visit alz.org to join the fight. a new inspector general report faulting several fbi officials over how they conducted the hillary clinton investigation and to a lesser degree donald trump. let me start with my political panel. ultimately, do you see this report and its criticisms as helpful to president trump in his battle against the mueller investigation and the fbi or hurtful or a little of both? i think it helps a bit because there are two sort of battling narratives here. one, as this sort of comey story that the fbi and all of its employees are perfect upstanding citizens and can never do wrong
