Just the amount of money she was carrying, without filing the proper transfer forms, was a felony and enough for an immediate arrest.
It is not illegal to carry large sums of money when travelling. The TSA only requires it to be reported. A simple 4790 form (I believe) could be filled out and she would be on her way.
he feds and Capitol Police were told to STAND DOWN by the senior administration of the FBI and so they were forced to let her leave.
According to what source?
Wrong. Anything over $10,000.00 must be fully declared and forms filed BEFORE traveling. If discovered while you are in the airport, it is a felony arrest.
Stop apologizing for these scum.
According to the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), it is legal to travel with any amount of cash or other monetary instruments in and out of the United States. However, you must declare your cash to customs if the amount exceeds $10,000 or its foreign equivalent. If this applies to you, then fill out Customs Form 4790 (Report of International Transportation of Currency or Monetary Instruments). The airline can provide the form. Present the completed form to customs officials upon arrival at your destination, and they will walk you through the rest of the process.
Even without the claims of this fbi source, i find it curious that two of the brothers (I think thats right) and this wife were under suspicion of crimes, and yet were able to leave the country so simply.

Correct me if I am wrong, but only the wife and kids left the country.
Not sure on the brother, but I have not seen where it was stated he left the country.

I'm not apologizing for anyone. I'm trying to have a reasonable, logical convorsation. I have found this:

Like I said, the only thing they find is she has a couple grand over the legal limit. She simply agrees to fill out the form and all is good.
I would not want to be the one to advocate for someone to be arrested for having a couple grand over the limit when all they would have to do is fill out a simple form.

If you notice, I updated and apologized in that post prior to you posting this, just FYI.

I'm pretty sure that if I was under suspicion of fraud and tried to leave the country with a sum of money over the limit, they wouldn't let me go just by filling out a form. There's corruption here, I'm convinced.

So, there is no evidence of an Arrest Warrant, that Comey squashed, or any evidence whatsoever that Comey "blocked" this woman's arrest, other than some "FBI source" says so? How are we sure about her carrying 12 Grand in cash again?
Just checking.
There was or is an accusation of bank fraud which maybe how that money was obtained.
It is supposed to have involved over two hundred thousand so a significant fraud if ever proved.
Any amount over ten thousand must be reported immediately by the bank which is why most people make more then one withdrawal but this is also considered illegal.
And she would need to declare any amount over ten thousand before boarding any aircraft so a declaration after landing in another country would not suffice.

That is the only requirement. To fill out the proper form.
Perhaps you suggest we should take a more authoritarian approach and arrest people for whatever reason, while violating their rights in the process?
Technically, you're right. But, I'm saying that leaving the country while under federal suspicion, you won't be allowed to board an airplane to a foreign land.
It's not like driving to another state in the union. Once you're out of the country, that's it. Suspects can't just leave on free will unless they don't get caught. Why do you think criminals cross the border to Mexico? They know the feds can't touch them.
