Summary
The Email investigation illustrates how the FBI was operating in terms of the investigation of political figures. There can be little doubt that at the point Mills and Abedin were allowed to destroy evidence the decision on how the investigation was to go had been made. There is the notable double standard on what warrants a special counsel. The Obama administration went on national TV declaring how an ongoing investigation should go, vs Trump firing what was an incredibly flawed FBI director as his actions would prove out.
