Thank you - I was about to post this. It’s worth noting Comey reopened an email inquiry four days before the election; this was widely seen as the reason for her loss at the time.
Reminder: this was a really big deal to people.
Investigation was closed shortly thereafter; he said in interviews at the time he was unhappy with Bill; I vaguely remember a clandestine meeting at a private jet fbo.
I’ve always imagined there was a little bit of payback from Obama in this story: the Clintons absolutely did not open up resources for Barack in his first term, and it cost him a lot. My head canon is like: “bury hatchet with Clintons for sec state apptment: fine. Deny Hillary a blackberry: very fine.”
