Rice and Powell have received emails on a private account that were classified though.
Pre-release leaks

Yes.
But there are rules about handling classified information. Not the same as orders but a civilian version.
The IG didn't. Here is the summary.
DOJ IG Michael Horowitz: "We found the implication that senior FBI employees would be willing to take official action to impact the presidential candidate's electoral prospects to be deeply troubling."
Again, that is about as extreme of vocabulary you will get from an IG.
Yet I posted it right there for everyone to read. What a dilemma; do we believe our lying eyes reading the post that contains part of the report or your post?
LMAO!
Boomy can read the headlines and determine whether to believe what is reported or dismiss as right propaganda...
I'm not sure why you think your post falsifies what dave states. Both are true.
Fixed it for you.
What people are having an issue with handling is the clear double standard that was applied to her.
Believe the report. You know.....where it says she sent, received and stored classified information.
The funny thing is you laughing at people who actually read the report when you clearly didnt. Of course ignoranceis bliss.
Horowitz 6/18 Statement:

"As detailed in our report, we found that the inappropriate political messages cast a cloud over the Midyear investigation, sowed doubt about the credibility of the FBI’s handling of it, and impacted the reputation of the FBI. Moreover, we found the implication that senior FBI employees would be willing to take official action to impact a presidential candidate’s electoral prospects to be deeply troubling and antithetical to the core values of the FBI and the Department of Justice."

"As we describe in Chapter Twelve of our report, most of the text messages raising such questions pertained to the Russia investigation, which was not a part of this review."
Looks to me like McCabe will not only not be indicted, but he will ultimately receive a nice pension/settlement. Thanks IG.
We agreed with Kelley, the FBI’s chief ethics official, that McCabe was not at any time required to recuse from the Clinton-related investigations under the
relevant authorities. However, following the October 23 WSJ article and discussions with Comey, McCabe recused from the Clinton-related investigations on
November 1, 2016. Once McCabe recused himself, he was required to cease participation in those matters. Voluntary recusal is always permissible with the approval of a supervisor or ethics official, even where the elements in section 502(a) are not present.

Well, except for that whole February McCabe report, and his lack of candor thing.
Yes he was. And that reason was because trump is a dumbass, partisan hack with a very fragile ego who feeds on praise.
When one takes the supervisory position and move into will-and -pleasure division, they must accept the gamble. Trump may be all those things you dream of, but that does not save the *** of a will-and-pleasure employee.
You think they'll get the Mueller investigation stopped/discarded/nullified completely?
I got through most of it....I skimmed a great deal.
1- I think it’s pathetic that the FBI adjusts anything due to political implications. The email screw up was Clinton’s fault, and if it’s policy not to comment - they shouldn’t have commented. I don’t believe it was anything but Clinton’s incompetence, but the FBI should have seen the investigation through.
2- I think Comey was a horrible Dir, and the org was borderline out of control....and he should shoulder just as much blame for the lack of trust in the FBI as Trump.
3- I think Lynch did more than I thought she did to avoid bias...but should have addressed the meeting publically.
4- I’m angry that the FBI allowed the lack of thoroughness in the mid year exam.
5- I think there was actual worry within the org that Trump was compromised
