The FBI's much-trumpeted new scrutiny of emails related to Hillary Clinton has turned up nothing that would cause the bureau to recommend charges against her, the bureau's director, James B. Comey, has told Congress. "During that process, we have reviewed all of the communications that were to or from Hillary Clinton while she was secretary of State," Comey wrote. "Based on our review, we have not changed our conclusions that we expressed in July with respect to Secretary Clinton." In July, Comey sharply criticized Clinton for being "careless" in handling classified materials but said there was no basis for bringing any criminal charge against her. But the fact that Comey is a Republican — coupled with a seeming deluge of leaks damaging to Clinton from current or former FBI agents in recent days — has caused concern among many Democrats.
