So much so that he wrote a defensive two-page memo to FBI employees Wednesday, saying the bureau acted with integrity, Vice News reports.

Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) released its investigation details on last Friday that has posed serious doubts over Hillary Clinton’s credibility as the former secretary of State and could easily turn out to be the sole reason to blame if Clinton loses November election.
Another critic is House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), who said in a radio interview Tuesday that the Friday email release was “such a patently political move”. We don’t play games’.
Clinton’s emails were deleted weeks after The New York Times published its report revealing that she had used a private email server, which she kept at her Chappaqua, New York home, to conduct official State Department business.
The FBI is continuing to process additional documents and more will be released, ‘no matter the day of the week, ‘ he added.
The memo, obtained by The Associated Press, was first reported by CNN.
Comey announced the FBI’s recommendation against criminal charges for Clinton and her aides in July, following a year-long investigation into the potential mishandling of classified information on her private email server.
Since the beginning of the Presidential race, Mrs. Clinton has been trying to portray Trump as a candidate not having the right temperament to handle Presidency and she is a more reliable candidate but these revelations have just taken away her reliability and credibility as well.

The release of the email by Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., came on the eve of a House Oversight hearing in which Republicans are expected to focus on Clinton’s use of a private email server and whether the State Department has been forthcoming with Freedom of Information requests. “This sort of information, which the department says Clinton both sent and received in her emails, is the only kind that must be “presumed” classified, in part to protect national security and the integrity of diplomatic interactions, according to USA regulations examined by Reuters”.
