him.

Even Fox:

IG Report: No evidence of bias in DOJ prosecutors' findings

Jun. 14, 2018 - 9:02 - The DOJ's IG report reveals Comey broke procedure in Clinton investigation, but was not politically biased; reaction from former DOJ official Bob Driscoll and Shelby Holliday on 'The Daily Briefing.'

And how the Hell could the IG make that conclusion?
I'll save you the time - He can't.
Just Like COmey over-stepped in his democratic funded lies, THis guy over-stepped his.

Let's just deal with the FACTS in the report.
There WAS bias.

Tom that was the whole purpose of the report... their findings... repost from other thread.

"We analyzed the Department’s declination decision according to the same analytical standard that we applied to other decisions made during the investigation. We did not substitute the OIG’s judgment for the judgments made by the Department, but rather sought to determine whether the decision was based on improper considerations, including political bias. We found no evidence that the conclusions by the prosecutors were affected by bias or other improper considerations; rather, we determined that they were based on the prosecutors’ assessment of the facts, the law, and past
department practice."

Summary VII

"There were clearly tensions and disagreements in a number of important
areas between Midyear agents and prosecutors. However, we did not find
documentary or testimonial evidence that improper considerations, including
political bias, directly affected the specific investigative decisions discussed below, or that the justifications offered for these decisions were pretextual. We recognize that these text and instant messages cast a cloud over the FBI’s handling of the Midyear investigation and the investigation’s credibility. But our review did not find documentary or testimonial evidence that these political views directly affected the specific investigative decisions that we reviewed in this chapter"

PG 149

"We sought to determine whether the declination decision was based on improper considerations, including political bias. We both looked for direct evidence of improper considerations and analyzed the justifications offered for the decision to determine whether they were a pretext for improper, but unstated, considerations. We did not substitute the OIG’s judgment for the judgments made by the Department. We found that the prosecutors’ decision was based on their assessment of the facts, the law, and past Department practice in cases involving these statutes."

PG 261

While there is eye-brow raising stuff this is "Nunes Memo Part Duex." Albeit a lot more damning.

It doesn't support the vast-deepest-of-state conspiracy against Trump trope that's existed for awhile.

Observations do not tell what was in a man's mind.
The only thing that report can do is present facts and facts are, there was bias by some FBI people who Comy was responsible for.

But the memo concluded that bias didn't impact their work... recommended future political bias training.

Which kinda goes to the heart of the issue doesn't it?

The fact that you can't document something does not mean it didn't exist.

It was carefully worded.

It does not say "there was no evidence". It says they couldn't find it documented or find a "rat".

That's the whole point of the text messages. To show that there were agents working against Trump in some coordinated and biased way. We just can't document what they did.

What you quoted... just said... they didn't find anything. Which was a goal of the report.

The report... aside from the really bad text messages between two FBI agents who also happened to be banging (which we also already knew) doesn't appear to have anything new.

Based on the expectations of most pro-Trump, conservative talk, and other outlets this is a pretty big nothing burger.

No it does not show those TWO "agents working against Trump in some coordinated and biased way"
