I saw that as well and it should be taken with a grain of salt. Andy McCarthy has written a lot on this. The FBI doesn't have the authority to indict anyone. They have to make that recommendation to a "prosecutor" who then convenes a grand jury. In this case DOJ is the ultimate decision maker as to whether to convene a grand jury and that is by no means a certainty or in my view even remotely likely regardless of the evidence the FBI develops. So step one is FBI makes a recommendation. Step 2, DOJ agrees and convenes a grand jury to view the evidence. Step 3 the grand jury decides to indict or not. If they do it either goes to trial or is settled. I have no doubt based on what we know, which is probably a small amount of the daming evidence, that they will recommend this to a gradn jury. I seriously doubt that DOJ will concur.
What is then left is for the FBI to leak the information and let the public decide. A huge miscarriage of justice that sends the message that if you are politically powerful you are immune to prosecution for your misdeeds. But then again, when has that happened before?!?!? <sarc off>
