Comey’s long-anticipated recommendation to the Justice Department removed the most serious threat that had hung over Clinton’s presidential campaign — the possibility of a criminal indictment. It is highly unlikely that the Justice Department will overrule the director's recommendation. The announcement comes three days after FBI agents and Justice Department officials interviewed Clinton at FBI headquarters — a step that had long been forecast as the final move in the investigation. The Justice Department has provided no timeline on when officials might announce a final decision. He noted that those previously charged in such instances intentionally or willfully mishandled classified information, or did so in such vast quantities that they must have known what they were doing.
