I have always thought – perhaps naively – that the relationship of the FBI to the Attorney General was somewhat akin to the relationship of the military to the President, that the final word and decision was determined by the Executive. Apparently, I was wrong. FBI director James Comey, by his assumption of the power to make the decision to prosecute or not prosecute Hilary Clinton (admittedly after a half-invitation by Attorney General Lynch following her ill-considered meeting with the husband of the subject of the investigation), and his disclosure, contrary to Department of Justice historic policy and request, of potential new information has assumed the role of prosecutor general in the Clinton investigation. His unwarranted disclosures, first, that he believed Hilary Clinton was sloppy in her safeguarding classified information, however accurate, and his latest disclosures, as limited as they were, has – either deliberately or with "reckless didregard" put his thumb on the scale of the presidential election.
