Writing this, on "the morning after" - waking up to hear that Attorney General Loretta Lynch & company were not pleased by this release. President Obama should ask for his resignation. You can't have a rogue FBI chief deciding on his own that covering his ass is the overriding policy determining his actions, or going against the AG's preference. He really should resign. She said not to? And he went ahead with it anyway? He needs to be gone. Because the next question, if he stays, would be - when would he just go ahead and help himself to this kind of activity again? And how often?
