FBI is going to force their parent agency to do something. Got it.
Rather than resign, could Comey simply hold a press conference and announce that he is beginning an investigation into possible obstruction of justice at the Justice Department and White House if they ignore the FBI’s recommendation to indict? Even a press conference offering it as a possibility would likely get some movement. If nothing else the Justice Department would have to appoint a Special Prosecutor if the Attorney General were potentially a target of and FBI investigation herself, correct?
