FBI, DOJ roiled by Comey, Lynch decision to let Clinton slide by on emails, says insider
Fox News ^ | October 12, 2016 | Malia Zimmerman, Adam Housley

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.

Sure....

When there are resignations, I may believe it.

Until then, they are complicit.

Bullship. I don’t see any mass resignations.

The peons are just hedging their bets in case Trump wins.

The FBI will do nothing except let more Islamoterrorists
murder Americans.

NOTHING except helping al QAEDA.

NOTHING except helping the Comey and Clinton Rackets.

NOTHING except breaking their Oaths (which mean nothing).

Sure don’t see any investigative reporting, people talking to the cameras with their faces shielded and voices altered. Until that happens, it’s bs.

An Army buddy is an FBI agent and he’s been saying this for months, but I’m STILL WAITING ...

After eight years virtually every Federal agency and the Military have come under the control of the Obama commissars. Rational people should no more believe statistics, data, reports and pronouncements from these agencies any more than they believed the rants of the Soviet communists.

Sure, all this anonymous outrage. They have all decided that their salaries and pensions are more important than their honor and integrity, not to mention the fate of the country.
