The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Which is basically what James Comey did that led Rosenstein to recommended firing him.

Not really. Rosenstein said that Comey shouldn't have held a press conference to announce a non-prosecution decision, since the FBI Director isn't the government official that makes that call - that's the prosecutors' job. He also said that it violated department policy to release derogatory information about the subject of a declined criminal investigation.

Neither would apply to Hur. It's part of his job to issue a report on his investigation and outlining his recommendations. Unlike Comey, he never had the option to just say nothing - the special counsel is required in the statute to provide a report outlining his prosecution or declination decisions and the reasons for them, in a way that the FBI Director most certainly is not.
