Paul Ryan has already commented:

"While I respect the law enforcement professionals at the FBI, this announcement defies explanation. No one should be above the law. Based upon the director's own statement, it appears damage is being done to the rule of law. Declining to prosecute Secretary Clinton for recklessly mishandling and transmitting national security information will set a terrible precedent. The findings of this investigation also make clear that Secretary Clinton misled the American people when she was confronted with her criminal actions. While we need more information about how the Bureau came to this recommendation, the American people will reject this troubling pattern of dishonesty and poor judgment."

Perhaps we'll see Congress appoint a Special Prosecutor.

Yeah, what we need to do is appoint -another- hearing. Just like the eight, or was it nine, hearings into Benghazi, the how many hearings into 9/11.

This is why the branches of the government are separate, so political parties can't use them as attack dogs to further their own cause when they don't like things.

Ashcroft appointed a special prosecutor for the Plame leak. Why was none appointed here?

I am impressed by the Clintons, Obama is the only thing that got in their way, other than that, They usually got what they wanted.
