Jim Jordan: FBI letter 'probably not the right thing for Comey to do'

Rep. Jim Jordan, the chairman of the House Freedom Caucus, argued Monday that FBI Director James Comey erred by announcing the reopened Clinton investigation after new emails came to light only 11 days before election day.

"I think this was probably not the right thing for Comey to do — the protocol here — to come out this close to an election, but it's consistent. This whole case has been mishandled and now it is what it is," Jordan said on Fox News. The emails were found during an investigation into former Rep. Anthony Weiner, who exchanged messages with a 15-year-old girl, and likely belong to his top Clinton aide Huma Abedin, his wife.
