I don’t understand. Since when is it the FBI’s job to “prosecute” anyone. Isn’t that the DOJ’s job, the AG’s job?

Just ask Comey about whether the FBI should decide who to prosecute.

The FBI cannot prosecute anyone. That is the province of the DoJ.

But law enforcement (FBI) can file a criminal complaint with the prosecutor (DoJ) and in most cases the prosecutor will then seek an indictment.

So when the incompetent media says the FBI decided not to prosecute, what they should be saying instead is the FBI decided not to file a criminal complaint.

[Robert DeLong]

...the FBI does not have the job of deciding who should, or should not, be prosecuted for crime. It was created to do investigations – period. When it finishes one of its probes, it can and usually does make recommendations, but someone else has the job of deciding what to do with the results of those investigations – an actual prosecutor.

Since never. The main perp has as much as admitted that it is illegal and unconstitutional for it to do so.

Drain the F'ing swamp already!

Let’s say there’s a gang of bank robbers and the FBI starts investigating... A day into the investigation they discover the prime suspect donates large sums of cash to Democrats... so they drop the case.

Drop the case based on the “D” next to the thief’s name...

How do you feel about that?
