FBI Director Comey Pre-empts Justice Department by Advising No Charges for Hillary Clinton

A former Justice Department official calls it “absolutely unprecedented, appalling, and a flagrant violation of Justice Department regulations.”
FBI Director James Comey took the unprecedented step of publicly pre-empting a Justice Department prosecution when he declared at a press conference Tuesday that “no reasonable prosecutor” would bring a case against Hillary Clinton for her use of a private email server.
The FBI’s job is to investigate crimes; it is Justice Department prosecutors who are supposed to decide whether or not to move forward. But in a case that had enormous political implications, Comey decided the FBI would act on its own.
