The OIG Report: A Review of Various Actions by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Department of Justice in Advance of the 2016 Election - 5010

In response to requests from Congress, various organizations, and members of the public, the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) Office of the Inspector General (OIG) undertook this review of various actions by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the DOJ in connection with the investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server, an investigation may have influenced the presidential election with the October announcement concerning emails discovered on Anthony Weiner's laptop. 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 then candidate 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. The OIG reviewed significantly more than 1.2 million documents during the review and interviewed more than 100 witnesses, several on more than one occasion. These included former Director Comey, former Attorney General Loretta Lynch, former Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates, FBI agents and supervisors and DOJ attorneys and supervisors who conducted the investigation, former and current members of the FBI's senior executive leadership, and former President Bill Clinton.
