If we glean anything from the Department of Justice (DOJ) Report of the Inspector General (IG), it is that some FBI agents not only wanted Hillary Clinton to be the next president but that this outcome dictated the investigation, not the other way around. In addition to the outright statements of loathing of candidate Donald Trump and blind admiration for candidate Clinton, the FBI and DOJ approached all things Clinton with kid gloves — a double standard explained solely by political favoritism.

Did anyone admit outright that “we did this to cover for Hillary Clinton?” No, but no one should have expected a confession from any of this crowd; they knew the inspector general could not prosecute them.

At least five FBI agents working on the Clinton “matter” despised Donald Trump.  They wanted to "protect the country from that menace.” They viewed anyone who voted for "Donald Drumpf" as "an absolute … idiot," especially the "retarded" supporters in Ohio.  It went on and on.

The IG recognized that “when one senior FBI official, (Peter) Strzok, who was helping to lead the Russia investigation at the time, conveys in a text message to another senior FBI official, (Lisa) Page, that ‘we’ll stop’ candidate Trump from being elected — after other extensive text messages between the two disparaging candidate Trump — it is not only indicative of a biased state of mind but, even more seriously, implies a willingness to take official action to impact the presidential candidate’s electoral prospects.”

Astonishingly, the “we’ll stop” text was revealed for the first time Thursday — despite relentless efforts by Congress to obtain all the messages for months. Apparently Strzok and Page had deleted it — as it took the IG’s forensics team until May of this year to find it.

Then there’s the glaring disparity in the way the DOJ and the FBI treated Clinton, her colleagues and her attorneys versus the way they have treated President Trump, his lawyers and associates.

Irrefutable facts establish that Clinton had classified information on her private server and it was accessed by a foreign power. That is a violation of the Espionage Act (18 U.S.C. Section 793), plain and simple.

FBI agents wanted to use subpoenas and search warrants because they caught the Hillary team hiding things, but they never got those subpoenas and search warrants. Not a single witness was brought before a federal grand jury. Paul Combetta, the guy who set up Clinton’s server and then wiped it clean, not only lied to the FBI but destroyed the evidence after Congress subpoenaed it. They gave him immunity. I’ll bet Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos would have taken that deal.

Clinton told everyone she set up the private server because she wanted to use only one device. The truth, reflected in the IG’s report, is that she had 13 devices — identified by the FBI from her phone records. Somehow, Clinton’s multiple attorneys “were unable to locate” any of them. Notably, the inspector general documented that FBI agents believed Clinton’s attorneys “were not forthcoming about the existence of potential sources of evidence.” Translation: They thought her lawyers were lying and hiding evidence.

Of course, then, the FBI executed a search warrant on Mrs. Clinton’s home, offices and the offices of her attorneys, right? No.

Yet, we’ve all heard the news of FBI agents executing search warrants and raiding the home, office and hotel room of Michael Cohen, the personal attorney of the president of the United States.

And don’t forget Paul Manafort
