Nonsense. If the FBI recommends an indictment with Comey feeling so strongly about it that he resigns because DOJ refuses to prosecute, then we will have a Constitutional crisis.

The proposition that we are all equal under the law, the very foundation of our Republic, will be shattered. You can bet that the Rep controlled Congress will express outrage along with the majority of the public.

What happens if the leaked details of the case not only include Clinton and her staff knowingly transmitting and storing classified information on her server, including removing the classified markings, but also, that Clinton traded favors for contributions by foreign governments to her Foundation?

We really don’t know if the FBI recovered the emails Hillary erased. Their could be far more involved than just mishandling classified information. If Obama and DOJ are seen as protecting the Dem nominee for President from prosecution and the FBI Director resigns, we will have the biggest Constitutional crisis since Watergate.

It's not a "constitutional crisis" if elements of one branch disagree with each other. No delegated powers are implicated, no reserved or plenary powers are impaired.

Prosecution is an executive function. If Congress disagrees in this matter (and surely they do not), they can remove Obama. Furthermore, they can impeach Hillary Clinton and impose disqualification from future office as the penalty.

The crisis is that the enemy is inside the wire. That's a MILITARY crisis, not a constitutional one.

Yes, they excel at "expressing outrage". Maybe they can make Issa and Gowdy co-chairs of the outrage expressing committee.

along with the majority of the public - you're joking, right?.
