Comey to testify to congress

In sure the democrats will ask such hard hitters as what's your favorite color? And do you like the ocean?
herdman, you understand the chain of command. I don't really blame Comey because I think he did the only thing he could, tell everyone truthfully what he found, that Hillary did break the law, that she lied repeatedly about it, and that she put the national security of this country at risk. He then went on to say the exact truth, no one is going to prosecute her for this crime, so why recommend charges?
What would have recommending charges actually done except end his career, maybe his life the way the Clintons work (not necessarily in a literal sense, but I could see a dead hooker ending up in his bed one night ala The Godfather II). In my eyes he was "made an offer he couldn't refuse", but still got his message and findings out there for the public to do with what they see fit.

Are they going to yank her security clearances? She could never pass a background check anymore.
If he had any balls he would have referred case to justice and let them come out and say hey this is political no charges for Hillary. Instead he made the fbi look stupid by pointing out everything she did wrong and how negligent she was only to give credence to the claim that the rules don't apply to the elites
Well since she was never convicted of anything, nothing will show on her background check. Still doesn't mean she ain't a big fat ****ing liar
Well, that is not totally the way it works. If you can't be trusted or are incompetent to handle classified information they yank your clearance. They can yank your clearance for talking about things at the water cooler.
The fact remains, the decision to go forward with charges is ultimately on the prosecutor, that is, in this case, someone with Main Justice (DOJ in D.C.). I think it is likely Comey was told beforehand that an indictment would not be sought, which - in turn - led to the FBI's decision not to submit it for prosecution. This lends itself to less of a paper trail as no declination sheet would likely have to be prepared by the prosecutor. More of the same ol', same ol' from the rich good old boys (and girls) club.
I think Comey took it on the chin for the admin. If he recommended prosecution and Lynch sandbagged the recommendation, it would be blatant political corruption and everyone would know it. The way it went down, everyone just suspects corruption and the whole "There is no there, there" story continues.
i get all that, but at the same time, comey has pretty solid job security for the next 7 years.
i just don't buy the greater conspiracy of everything, i think it's pretty much a case of rich and powerful people in general play by a different set of rules than we do.
Comey has seen, through his work on Whitewater and this case, exactly what the Clintons can do to people that get in their way. Add on to that you would have the current President and AG mad at you and ask yourself what you would have done. That's why I say that even saying what he did in his statement was a huge thing and took a lot of balls. He could have just said that after a full investigation there was insufficient evidence to press forward and called it a day.
Comey was a special prosecutor during Whitewater. no charges were filed despite an almost identical list of "wrongdoings". he moved right up the ranks to the top dog at the FBI. do you think that was a coincidence?
