The 500-page inspector general\u2019s report released Thursday reveals how unjustified secrecy and poor decisions helped ravage the credibility of both Hillary Clinton\u2019s presidential campaign and the FBI.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yesterday\u2019s Inspector General report on the FBI\u2019s investigation of Hillary Clinton contained plenty of bombshells, including a promise by lead FBI investigator Peter Strzok that \u201cWe\u2019ll stop<\/a>\u201d Donald Trump from becoming president.\u00a0The report reveals how unjustified secrecy and squirrelly decisions helped ravage the credibility of both Hillary Clinton\u2019s presidential campaign and the FBI.\u00a0But few commentators are recognizing the vast peril to democracy posed by the sweeping prerogatives of federal agencies.<\/p>\n
