Nevertheless, Merrill continued to criticize the manner in which Comey handled the Clinton email probe:
And "maybe" he didn't need to investigate the case for all those months leading Americans to believe Hillary Clinton had done something wrong when, as he says himself, he looked at 50 years of cases and from the start knew there was nothing to prosecute. pic.twitter.com/PZhahk5joo

Comey said last night that there were hundreds of thousands of Hillary Clinton emails on the server. He said it in his Congressional testimony, it was wrong, and the record had to be corrected. Yet he asserted it again.

At the end of the day, Hillary Clinton used her own email address. No laws were broken, no one was hurt, our national security wasn't threatened. It was a a dumb mistake and a far dumber scandal, as she herself has said many times.

An Overview of Bipartisan Criticisms of James Comey
Merrill’s foregoing statements and tweets come after the release of excerpts from Comey’s book: ‘A Higher Loyalty.’ The former FBI Director has clearly expressed that he is no ally of President Trump. In various interviews, Comey has slammed the President as “morally unfit” for his current position. The FBI Director moreover accused the Commander-in-Chief of racism, misogyny, and dishonesty.
Like Merrill, conservatives are also criticizing Comey. However, their reasons vary from those of Clinton’s spokesperson. As previously stated, many Americans believe that Comey essentially let Clinton off the hook regarding the email investigation. Like President Trump, conservatives have called for the incarceration of Hillary Clinton, after learning of her deletion of 33,000 emails.
