The FBI does not charge. They investigate.
DOJ charges. Tell your buddy not to hold his breadth.
Breath.
And Obama can pardon up to Inauguration Day, well after Nov 8.
There’s a terse war between FBI and DOJ-HRC. FBI’s reputation is in the toilet, and they know moving fwd, it will take years to re-coup. And with out the rep, they have less power to get things done. HRC mistake this time, based on 30 yrs success, BTW, was she thought beating on the FBI over weekend served to silence them. The blow back, was today’s FBI FOIA dump; CLEARLY a round house right to HRC and DOJs collective heads. A clear shot across the bow; FBI is pissed. To drop the FOIA, even if it’s from Marc Rich / 2001 timeframe, still takes the oxigen out of the room for HRC for 1/2 of the day when there’s 7 left. It lead on Fox for 10 min tonight. The shot across the bow says; we can, in a moments notice, drop MORE materials, and it ain’t gonna be from 2001, next time. I’m concluding there’s war between FBI and DOJ over HRC and C.F; maybe even between two camps in the FBI. At end of day, beating on the FBI - either thru DOJ or HRC, may just have been FATAL to HRC.
They can only recommend charges to DOJ.
