Moments after Thursday’s long-awaited release of the Department of Justice Inspector General report on the FBI’s handling of the Hillary Clinton e-mail investigation, a CNN Newsroom panel dismissed it as a “mild” report in which “[t]he other shoe didn’t drop” and will provide “[p]lenty of ammunition for both sides.” However, they fretted that the White House will “seize” on its findings and “take” a “victory lap” considering some of the findings. 

Senior legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin went first, telling host Brooke Baldwin that there’s “[p]lenty of ammunition for both sides” because “[i]f you think the FBI didn't like Hillary Clinton and didn't want to see here elected president and was biased against her, you can find that in this report” and vice versa concerning Donald Trump and his supporters.
