FBI Director James Comey Says Hillary Clinton Case Closed

FBI Director James Comey is full of surprises ... after multiple reports the agency would not be able to release its findings on the newly-discovered Hillary Clinton emails, he sent a letter to Congress Sunday saying the FBI has reviewed everything and the conclusions are the same ... i.e., Hillary didn't commit a crime.

Comey told Congress, "Based on our review, we have not changed our conclusion that we expressed in July with respect to Secretary Clinton." The FBI director had harsh words for Hillary ... saying she was careless, but the conduct did not rise to the level of a criminal offense.

The new emails surfaced in connection with an investigation into Anthony Weiner, where thousands of Hillary's emails were discovered on his computer. Weiner's estranged wife is Clinton's right hand woman, Huma Abedin.
