My statements purely state that the FBI is very aware of how to take actions and make statements that are true, but misleading. What is the issue is that the OIG took statements that were clearly meaningless -- but assigned meaning to them.

In fact, if you read the report, which includes these statements, "In the (FBI elite hacking unit) Chief’s view, the fact that he was not asked for help sooner was not a mistake in judgment or communication breakdown on CEAU’s part, but rather the result of a long-standing policy that the ROU Chief understood created a “line in the sand ”against using national security tools in criminal cases." -- which if true, given the events were a known terrorist attack, would have made the events a national security matter.
