Only a few Arizona politicos weighed-in after the Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz released the report on former FBI director James Comey. Rep. Paul Gosar, once again set the Twittersphere abuzz.
The Department of Justice Inspector General’s report released on Thursday found Comey violated FBI policies, and his employment agreement with the FBI when he decided to give memos to a friend in the hopes they would be shared with the media.
“Today’s report from Inspector General Horowitz confirms what we have known for some time: James Comey violated FBI policies and lied about leaking classified materials in an attempt to harm President Trump. James Comey has time and time again proven himself to be a liar, void of ethics and moral clarity. To call James Comey a clown, would be offensive to the carnival community,” stated Gosar in a message he shared on Twitter.

Representatives Andy Biggs and Debbie Lesko took less humorous approaches to the matter:
Today's report from DOJ IG Michael Horowitz found that Comey kept FBI memos w/o authorization, “set a dangerous example for the over 35,000 current FBI employees,” & disclosed “sensitive investigative information” without authorization “to achieve a personally desired outcome.” pic.twitter.com/rKAhczC2Np

The IG’s report confirms what we’ve known all along: James Comey violated DOJ and FBI policies in how he handled sensitive and classified information related to President @realDonaldTrump. Now more than ever, we must get to the bottom of how the Russia investigation started.
