Hillary Clinton and her aides and allies forcefully criticized FBI Director James Comey on Saturday, demanding that he release more information about the bureau’s discovery of Clinton-related emails and criticizing him for bad timing.
At a campaign rally in Daytona Beach, Florida, Clinton said it was “pretty strange” for Comey to “put something like that out with such little information right before an election,” adding: "In fact, it’s not just strange; it’s unprecedented and it is deeply troubling.”
Earlier Saturday, her two top campaign staffers, John Podesta and Robby Mook, ripped into Comey, with the former accusing the FBI chief of releasing a letter “long on innuendo and short on facts.”
“No one can separate what is true from what is not because Comey has not been forthcoming with the facts,” Podesta said, calling on Comey to release additional information beyond the cryptic letter he sent to members of Congress on Friday. He accused Comey of providing “selective information” that Republicans were using for political advantage.
