On Wednesday, CNN law enforcement analyst and retired FBI supervisory special agent James A. Gagliano revealed new insight into the Justice Department’s Inspector General report that is expected to be released in the near future, saying it is even worse than expected, according to his sources.
Gagliano tweeted: “Sources with knowledge of the impending DOJ Inspector General Report confirm that it will be a fairly damning indictment of FBI’s seventh floor during the Comey era. ‘It’s worse than expected,’ seems to be the consistent theme …”
