It’s the scandal that never really went away — and now it’s back with teeth. A long-awaited Justice Department watchdog report dropped on Monday, confirming what conservatives have been shouting for years: the FBI botched the Hillary Clinton email investigation during the 2016 election. Not only did they fail to thoroughly investigate, but according to the DOJ’s Office of Inspector General (OIG), they ignored key evidence, including never opening thumb drives that may have held critical clues.
BREAKING: Newly Declassified DOJ Watchdog Report Shows FBI Cut Corners in Clinton Email Investigation:

Let that sink in. Thumb drives handed over to the FBI — reportedly containing potentially classified or sensitive material from Clinton’s infamous private server — were never even opened. According to U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA), that shocking revelation alone “undercuts” Hillary Clinton’s repeated claims that she was “exonerated.”
No, Hillary — you weren’t exonerated. You were protected.
The report names names: James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok — all the familiar players — failed to conduct “additional, targeted searches” of the drives, even though they contained information relevant to the investigation. These are the same people who helped launch the Trump-Russia hoax through the now-discredited Crossfire Hurricane operation just weeks after letting Clinton off the hook.
According to Grassley, “this information is now coming to light thanks to Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel,” both of whom are now actively re-investigating the Clinton probe’s mishandling. And that’s not all.
The report also drops another bombshell: an annex reveals that Debbie Wasserman Schultz, then-chair of the Democratic National Committee, was caught discussing efforts to kill the Clinton probe with two individuals from George Soros’s Open Society Foundations. You read that right. The Clinton campaign had connections pulling strings behind the scenes to scuttle the investigation and clear the path to the White House.
Even more disturbing, the OIG notes that these failures meant intelligence reports about possible foreign influence on Clinton’s email system were never verified or properly investigated. Comey, despite having this mess on his desk, chose instead to declare Hillary “not guilty” before even interviewing her — then turned around and opened Crossfire Hurricane to go after President Trump with no credible evidence.
The double standard is staggering. The FBI let Clinton slide while manufacturing a bogus case against Trump. Now, nearly a decade later, the truth is finally catching up. It’s time for real accountability.
