The appropriate approach was to allow him to further incriminate himself.

and they set up a controlled buy with someone they believe is a lower level member of a larger conspiracy, these folks would have us believe that the law requires that person to be immediately arrested, even if it means blowing the entire operation? Nonsense. There is no requirement that evidence of a crime must be immediately acted upon, or ever acted upon for that matter.

But I would wager they will still be stupid enough to ask.

That will give Comey an opening you can drive a truck through.

It's answered fairly easily.... Comey did not report it because he believed it could hinder the investigation at that point, and that's why he chose to document it for later consideration.
