Priebus is correct, in that Trump can not prosecute, but the AG can, and the FBI can investigate. Trump will not stop them.
I actually fill sorry for the Saucier family, as did the Judge who had to sentence her son. However, the Judge upheld the law, whereas Lynch spat upon it. Comey can not prosecute anyone, and his words do not matter. Nobody seemed to have noticed, but Lynch could have taken the findings of the investigation, and gave that to a Grand Jury. She refused to do so and stayed quiet. Lynch is the only one who can decide whether to prosecute, not Comey. Comey can state that there will be no prosecution until he is blue in the face, yet there still be one. Comey is the investigative arm, not the prosecutorial. Lynch is, in effect, Comey's boss.
My guess is one of two things. When Trump is sworn in, Hillary will be indicted, or she will not, and Trump will pardon Saucier's son, along with a handful of others. The pardon will expunge his record. Either needs done right after January 20th.
