I think they declined to prosecute for perjury (and for McCabe and Comey) because there is so much more that is in the works.
If that's true, they're as dumb as they are spineless. One charge / conviction or acquittal does not come packaged with immunity from being prosecuted for other discovered illegal actions. [ Unless you're handing out immunity deals like party favors like just a couple years ago to the likes of Cheryl Mills. And Heather Samuelson. And Bryan Pagliano. And John Benton. Gee...what do they all have in common? ]
Imagine the long playing LP /CD Clapper would be singing if he had been charged and found guilty, and actually was convinced he was headed to jail. Imagine......"it's easy if you try".

But Grassley’s staff has now obtained a sworn affidavit from an FBI agent that directly contradicts the former director’s assurance. The agent testified under penalty of perjury that the Clinton email case did not address the destruction of federal records, Grassley said.
The longtime Senate chairman went to the Senate floor before the holidays to raise another concern: the FBI did not pursue criminal charges when Clinton’s email archives were permanently deleted from her private server days after a subpoena for them was issued by a congressional committee investigating the 2012 attack on the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi.
The deletion occurred on the same day Clinton’s former chief of staff and her lawyer had a call with the computer firm that handled the erasure using an anti-recovery software called BleachBit, Grassley said.
“You have a conference call with Secretary Clinton’s attorneys on March 31, 2015, and on that very same day her emails are deleted by someone who was on that conference call using special BleachBit software,” Grassley said. “The emails were State Department records under subpoena by Congress.
“What did the FBI do to investigate this apparent obstruction?” Grassley asked. “According to affidavits filed in federal court — absolutely nothing."
Republicans on key congressional committees say they have uncovered new irregularities and contradictions inside the FBI’s probe of Hillary Clinton’s email server.For the first time, investigators …
