(12,002 posts)That is, if the FBI determines there is sufficient evidence, first, the FBI makes a recommendation to the DOJ, and then, presumably some time later, the DOJ/AG decides whether or not to act on that recommendation? That is, the two would not typically be expected to happen on the same day. Though whether the FBI's recommendation necessarily needs to be made public before the DOJ makes it decision, I don't know.

As for my prediction, I predict the FBI nails H.

I lost a day somewhere!
grasswire
(50,130 posts)...due to the significance of the dustup between FBI and prosecutor regarding Cheryl Mills today.
Speculation is that DoJ made a deal with Mills about that line of inquiry/testimony and DID NOT inform the FBI about it, which is why Mills was shocked at the questions.
I don't think he would quit yet.

(50,130 posts)..is that Comey wants to set the record straight after that stupid WaPo article about the state of the investigation.
Far more likely than anything else.

yallerdawg
(16,104 posts)No - the point is the OP and thread acts as if this is a real thing.
This here is exactly how "Hillary stuff" gets started - and reinforced.
See any "Comey pressers" announced anywhere, anytime? Especially when it was supposed to be yesterday morning?
But the OP stands, the thread goes on.

(26,060 posts)those sources weren't attacked? Because that wouldn't be honest.

leftynyc
(26,060 posts)The man who made a very public break with the right? So tell me, why do you trust Elizabeth Warren who was a republican much more recently than Brock was?
Autumn
(45,120 posts)Elizabeth Warren, former republican believes in Democratic principles and votes and speaks accordingly. Brock is a low life piece of shit who will never change into a democrat or even a decent human being. He was a rat fucker, he is a rat fucker and will go to his grave a rat fucker. I have no problem with republicans, I know some fine, honest republicans. I do however have problems with trolls who pretend to be DUers or DUers who troll other sites and pretend to be what they are not.
leftynyc
(26,060 posts)that he supports Hillary - that's all you're really saying. Got it.
Autumn
(45,120 posts)since he lied and smeared Anita Hill, since he dragged Bill Clinton and the nation through the filth and slime that he is and that he breathes . For every word he has ever written or uttered I despise him. That's not going to change.

(24,411 posts)I find this interesting. It's a bit odd.
If Comey does this, I'm wondering...
Is he sick and tired of reading all of the disinformation in the press? There have been a few articles lately that quote anonymous sources, suggesting that the FBI has found "scant" or "no" evidence against Clinton.
These sources have been cited as "US officials" and "the people". Ridiculous.
These sources are people discussing details of the case--when they shouldn't be. The FBI would never leak in the middle of an investigation. So, someone not in the FBI, is shooting off their mouth. I bet that pisses off Comey. When Josh Earnest made a benign comment about the case, Loretta Lynch immediately went public and said the White House should not be commenting.
I posted yesterday about the "drip, drip, drip" of Clinton email stories and how bizarre it is.
The media often helps Clinton. We all know that. She's in the middle of an election, and she wants to control the messaging. It would not be surprising to find out that these anonymous sources are "Clinton friendlies" at the State Department who are helping her spin this positively. Repeatedly suggesting, in various articles, that "scant", "little" or "no" evidence has been found is someone shooting their mouth off when they shouldn't. I bet Comey doesn't appreciate that. Just like Lynch.
Maybe he's pulling a "Lynch" and will send the message to STFU.
