FBI Director James Comey said Monday that the agency was no rush to finish an investigation into whether classified information was mishandled on former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s email server ahead of the Democratic National Convention this summer.
Comey said during a visit to Buffalo, New York that there was no pressure to wrap up the investigation ahead of the July convention, according to the Niagara Gazette. He added that he was following the case closely “to make sure we have the resources to do it competently.”
“The urgency is to do it well and promptly,” Comey said, as quoted by the newspaper. “And ‘well’ comes first.”
Comey’s comments come after the Los Angeles Times reported last week that the FBI was reaching out to Clinton’s top aides to set up interviews, signaling that the investigation would be winding to a close soon.
Law enforcement officials have said that Clinton is not the target of the investigation. Clinton said on Sunday that the FBI had not yet contacted her about her emails.

While I imagine that there´s probably no ẗhere there, I do have to question HRC´s judgement in allowing even the hint of impropriety to enter into her time as SoS.
Except there was none. No emails on the personal server were “classified” then. QED.
“Law enforcement officials have said that Clinton is not the target of the investigation.”
Buried at the end of the Politico story of course. And won’t be mentioned by the MSM.
Even considering most time-consuming bureaucratic picayunities, Comey’s posture and crafty email release dates on this matter smell.
I really think they need to conclude this investigation post-haste, and give voters a Final Answer on whether she will be indicted for anything. I think the answer is No, but Democrats certainly deserve to Know before they nominate her.
