Let's agree that the Obama administration DoJ is unlikely to prosecute regardless of the FBI recommendation. We should also agree that there will be no "exoneration" (in fact, the State Department report is more like a plea deal than anything else -- it seems like they are basically falling on their sword in the FOIA litigation in the hope of giving Hillary a defense in the criminal investigation), but I won't hold my breath.
