And well done indeed.

FBI presents evidence and recommends, Ag either agrees or declines,if the AG is convinced and a grand jury is seated, indictments come from the grand jury
If the AG takes a pass, hell is comin
If the AG seats a grand jury, A LOTTA FOLK ARE GOIN TO JAIL
He’s going to announce that he is indicting Trump...
There are two (or three, depending on how you count the prosecutor) check points.
The first check point is the investigator. The threshold for taking action by this entity is "probable cause." This threshold is used to justify arrest, and to bother the prosecutor. Arrest is discretionary, but the FBI has that power.
If there is no probable cause, the case stops right there. It never gets past the investigator.
The next check point is the prosecutor. When the investigator finds probable cause, the case is turned over to the prosecutor. The prosecutor can decide to engage a grand jury, or not, for various and sundry reasons.
Comey can kill this with a fining of "no probable cause a crime has been committed." The prosecutors are totally out of that picture.
His only other option is to find probable cause a crime was committed, at which point the prosecutors are on the hot seat.
I didn’t know that Comey was the lead prosecutor in the Martha Stewart case. Hillary skates and Martha went to prison. Now wouldn’t that be something.
she was just interviewed a few days ago..
and I’m sure they weren’t working yesterday
how can they make a decision so fast?
I think its just something about the meeting the other day
If I had did 5% of the email crap she’s accused of while I was on active duty I would be serving 50 years in Leavenworth. But the fix is in. She’ll walk.

@bringinthunder: Statement is on camera (watch on @CBSNLive), q's are off-camera, but reportable SOP, we have fought it in the past & lost.
It's slang, like "wolfing down a meal."
Short deliberations usually signals guilty defendant.
How has he been a standup guy?
I looked it up and you are correct. the 5th useage of scoff derived from the south africans is to eat
I have a pipe dream that maybe Obama is putting on a show of support for Hitlery so that the Clintons won’t retaliate. He can say he was willing to campaign for her, but will have to back out based on the announcement that Comey & the FBI is recommending an indictment. He can immediately start campaigning for Warren as POTUS.
I know, I know - its an unrealistic wish...
What better place to make deals than on Air Force One!
He’s a Bushie.
why only take questions off camera?
no criminal charges then. And they want to minimize the “public” trial
No doubt there was enough evidence before the interview, particularly if she didn’t say anything of substance which seems to be the case.
My expectation as well. Comey will give us his "Ongoing Investigation" speech with a touch of "Don't believe the rumors" and that will be it. The most we can hope for is a timetable.
Had to look that up. Richardson resigned rather than kowtow.
That is all Comey can do, if he’s honorable. That is what he must do.
