LOL ... bribes? Care to cite a page number?
Yes, BRIBES.
They took Alcohol, Games Tickets, Free Meals in exchange
for classified information.

Cite what you're referring to.
I have the report open and searchable. There's not a single reference to bribes.
Can you back up your claim or not?
Page xii
We identified numerous FBI employees, at all levels of the organization and with no official reason to be in contact with the media, who were nevertheless in frequent contact with reporters. Attached to this report as Attachments E and F are two link charts that reflect the volume of communications that we identified between FBI employees and media representatives in April/May and October 2016.
We have profound concerns about the volume and extent of unauthorized media contacts by FBI personnel that we have uncovered during our review. In addition, we identified instances where FBI employees improperly received benefits from reporters, including tickets to sporting events, golfing outings, drinks and meals, and admittance to nonpublic social events. We will separately report on those investigations as they are concluded, consistent with the Inspector General Act, other applicable federal statutes, and OIG policy.
According to the watchdog report, investigators had “profound concerns about the volume and extent of unauthorized media contacts by FBI personnel that we have uncovered during our review.” “[W]e identified instances where FBI employees received tickets to sporting events from journalists, went on golfing outings with media representatives, were treated to drinks and meals after work by reporters, and were the guests of journalists at nonpublic social events,” Inspector General Horowitz wrote.

The point is they said they found no DOCUMENTARY or TESTIMONIAL evidence.
That doesn't mean that there was none. Nobody can read one's mind or know what their true intentions are when they make decisions to ignore, bypass, or follow through on something.

Of course when professionals bury evidence it never gets revealed.
That's the whole point.
😃
I take this report very seriously, and we accept its findings and recommendations. It’s also important to note what the inspector general did not find. The report did not find any evidence of political bias or improper consideration actually impacting the investigation under review. But the report does identify errors of judgment, violations of or disregard for policy, and decisions that, at the very least, in hindsight, were not the best choices.
We’ve already started taking the necessary steps to address those issues.

The FBI Director Wray is talking in a press conference
right now about the FBI employees that have been
referred for disciplinary investigation and then
following even legal action.
