The failure to prosecute Comey for his misconduct is a threat to the rule of alw

Neil Braithwaite:
DOJ opens the door for future FBI political corruption

The DOJ set a dangerous precedent with its decision not to prosecute fired FBI director James Comey for violating department and FBI policies identified in the I.G. Report.
The I.G. Report's "Conclusion" specifically stated (emphasis mine), that:
Comey set a dangerous example for the over 35,000 current FBI employees — and the many thousands more former FBI employees…" and went on to strongly warn that "were current or former FBI employees to follow the former Director's example and disclose sensitive information in service of their own strongly held personal convictions, the FBI would be unable to dispatch its law enforcement duties properly.
The DOJ's decision not to prosecute Comey cannot be reconciled with what the I.G. Report clearly warns against.
...
What the report seems to ignore is that Comey did these things as part of a coup attempt against the President.  Those who engage in such activities should be brought to justice.

Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
