It looks like pressure from angry liberal Democrats has finally forced the Department of Justice to look into the propriety of James Comey’s actions before the election.
BREAKING: The DOJ's internal watchdog announces an investigation into FBI's handling of the probe of Clinton's private email server

More from ABC News:
Department of Justice Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz announced today that his office will launch a review of the actions taken by the FBI and DOJ ahead of November’s election.
The inspector general will look at whether FBI Director James Comey’s press conference and notifications to Congress days prior to the election concerning the Hillary Clinton email probe were appropriate under DOJ guidelines.
Wow. What do you want to bet that Trump will characterize this as another naked attempt to delegitimize his presidency? But however much that may be true, it’s still a wonderment why Comey released the information about the investigation of Hillary right before the election, when nothing came of it, but didn’t release anything on Trump, when it’s clear from recent events that they were investigating what Russia had on the guy.
One last thing – this goes against social media etiquette, but really, you DON’T need to have a 100% certain opinion on everything. It IS possible to reserve judgement until more information is necessary. Indeed, some would say that it is much more wise to have that policy. But not me, of course.
