Elijah Cummings weighs in.

“Frankly, I was surprised that the FBI sent this letter given how obvious it was that Republicans would immediately misconstrue and mischaracterize it. The FBI Director did explain in his letter that none of this information may even be significant, but that did not stop Republicans from hyperventilating and making wild accusations. I can understand the FBI’s concern about being attacked for not keeping Republicans informed of any possible development—no matter how small—but I believe the FBI now has an obligation to make public as much information as possible as soon as possible to eliminate any inaccuracies or confusion about these issues.”

Comey has an agenda.

At this point I must assume he is working for Putin as nothing else makes any sense.

"I can understand the FBI’s concern about being attacked for not keeping Republicans informed of any possible development." This sentence attempts to absolve Comey.
