quote [ The Justice Department inspector general will review broad allegations of misconduct involving FBI Director James B. Comey and how he handled the probe of Hillary Clinton’s email practices, the inspector general announced Thursday.
The investigation will be wide ranging — encompassing Comey’s various letters and public statements on the matter and whether FBI or other Justice Department employees leaked nonpublic information, according to a news release from Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz. ] Of interest to historians, cuz the wine is spilt, we can't be unfucked.

Not true. Laws get broken all the time without charges being brought, for lots of reasons. There's one set of laws for the 1% and another for the rest of us. Using Comey's failure to prosecute doesn't carry much weight since according to the FBI report and his own public statements Clinton met every standard for prosecution except for intent - but the law as written expressly and (ironically) intentionally does not require intent. His whole argument for not filing charges is that it would set a bad precedent, never mind that not filing charges set an even worse precedent.

It's water under the bridge now, Clinton and her supporters can be relieved that she wasn't charged and still blame Comey for throwing the election (along with the Russians, the Bernie Bros, the Greens, the unions, the white working class, etc, etc).
