Inspector general refers five FBI employees for investigation over 'hostile' political messages

The Justice Department inspector general referred five FBI employees for investigation into whether their politically-charged and “hostile” text messages and instant messages violated FBI code, according to the damning inspector general report released Thursday.

The report, titled “A Review of Various Actions by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Department of Justice in Advance of the 2016 Election,” revealed that the messages “appeared to mix political opinion with discussions about the MYE investigation. MYE, or ‘Midyear Exam,’ was the code word used in the FBI to refer to the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private email server.

“Some of these text messages and instant messages mixed political commentary with discussions about the Midyear investigation, and raised concerns that political bias may have impacted investigative decisions,” the report read.

The report noted that it was specifically concerned about text messages exchanged between FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page that “potentially indicated or created the appearance that investigative decisions were impacted by bias or improper considerations.”

Isn’t there some federal attorney out in Utah who is supposed to follow up on these referrals? Let us see what happens next. If anything. We shall see soon enough if this is a mere whitewash.

This reads like these referrals are for administrative investigations that might lead to disciplinary actions, not criminal referrals.

Another investigation of the investigation?
Sure why not.
And who will conduct this investigation?
Will a blue ribbon panel also be assembled?

Boy, that will get these five a talking to, maybe even a letter, but not likely to get to the level of a stern letter or discussion. More along the lines of “you know this is wrong, and you won’t do it again, right, good, we’re done here, coming over this evening for cocktails at my place?”
