Which two off this list do you choose?

Comey
Strzk
Page
McCabe
Yates
Lynch
the FISA judge "Rudy"

Quote: Once again, Comey and McCabe acted in a way that significantly hurt Clinton, so there is evidence that they weren't biased, when they reopened the case after finding the Weiner emails.

OK, following that reasoning, Trump cleared himself of collusion when he enacted the sanctions.

No, following that reasoning means that he provided evidence that he is not 100% beholden to Putin. But just as I didn't suggest about the Comey/McCabe decision, that one line of evidence does not definitively prove anything about the Trump Campaign/Russia collusion.

And how does your listing of other people who not acted 100% within protocol have any bearing on the bias of the Clinton probe?

1) Yates was not involved with the investigation and the issue she is known for has to do with an executive order.
2) The texters sure had private beliefs about Trump which weren't good (same about Clinton, btw), but that does not mean one WILL be biased in how they conduct themselves. We all, on a regular basis in our lines of work, work within the confines of a system that go against our opinions. But that is why you remove someone from an investigation because of the potential for bias.
3) Is there hard evidence that the FISA court did anything against protocol? That all seems to be speculation at the moment, right?
