    The Daily Wire made it all up.


    If Hillary was so obviously guilty of something, she would have been charged. QED.

    Admit what?

    Do prosecutors make a habit of charging unwinnable cases? There go your claims of being a lawyer. Moron.

    It continues to amaze me that people like Rainman exist who are just plain incuriously stupid to believe the right-wing screech machine.

    The FBI’s job is to investigate. They do not ordinarily file charges, it’s literally not their job. It is the DOJ’s job. The DOJ didn’t nefariously order the FBI to not charge because the FBI wouldn’t be filing the charges regardless.

    The FBI asked the DOJ if filing charges was likely and the DOJ said “given that there is absolutely no precedent for criminal charges in a case like this, we don’t plan to, no.”

    Who do you propose should have been in charge of deciding whether or not charges were filed?

    Make up an absurd fake scandal, ask responsible authorities if they intend to follow up on it, claim corruption when they decline. It’s just so blitheringly awfully dumb that I lose hope for the country.

    Generally speaking doesn't the FBI gather the facts and the DOJ/prosecutors would decide if they can win it.
    From the story...
    "And the Justice Department's assessment was that it was both constitutionally vague, so that they did not actually feel that they could permissibly bring that charge, and also that it had either never been done or had only been done once like 99 years ago. And so they did not feel that they could sustain a charge."

    And in the meantime, Mnuchey's gotta drop by the Treasury building with a U-Haul 30-footer to pick up a couple tons of fresh Benjis to ship off to Moscow for Big Daddy.
