Gowdy Blasts FBI: I am Alarmed I tell you, Angered, and Extremely Disappointed
 [Townhall] House Oversight Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy released a scathing statement Thursday afternoon ahead of Inspector General Michael Horowitz's report about FBI misconduct during the 2016 presidential election. Here is the statement in full, which details finding in the report (bolding is mine): I am alarmed, angered, and deeply disappointed by the Inspector General’s finding of numerous failures by DOJ and FBI in investigating potential Espionage Act violations by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. This report confirms investigative decisions made by the FBI during the pendency of this investigation were unprecedented and deviated from traditional investigative procedures in favor of a much more permissive and voluntary approach. This is not the way normal investigations are run. The investigation was mishandled. The investigatory conclusions were reached before the end of the witness interviews. The July 5th press conference marked a serious violation of policy and process. And the letters to Congress in the fall of 2016 were both delayed in substance and unnecessary in form.
