The decision to let Hillary Clinton off the hook for mishandling classified information has roiled the FBI and Department of Justice, with one person closely involved in the year-long probe telling FoxNews.com that career agents and attorneys on the case unanimously believed the Democratic presidential nominee should have been charged.
The source, who spoke to FoxNews.com on the condition of anonymity, said FBI Director James Comey’s dramatic July 5 announcement that he would not recommend to the Attorney General’s office that the former secretary of state be charged left members of the investigative team dismayed and disgusted. More than 100 FBI agents and analysts worked around the clock with six attorneys from the DOJ’s National Security Division, Counter Espionage Section, to investigate the case.
“No trial level attorney agreed, no agent working the case agreed, with the decision not to prosecute -- it was a top-down decision,” said the source, whose identity and role in the case has been verified by FoxNews.com.
A high-ranking FBI official told Fox News that while it might not have been a unanimous decision, “It was unanimous that we all wanted her [Clinton’s] security clearance yanked.”
“It is safe to say the vast majority felt she should be prosecuted,” the senior FBI official told Fox News. “We were floored while listening to the FBI briefing because Comey laid it all out, and then said ‘but we are doing nothing,’ which made no sense to us.”
Andrew Napolitano, former judge and senior judicial analyst for Fox News Channel, said many law enforcement agents involved with the Clinton email investigation have similar beliefs.

If a tree falls in the forest . . .
Comey ruined the FBI reputation, nobody is leaking info like good whistle blowers should
No agents resigning in disgust.
And why should they be roiled? No competent prosecuter would have pressed charges. /s
Whistle blowers used to be protected NOW they are DESTROYED!!!
But... But... But... All the talking puppets on FOX news told us that Comey was above board and a paragon of integrity and honor who would NEVER let politics get in the way.
Right?
Hilarious
Yes, and...?
I would like to see three high ranking FBI officials come out and say this publicly. The country is at stake.
The FBI using a sniper and a high-powered rifle shot through the temple an innocent mother holding her baby.
all the people in the past 20 or 30 years who have worked for the FBI have been fine with that and they have been fine joining an organization that burned down a church full of innocent little kids.
the FBI is rotten from top to the very bottom.
If you know or meet someone who works for this corrupt and immoral organization you should shun them, don’t be friends with them.
it’s like being friends with Al Capone.
It talks about this in the Bible...
I believe that this to will happen, the arrows that have been and that will be flung at Trump will turn and hit the people that flung them, example of this is the recent Billy Bush tape, now we know RINO RYAN and his Romney band of never trumpers are setting things up for Ryan run in 2020...how convenient...only for them...
Trump will win this, it isn't Hillary's evil ilk time, have faith...
“The source, who spoke to FoxNews.com on the condition of anonymity...”
Brave soul. This patriot WILL be ferreted out and made to pay, most likely with his life, Vince Foster-style.
Expect Dept-wide polygraphs to be mandated.
Please tell us what their resignations would accomplish?
They would be replaced with people who will not disagree, will not leak this sort of information, and will be politically reliable.
Oh, well, all is forgiven then.
/s
Can we execute a citizen’s arrest of Hillary?
The senior people in any organization have enough years to retire and then call a press conference.
FBI agents are government employees.
Democrats put the Democrat Party ahead of law enforcement and their country.
Remember that when you are dealing with a Democrat.
I thought it was batfe / dea that did that.
the criminal oligarchs and their servants who are in the this US government know the American people will do nothing to them no matter what crimes they commit. Besides, those who are sworn to enforce our laws and those in the US military leadership positions are nothing but stooges being used to keep the DC power structure in tact. If there is no punishment for their crimes there is no reason for them to ever change their criminal ways.
The Germans running the trains for the Holocaust were very upset too. They still ran the trains.
If they’re too coward to stand alone, they should come out as a group.
