None of those tools was used in the Clinton case. Though both Lynch and Mr. Clinton denied talking about the investigations, the attorney general took herself and senior DOJ management off the Hillary Clinton case, leaving the FBI director with the authority to decide whether to prosecute.

Clinton denied vehemently that she had caused any state secrets to pass into the hands of hostile foreign governments. I have examined the newly released emails, and the state secrets have been whited out.
