the IG's report found that:
- Strzok showed bias in his decision to prioritize the Trump-Russia investigation over the Clinton probe.
- His texts “potentially indicated or created the appearance that investigative decisions they made [re: Clinton and Trump-Russia probes] were impacted by bias or improper considerations,” “appeared to mix political opinions with discussions about” the Clinton classified email probe, and included “statements of hostility toward then candidate Trump and statements of support for candidate Clinton.
- “Most of the text messages raising such questions pertained to the [Trump]-Russia investigation, which was not a part of this review.”
- Strzok had a “biased state of mind but, even more seriously … a willingness to take official action to impact the presidential candidate’s electoral prospects” and demonstrated behavior “antithetical to the core values of the FBI and the Department of Justice.”
- He brought “discredit" to himself, “sowed doubt about the FBI’s handling” of the Clinton classified email probe and “impacted the reputation of the FBI.”
- The damage “extends far beyond the scope” of the Clinton probe and “goes to the heart of the FBI’s reputation for neutral fact-finding and political independence.”
- He showed “extremely poor judgment” and “a gross lack of professionalism.”
- He used personal digital accounts for FBI business.
