I see some really damning stuff in this IG report. But I’ll just go ahead and say it: The IG pulled his punch just like Comey did with Hillary. I’m stunned by the gathered evidence of bias ... and shocked the IG doesn’t think the bias impacted the investigation.

Wait, wait, wait!! There is a word that describes a situation where the House votes to condemn the President … but then takes no further action. It’s called Censure. I can’t say this on the air, but THIS move by @SpeakerPelosi is total BULLSHIT.
