The document discusses a conversation between Jeffrey E.
AI-Generated Summary
The document discusses a conversation between Jeffrey E. and Steve Bannon regarding Robert Mueller's investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia during the 2016 election. They are discussing how the origins of the investigation may be tainted by political bias due to anti-Trump sentiment among FBI officials, as revealed in an inspector general report from Michael Horowitz. The authors argue that this bias could impact the legality of the investigation, which was launched only months before the 2016 election and involved the use of informants, Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court wiretap warrants, national security letters to gather records, and the unmasking of campaign officials who were surveilled. The FBI's failure to act promptly upon discovering that Anthony Weiner's laptop contained thousands of Hillary Clinton's emails is also discussed as a potential example of bias affecting investigative decisions.
