I thought this was already decided a couple of weeks ago.

"I thought this was already decided a couple of weeks ago."

Yes, at least in terms of if Comey broke any law that could be prosecutable.

This specific report was to determine if Comey broke FBI "rules", which AG Barr was never going to do anything about, especially since Comey isn't an FBI employee anymore.

From the report:

Upon completing our investigation, pursuant to Section 4(d) of the Inspector General Act of 1978, the OIG provided a copy of its factual findings to the Department for a prosecutorial decision regarding Comey's conduct. See 5 U.S.C.A. App. 3 § 4(d) (2016). After reviewing the matter, the Department declined prosecution. Thereafter, we prepared this report to consider whether Comey’s actions violated Department or FBI policy, or the terms of Comey’s FBI Employment Agreement. As described in this report, we conclude that Comey’s retention, handling, and dissemination of certain Memos violated Department and FBI policies, and his FBI Employment Agreement.4

In the grand scheme of things, people shouldn't use this particular report, or this particular issue to hang Barr (or Trump) on.

The ongoing investigation into the FISA abuse is what they should put their chips on. If no one is charged in that case, THEN we can say the house won when it came to the attempted coup.
