Former FBI Director James Comey conceded in his recently released memoir that when the FBI launched its investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server the agency did not believe career prosecutors at the Justice Department would move on the case.
In the controversial book, titled A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership, Comey claims that the FBI was not “going to prejudge the result.” Yet, he immediately admits that they did just that.
Comey writes:
So although we were not going to prejudge the result, we started the Clinton investigation aware that it was unlikely to be a case that the career prosecutors at the Department of Justice would prosecute. That might change, of course, if we could find a smoking-gun email where someone in government told Secretary Clinton not to do what she was doing, or if we could prove she obstructed justice, or if she, like Petraeus, lied to us during an interview.
Comey’s justification for pre-judging the Clinton email case was to compare her to General David Petraeus, who pleaded guilty to one charge of mishandling classified information after he was accused of providing classified material to his official biographer while he served as CIA director.

He was correct.
Why is it taking this long for excerpts to be released? Is his book that long?
