At the same time he was exonerating Clinton legally while damning her politically, he was investigating the Trump campaign, about which he quite properly did not say a public word. And he authorized his agents to engage a former British intelligence agent to dig up dirt on candidate Trump and to pay him $50,000 for it. The story the agent dug up was so lurid and unbelievable that the FBI declined to make the payment.
LOL Comey hired that bozo Steele who was peddling the Russia sex party crap. FBI: always up for a trivial sex scandal; forget the real crime.
