(5,954 posts)until they had him so rattled that he felt 'compelled' (his words) to inform them AGAINST the advice of the Attorney General, and AGAINST standard FBI policy.
The House GOP sent him out to investigate Clinton, and when he didn't indict her, THEY WENT AFTER THE FBI INSTEAD. They hauled him up before the oversight commettee and grilled him about WHY he didn't indict her. And then started insulting the FBI, questioning their integrity, issuing subpoenas to look at their NOTES, so they could find things to embarass them with. The message is clear: when we send you out to investigate our political oponents, you'd better indict them, or we'll come after YOU INSTEAD. Obviously they got him rattled to the point where he felt compelled to do this.
