DOJ OIG RELEASES REPORT ON VARIOUS ACTIONS BY THE FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION AND DEPART

Â = a-circumflex?

I looked for that character in my html and did not find it. There were some other weird characters that I did find in editing the HTML so it read properly.

Character set is an issue here on FR at times. Especially with foreign language characters.

I don't know how to fix it but this is what I see. Other posts are normal and when I go into that thread it's normal. Apparently it has something to do with the formatting. Yours isn't the only one to do this; it's just the worst one.

I just sent you via Freepmail the HTML code I posted.

I used command line pdftohtml to convert the .pdf to .html

Then I edited the code for “ and ‘ characters that did not render properly on my system.

Then I inserted manually a substitute for the original bullet points, which did not display properly.

So, I’m asking myself how some can view it properly and others not?

Thanks for calling it to my attention.

I’ve run into this type of issue when posting announcements from CJTFOIR concerning the Syrian ISIS conflict. Non standard characters are usually the issue. Also at times the HTML structure itself.

I went back to my original code and did find/replace for

There were 570 instances in the excerpt I posted. That seemed to make it readable in Bluefish editor, but it removed the spacing between the words.I reversed that edit and did a find/replace with blank space as the replacement and this is what I got.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

DOJ OIG RELEASES REPORT ON VARIOUS ACTIONS BY THE FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION AND
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE IN ADVANCE OF THE 2016 ELECTION

Department of Justice (DOJ) Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz announced today the release of a
report examining various actions by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the DOJ in advance of
the 2016 election in connection with the investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's use
of a private email server (referred to by the FBI and DOJ as the "Midyear" investigation).

The DOJ Office of the Inspector General's (OIG) findings are summarized in detail in the report's
Executive Summary, which is included below. The scope of the OIG's review included:

• Allegations that DOJ or FBI policies or procedures were not followed in connection with, or in
actions leading up to or related to, former FBI Director James Comey's public announcement on
July 5, 2016, and his letters to Congress on October 28 and November 6, 2016, and that certain
underlying investigative decisions were based on improper considerations (Chapters 3-11);

• Allegations that DOJ and FBI employees improperly disclosed non-public information (Chapter
12, and as noted in our report, the OIG will separately report on related investigations as they
are concluded, consistent with the Inspector General Act, other applicable statutes, and OIG
policy);

• Allegations that former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe should have been recused from
participating in certain investigative matters (Chapter 13);

• Allegations that former Assistant Attorney General for the DOJ's Office of Legislative Affairs,
Peter Kadzik, improperly disclosed non-public information to the Clinton campaign and/or
should have been recused from participating in certain Clinton-related matters (Chapter 14);
and

• Allegations that the timing of the FBI's release of certain Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)
documents on October 30 and November 1, 2016, and the use of a Twitter account to publicize
the same, were influenced by improper considerations (Chapter 15).

During the course of the review, the OIG discovered text messages and instant messages between some
FBI employees on the investigative team, conducted using FBI mobile devices and computers, that
expressed statements of hostility toward then candidate Donald Trump and statements of support for
Clinton. We also identified messages that expressed opinions that were critical of the conduct and
quality of the investigation. We included in our review an assessment of these messages and actions by
the FBI employees (Chapter 12, and as noted in our report, the OIG is preparing a separate report
describing the OIG's efforts to recover text messages during this review).

The OIG's conclusions and nine recommendations to the DOJ and FBI appear in Chapter 16. The DOJ's
and FBI's responses the OIG's draft report are included in the report as attachments. As noted in the
report, a non-public classified appendix was delivered to Congress, DOJ leadership, and the FBI. In
addition, the report includes a non-public Law Enforcement Sensitive (LES) appendix containing a
version of Chapter 13 that includes LES information.

The OIG's report is the result of more than 100 witness interviews, including former Director Comey,
former Attorney General (AG) Loretta Lynch, former Deputy Attorney General (DAG) Sally Yates,
members of the former AG's and DAG's staffs, FBI agents and supervisors and DOJ attorneys and
supervisors who conducted the Midyear investigation, personnel from the FBI's New York Field Office
and the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York involved in the Anthony Weiner
investigation, former and current members of the FBI's senior executive leadership, and former
President Bill Clinton. In addition, the OIG did an independent review of significantly more than 1.2
million documents, including interview reports, agent and attorney notes, memoranda, emails, text
messages, and instant messages.

Please note that this review is separate from the review the OIG announced on March 28, 2018,
concerning the DOJ's and FBI's compliance with legal requirements, and with applicable DOJ and FBI
policies and procedures, in applications filed with the U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court
relating to a certain U.S. person. That review is ongoing and the OIG will issue a separate report relating
to those issues at a future date when our investigative work is complete.

I think that probably fixed the rendering of what I originally posted.

Thanks.
