in regards to the inspector general's report I think Comey stepped outside the chain of command and took too much unto himself. Lynch made it difficult for him by not recusing herself as she should have. But even so he made a mistake in not following established procedure.
With respect to Strozk, I think his superiors need to scrutinize his actions and make a determination as to whether his political views affected his work. I believe this falls on Wray's lap.

why should Lynch have recused herself ?
Because Sean Hannity said so ?
The report today was to find malfeasance on the part of HRC email kerfuffle

One shouldn't underrate how much the media's obsession with Clinton's emails
stemmed from its obsession with fending off accusations of liberal bias.
Trump had... LOTS of issues.... so there was tremendous weight put
on this one Clinton issue to preserve "balance".

At the same time in the campaign HRC was pilloried over Clinton Foundation comings and goings.
This happened this morning, or let me say, a regurgitation of this happened this morning.
This was known in the fall of 2016

On Thursday morning, the New York Attorney General’s Office slapped the Trump Foundation with an explosive lawsuit claiming President Donald Trump’s charitable organization was “little more than an empty shell” that his campaign and for-profit company used like an extra bank account.
“Mr. Trump ran the Foundation according to his whim, rather than the law,” the lawsuit says, claiming he used the charity’s millions of dollars to pursue vanity projects, finance his run for president, and settle legal threats to the Trump family’s corporate empire. Many of those activities would violate federal tax law or laws against using tax-exempt organizations for self-dealing.
The email’s subject line was, “RE: Veterans Charities.”
The lawsuit also spells out five separate occasions on which it says the foundation used its funds to benefit Trump’s for-profit businesses, which would be a violation of laws against self-dealing.
Those include a 2007 payment of $100,000 to settle a zoning dispute over the height of the flagpole on Mar-a-Lago’s front lawn. It was too tall under Palm Beach ordinances.
Five years later, the foundation paid $158,000 to a man, Martin Greenberg, who was suing the Trump National Golf Club for allegedly failing to honor its promise of a $1 million prize for any player who scored a hole-in-one on the 13th hole.
The self-dealing accusations also cover the $10,000 the Trump Organization spent to purchase a 4-foot-tall portrait of Trump, which, infamously, reporters found decorating the bar at the Trump National Doral Miami.
The lawsuit sets out to prove that Trump personally broke the law, rather than leaving the impression that personnel did so on his behalf. Trump, the lawsuit states, was the only signatory on the foundation’s bank account and therefore approved all of its spending. Among the documents appearing in the lawsuit is a note apparently handwritten by Trump approving a $100,000 payment by the Trump Organization to settle the flagpole dispute.
The attorney general, Barbara Underwood, is seeking nearly $3 million in restitution and demanding for Trump to be barred from holding any position in a nonprofit organization for 10 years. It also calls for his three oldest children, who were variously involved with the foundation, to be barred for one year each.
That would force Ivanka Trump, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump out of a range of charity groups that they’re currently involved with and could profoundly impact their post-White House lives. Nearly every former president in modern history has used charitable work as tool to define his legacy, exert influence over world affairs, and help himself and his family maintain access to rich and powerful world leaders.
Among the more immediate consequences, the lawsuit is preventing the foundation from quietly dissolving itself. Instead, the lawsuit will drag its potential violations into open court, where Trump has vowed to bring a fight.
“I won’t settle this case!” he tweeted Thursday morning, saying the lawsuit was nothing more than an attack by “sleazy New York Democrats.”
