DOJ probe fails to tie Giuliani's claims to FBI, or find sources of leaks about Hillary Clinton
Source: Washington Post
A four-year probe by the Justice Department Inspector General could not determine who in the FBI spoke to reporters about sensitive subjects during the 2016 election, or find evidence that Rudolph W. Giuliani had inside information about an investigation into Hillary Clinton that upended the race in its final days.
The report issued Thursday by Inspector General Michael Horowitz said there were “substantial media contacts” with numerous FBI employees, but the evidence could not “determine whether these media contacts resulted in the disclosure of nonpublic information.” Horowitz faulted what he called “a cultural attitude at the FBI that was far too permissive of unauthorized media contacts in 2016.”
The 10-page report is the long-awaited summary of an issue that consumed the FBI and Justice Department during the presidential contest between Clinton and Donald Trump. The FBI director at the time, James B. Comey, told the inspector general that he was determined to find out who was leaking to reporters, particularly after articles about internal disputes between the Justice Department and the FBI over how to handle a faltering probe of the Clinton Foundation.
While those stories were being reported in late October of 2016, Comey announced publicly that he was reopening an investigation into Clinton’s use of a private email server that contained classified information, based on copies of her emails that had been found in a separate case. That announcement came two weeks before Election Day. A 2018 inspector general report about the Clinton case was highly critical of Comey and his former boss, Attorney General Loretta E. Lynch. But Horowitz’s office spent three more years working on the leak-hunting portion of the investigation, and came up largely empty.

"retired" being the keyword to dismiss them as "active" employees. 
Since the eventual "email" thing resulted in nailing Anthony Weiner, I think there may have been some "rogues" in the U.S. Attorney's office there (since Ghoul originally came out of SDNY and this would have happened when Preet Bharara was U.S. Attorney for SDNY and probably had to deal with some rogue career types as it is... he was eventually sacked a few months after the election).
They didn't want to find this information and didn't.
