The one true clear and convincing act this man could have done is to say “go forward with prosecution”.
Regardless of what this coward said or did (equivocations and admonitions of perceived guilt and faults), no recommendation to go forward with prosecution gave Clinton exactly what she needed - an edict of “no guilt” because there will be no prosecution. Reason for the willing MSM to lie and equivocate with a sense of legitimacy.
He is a coward and a traitor in my opinion and he heads an organization that is corrupt and evil through and through from the gate house up to the executive floors.
If I am Comey, I get in front of the cameras, announce the FBI will not pursue prosecution, and quit right on the spot.
Everybody would get it.
