She noted that the FBI protested the move but were overridden, so the decision must have come from a senior level within the DOJ.

Well we do know the LL had her "input" as to how the FBI should handle certain "matters".

I also saw several other references to the DOJ making decisions for them as well. Particular in reference to "gross negligence". She stated the HRC team could have admitted they were negligent and would never have been charged... Amazing....

Page says the DOJ refused to pursue “gross-negligence” charges against Hillary Clinton over her use of a private email server to send classified information.

The reference to the Justice Department would be repeated multiple times with Page noting, “we had multiple conversations with the Justice Department about bringing a gross negligence charge. And that’s, as I said, the advice that we got from the Department was that they did not think—that it was constitutionally vague and not sustainable.”

“Let’s assume things are going swimmingly and, in fact, all 17 of those witnesses admit, ‘We did it, it was on purpose, we totally wanted to mishandle classified information,’ gross negligence would still have been off the table because of the Department’s assessment that it was vague. We would have other crimes to now charge, but gross negligence would not have been among them.”

thanks.
I really need to stop looking for things and start reading everything before I clutter threads with answered question. . I found this...

“I don’t honestly have the sense that the Attorney General was ultimately disappointed, because it really did let the Justice Department off the hook. Everybody talks about this as if this was the FBI investigation, and the truth of the matter is there was not a single step, other than the July 5th statement, there was not a single investigative step that we did not do in consultation with or at the direction of the Justice Department.”

cripes...just shoot me.
