That would be a career limiting comment.

I think the US Attorney for the federal district in which the crime was alleged must determine whether to prosecute and can be overruled by AG. US Attorneys are political appointees who serve at the pleasure/displeasure of the President. Sometimes Presidents appoint career prosecutors, but they have the right to replace them as GW Bush did causing some controversy, even though it was well within his authority.

So I wouldn't be hoping too much for the any US Attorney to goo rogue...

The D.C. Circuit held in its decision that work email stored privately is still subject to Freedom of Information Act requests. The whole point of FOIA, the court said, is to provide transparency on public officials' behavior while in office. Circumventing that by hosting government documents on non-governmental servers defeats that purpose, Judge David Sentelle said.

Too bad her lawyers wiped all the servers (with a cloth...), before the FOIA information got produced.
