General Discussion

That was really more his wife's fault. She used a computer he also used to access HRC's email because she worked for her. The FBI got access to all his devices because of his sending inappropriate messages to a minor. The Clinton emails were found. I am shocked Clinton did not have practices in place where Huma would not have used a shared computer.

This caused Comey to reopen the case because he wanted those emails checked out. They all were in fact duplicates of what they had.

Both of them did something wrong.
The Clinton emails should only have been downloaded to a private work device used just by Huma. Obviously, he committed a crime that was despicable and it made sense the FBI had to check his devices.

However, Comey did not need to announce he reopened the case, just as he did not mention the case opened on Trump and Russia. He has explained he did so as allies in NY of Guilliani intended to leak this. A pretty strange argument. As it was about 2 weeks later they closed the case again. They could have not announced and checked things. If it did leak, they could have explained they were looking at it or had looked at it and there was nothing there.
