Correction: After publication of this story, the Justice Department and Commerce Department inspector general revealed additional information to indicate the declination to prosecute took place during the Trump administration. This story has been corrected to note this information.

Dont know if that means Garland or other might review that decision for possibal reversal or not, but quite a ton of shit tossed on him for a significant misunderstanding.
