    Imperfect analogy, but should a referee throw a flag at the end of Super Bowl's 4th qtr? (Is it fair to the other team *not* to throw it?)

        it would be throwing the "there was a play that may or may not have involved a penalty" flag

        it's like reviewing the play. Unfortunately, voters might not know if "after further review, the play stands" before voting.

        then review the play. Don't throw the flag.

        what if the ref had been holding the flag for 2 quarters and threw it in last seconds for effect?

        *IF* Comey intentionally waited and timed this for maximum impact to hurt Hillary, then that would be inexcusable.

        agreed! Call me crazy, but I have a strong hunch that's exactly what we're about to find out!

        if there is a penalty worthy infraction that unfairly advances the guilty team, it's unfair NOT to throw it.

        it's a perfect analogy because the answer depends on which team you are rooting for.

        And the answer is there are some penalties so blatant they must be called.

        Comey's not the ref. He's prohibited by law from being any part of the game.

        For a play that happened at the beginning of the 4th quarter that the ref just was told about and hadn't yet seen?

        If infraction occurred before time ran out, absolutely. It's the rule (of law). Even after, unnecessary roughness, should call.
