      Correct. What IS known is a long investigation has shown that there is not enough evidence to charge on. @cruickshank

      if DoJ isn't politically motivated, at least. I just think there's an arg for trusting eg Bharara over FBI *or* DoJ

      Bharara? The guy who has overseen killing all the investigations into banks? You're kidding, right? @cruickshank

      was it his idea to give them all deferred prosecution agreemnts? honestly not sure but my understanding was that came from above

      Precisely the reputation Comey came into FBI with too.

      shrug, I guess we'll see. Given what's known about CF, I guess I'm just willing to entertain idea that inv is legit & necessary.

      And non-political prosecutors who 1) know the law, including McDonnell precedent and 2) have seen the evidence don't agree.

          as of when, though? My understanding was they made that judgment in Feb but much more evidence has been gathered since, per WSJ

          You mean they've read a public book 2 more times?

          my reading was that they have more info from other public corruption cases gathered in field offices in Los Angeles & Miami

          One secret recording. Not much else that's not public. And PIN has reviewed that.
