*DOJ prosecutors determined to rely on [[consent agreement]]s to gather evidence, rather than search warrants and subpeaonas which the FBI preferred. Even Peter Strzok said he was “aggravated by the limitations” that the prosecutors were placing on the FBI’s ability to obtain evidence.

*The FBI's internal Inspection Division (INSD) File Review team found that the FBI conducted a thorough investigation within the constraints imposed by DOJ, but the structure of the investigation and prosecution team hindered the ability of the investigative team
