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>
