The FBI has been party to some bullshit I am surprised nobody has mentioned the Hillary Clinton debacle it definitely comes to mind when I think back about cases that they dropped the ball on.

It was above Comey's pay grade to make that determination. I always thought the FBI was supposed to investigate, then let the DOJ do the prosecuting. Silly me.
In fairness, Comey was just covering for that corrupt Attorney General Loretta Lynch. Remember how she was caught talking to Bill Clinton in his campaign plane on the tarmac in Phoenix? She let him know the fix was in and Hillary had nothing to worry about! After her little chit-chat with Slick Willy became publicly known, she was totally compromised. So she let Comey step out of his lane and make the call for her.
Once Jim Comey made it ok for the FBI to wade deep deep deep into the partisan jungle, other agents on the 7th floor of the J. Edgar Hoover Building took notice. Operation Crossfire Hurricane was launched a few weeks later.
