There is no love lost between the Bureau and the Clintons. The Bureau still thinks the Clintons beat them in the 1990s over Whitewater - and they still are still ticked about it. Even though an indictment was drawn up naming Hillary, it was never presented to a grand jury because Linda McDougall refused to testify and Hillary hid the documentary evidence in the White House residence. (They were found a few weeks after the statute of limitations ran out.) Heck, relations between the Bureau and the Clinton administration was so bad that then-FBI DIrector Louie Freeh turned in his White House pass just so that every time he went there, he had to sign in as a visitor (thus creating a record).
Fast forward to July 2016: For now-Director Jim Comey to come out and declare what he did about Hillary and her server was unheard of. As a rule, when the Bureau decides not to pursue prosecution, by policy the matter is sealed, that is, not public and not subject to FOIA. That he came out (twice) and call her incompetent, extremely careless and, essentially, a liar is unprecedented. Think about it: When was the last time you heard the FBI Director come out and publicly smear a Mafia boss who they didn't have enough to prosecute? Never - but he did it to her. (And all us retired agents applauded...)
The problem with someone coming forward and telling what they know about the Clintons is that you can count on a couple hands all of the people who do have truly inside knowledge of how they do things and what their true motivation is. Most of us read the papers or listen to the electronic media and think, isn't that obvious? Why isn't the Bureau arresting them? The answer is because no one with truly inside information and admissible evidence has yet come in. One of the reasons she got off on the email thing was that her closest co-conspirator, Cheryl Mills, then her Chief of Staff, is an attorney. Hillary subsequently hired her as her personal attorney, thus triggering the attorney-client privilege. Mills can't testify against Hillary, or even be questioned about communications between herself and Hillary.
If I actually had real, original evidence against the Clintons, I would go to the Bureau's Washington Field Office. They would love nothing better than to nail the Clintons.
No, because so many that have been prosecutors say Comey had a great case and wouldn't do his job. Even lower level FBI now are dejected over his actions to make the FBI a political football. That has never happened before and it's ugly.
It is regrettable but, if he knew our political hack AG would never indict, I don't know if I can fault him for not falling on the sword.

I was reading an article today from a conservative source of unknown credibility that Comey has been giving state AG offices any evidence he has on the Clinton Foundation that involves state crimes.

Well that sure sounds like solid information to me
