    How is it you manage to keep missing the most clear and pertinent sections?

    "Simply put, politics must play no role in the decisions of federal investigators or prosecutors regarding any investigations or criminal charges. Law enforcement officers and prosecutors may never select the timing of investigative steps or criminal charges for the purpose of affecting any election, or for the purpose of giving an advantage or disadvantage to any candidate or political party. Such a purpose is inconsistent with the Department's mission and with the Principles of Federal Prosecution.

    If you are faced with a question regarding the timing of charges or overt investigative steps near the time of a primary or general election, please contact the Public Integrity Section of the Criminal Division for further guidance. Please remember also that consultation with the Public Integrity Section of the Criminal Division is required at various stages of all criminal matters that focus on violations of federal and state campaign-finance law, federal patronage crimes, and corruption of the election process."


    Comey unilaterally decided to instruct the investigators to pursue the unknown emails found. Then, against the advice of the Attorney General, wrote a letter to Congress to advise them, knowing full well it would be published.
