Where's the link? Investigations don't close until the statute of limitations runs out or there's a trial verdict. Try again.
YOU JUST FULLY AGREED THAT IT WASN'T ACTUALLY CLOSED. Crazy much?
Case did not need to be re-filed to file for warrant. PERIOD.
Yes and no. Yes, on the case wasn't actually closed.
The investigation was completed, so the letter was to explain re-opening the investigation.
No, on Comey violating the Hatch Act. This from top constitutional law experts.
Twelve facts reveal what everyone needs to know about the FBI investigation into Hillary Clinton’s email server.

12 Facts About the FBI Investigation of Hillary Clinton's Emails
- On October 3, FBI agents seized a laptop, an iPhone, and an iPad from disgraced former Congressman Anthony Weiner, as part of the investigation into a report that he was sexting a 15-year-old girl.
- While searching the laptop, FBI agents uncovered new emails that are likely connected to the agency’s investigation of Hillary Clinton’s private email server.
- The laptop was used by Anthony Weiner and his wife Huma Abedin and reportedly has 650,000 emails on it.
- Earlier in the investigation, Huma Abedin swore under oath in a deposition that she had turned over the devices that may have been used to email Clinton: two laptops, a BlackBerry, files she found in her apartment.
- Huma Abedin reportedly did not know about emails that were on the computer the FBI discovered. “The possibility that this device contains any emails of hers is news to her,” a source familiar with the investigation told CNN.
- Anthony Weiner is cooperating with the FBI’s investigation, according to Fox News anchor Bret Baier.
- FBI Director James Comey was reportedly informed about the new emails last Thursday. He notified Congress the following day.
- Comey had testified to Congress that the investigation was complete. He sent a letter on Friday to both Democrats and Republican members of Congress to clarify that the case remained open.
- Justice Department officials tried to stop James Comey from sending the letter, according to the New York Times, warning that it would be a break of longstanding policy.
- Investigators believe that some of the emails deleted from Hillary Clinton’s private server are on this laptop, according to CNN.
- Many of the emails were “either sent to or from the private email server at Mrs. Clinton’s home,” according to the Wall Street Journal.
- Officials received a court order during the weekend to investigate the emails. The process has begun, but it will take weeks, according to several sources.
Top Constitutional Law Expert: Comey Did NOT Violate Law By Announcing Email Investigation | Zero Hedge
The violation was not in announcing new evidence being considered, the violation was in announcing it within 11 days WITHOUT CLEAR EXPLANATION that no new evidence was found against Hillary at the time the letter was written.
The impression media and public received from the letter was that FBI did find some new damning evidence against Hillary and it was wrong for Comey to write it in that vague way that left so much space to false speculations at such critical time in campaign.
He didn't need to provide clear explanation nor new evidence, but only explain why the investigation was being re-opened. He did so to add to his testimony before Congress. What's even more troubling is DOJ's response to Comey's letter. Was Loretta Lynch against Comey re-opening the investigation? And what department policy was she referring to? People should be questioning her motives.

Yes he did need to provide clear explanation in light of serious political ramifications of releasing this within 11 days of election. In not doing so he did a disservice to American people and the FBI.

Love how you ask about Loretta, while there is nothing about her opposing reviewing additional information and evidence as it becomes available. Her opposition was to the letter itself.
No he didn't. He did not explain this was about Huma Albien, Clinton's aid. By re-opening a case that he had closed in July, he inferred this had something to do with Hillary Clinton's server, when it did not. He did NOT even have possession of these emails when he fired off the letter to congress.
"When FBI Director James Comey wrote his bombshell letter to Congress on Friday about newly discovered emails that were potentially “pertinent” to the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private email server, agents had not been able to review any of the material, because the bureau had not yet gotten a search warrant to read them, as three government officials who have been briefed on the probe stated.
At the time Comey wrote the letter, “he had no idea what was in the content of the emails,” one of the officials said, referring to recently discovered emails that were found on the laptop of disgraced ex-Rep. Anthony Weiner, the estranged husband of top Clinton aide Huma Abedin. Weiner is under investigation for allegedly sending illicit text messages to a 15-year-old girl."
