Was it just my imagination, or did Trump recently threaten.....

...to prosecute members of the FBI for not indicting Hillary?

Given the sad state of Trump's poll numbers the past few weeks you wouldn't expect anyone to be swayed by such threats, but is it possible that Comey's shenanigans yesterday were a cowardly CYA on his part in case Trump pulls out a miracle and wins?

from the talking heads I've been hearing. Not sure if he threatened investigation and prosecution or not, but it wouldn't surprise me.
