A better direct analogue may be the Bret Baier story right before the election about imminent HRC indictments.
There should have been indictments for the crimes that she committed but well you know the investigation was handled with delicate hands.

The President's tweet yesterday seemed to indicate that he was aware that Flynn had lied to the FBI when he asked Comey to let it go.
Then we hear that, supposedly, one of his lawyers drafted the tweet (typos and all).
IMO they are going to fight like hell to undermine and kill the Mueller investigation because there is no way this guy is going to be able to handle it.
Yeah - Holding these types of strong views in our highly charged political environment doesn't impair the integrity of one of the most important investigations in our nations history. Nothing at all to see here.
The type of highly qualified and intelligent people needed for such investigations would seem to be more likely to have opinions on political races. I'm sure there are Pro-Trump people at the FBI as well. Regardless, the dude was removed from Mueller's task force when they determined he might have a bias against Trump, so yay Mueller?

That's not the point? Do you think Baier should have received a similar punishment and that Fox should have been sued for damages for that inaccurate report?

This logic is ... bemusing.
“Lookit, these people did incredibly stupid things because they are incredibly smart. Plus all smart people get to completely trample over codes of professional conduct because, well, we all have opinions.”

But there weren't
Things happen. And what happened was there weren't indictments.
Do you understand the indictment process ?
Do you understand the Grand Jury process ?
I guess I should have said educated? I recognize the flaw there, but do you really doubt that the Venn Diagram of people who become top investigators in the FBI and people who closely follow politics overlaps pretty strongly?
Sure, but I think that most of those people would also recognize the conflict of interest represented by taking a pronounced political stance on a matter that they happened to be investigating. I understand your contention is that all of this was pillow talk, but if anyone should have truly known better it would be the lawyer and a freaking cointel official.
When you have avid supporters running the investigation well then you get away with things like deleting e-mails after a subpoena.
Sure, they should have known better, but it's a pretty drastic leap to go from that to suggesting the entire investigation is tainted.
Robert Mueller is not avid supporter
even if he was, he could present to the Grand Jury --- that would not turn into an indictment --- why there is a Grand Jury process to avoid the conflict of interest you suggest

Mueller wasn't the one who led the Clinton e-mail investigation. But what we've learned is that a very senior official, apparently the direct report to McCabe, was an avid supporter. Makes sense given the things HRC was able to get away with.
I stand corrected on Mueller.
Was there evidence that warranted a Grand Jury investigation ?
Then or now ?
Why hasn't the Trump DOJ sought Grand Jury ?
