I predicted it, I predicted it would be whitewashed, my words exactly.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For more places to Find Newsmax TV \u2013 Click Here Now<\/p>\n<p>In a report, portions of which were made public Thursday, Inspector General Michael Horowitz found Comey &#8220;deviated&#8221; from FBI and Justice Department procedures in handling Clinton probe, damaging the agencies&#8217; image of impartiality. But he also ruled politics were not a motive.<\/p>\n<p>Klayman believes Attorney General Jeff Sessions did not want to rock the boat by criticizing his own department.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Sessions is under investigation himself . . . by [special counsel Robert] Mueller. He&#8217;s frightened of his shadow. . . . He&#8217;s part of the Deep State, he&#8217;s a politician, and the Justice Department is obviously going to protect itself,&#8221; Klayman told Newsmax hosts Miranda Khan, John Cardillo, and Gina Loudon.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So, all he was doing in this IG report was letting off some steam, some pressure for him not doing anything.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.newsmax.com\/newsmax-tv\/larry-klayman-inspector-general-james-comey-cover-up\/2018\/06\/14\/id\/866207\/\">http:\/\/www.newsmax.com\/newsmax-tv\/larry-klayman-inspector-general-james-comey-cover-up\/2018\/06\/14\/id\/866207\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-100125","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/100125","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=100125"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/100125\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=100125"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=100125"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=100125"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
