So ... Senator Cornyn has an opinion?
Amazing. There are lots of opinions flying around here.

I can't read? Yeah, you should talk.
Cornyn Tweeted his opinion ... he didn't quote from the IG report.
Cornyn is a Trump sycophant, and Corker should know.
Nonetheless, when one senior FBI
official, Strzok, who was helping to lead the Russia investigation at the time, conveys in a text message to another senior FBI official, Page, “No. No he won’t. We’ll stop it” in response to her question “[Trump’s] not ever going to become president, right? Right?!”, it is not only indicative of a biased state of mind but, even more seriously, implies a willingness to take official action to impact the presidential candidate’s electoral prospects. This is antithetical to the core values of the FBI and the Department of Justice.
On Sunday, October 11, 2015, an interview of then President Barack Obama was aired on the CBS show 60 Minutes. During this interview, Obama characterized former Secretary Clinton’s use of a private email server as a “mistake,” but stated that it did not “pose[] a national security problem” and was “not a situation in which America’s national security was endangered.”
Former President Obama’s comments caused concern among FBI officials about the potential impact on the investigation. Former EAD John Giacalone told the OIG, “[W]e open up criminal investigations. And you have the President of the United States saying this is just a mistake.... That’s a problem, right?” Former AD Randy Coleman expressed the same concern, stating, “[The FBI had] a group of guys in here, professionals, that are conducting an investigation. And the...President of the United States just came out and said there’s no there there.”
...
Department prosecutors also were concerned. Responding to an email from
Laufman about Obama’s 60 Minutes interview, Toscas stated, “Saw this. And as
[one of the prosecutors] and I discussed last week, of course it had no—and will
never have any—effect whatsoever on our work and our independent judgment.”
Prosecutor 4 told the OIG that Obama’s statement was the genesis of the FBI’s
suspicions that the Department’s leadership was politically biased. This prosecutor
stated, “I know that the FBI considered those [statements] inappropriate. And that
it...[generated] a suspicion that there was a political bias...going on from the
Executive Branch.”

The fact that the only response you have is the same repeated nonsense proves that you don’t have an argument.

Just heard that the Inspector General declared that Hillary Clinton "ABUSED CHILDREN". Is that true? If so, pizzagate is real after all.
