If you're cherry-picking quotes, sure. But if everything that guys says is true, then also consider "Jim probably had a sense that this case was not winnable at trial... I think Jim Comey’s integrity is unquestionable, and he’s uncorruptible... He’s not a scared guy, and he’s not a kowtowing guy. He must have some reason why he thinks that it wasn’t a winnable case." The guy paints Comey as being completely above corruption, even if he might have made a mistake in focusing too much on whether this was a winnable case and not simply on whether there was enough evidence to prosecute. So if Comey is above reproach, then presumably he was telling the truth when he said that this happened without any input or consultation with the DOJ. Which makes the Lynch meeting irrelevant to yesterday's announcement.
I think you can easily argue that Comey should have recommended charges. I also think it's absurd to suggest that some big conspiracy is the only (or even most likely) explanation for Comey not recommending charges.
