Earlier this week, Jerome Israel said that Comey
demonstrated "wishy washiness" that damaged the reputation of the
FBI in the email scandal involving US presidential candidate
Hillary Clinton.

FBI Director James Comey is likely to resign over his handling
of the email scandal surrounding presidential candidate Hillary
Clinton, a former senior executive at the FBI told TASS Friday.
"The Director has a 10-year term. He cannot be fired," Jerome
Israel said. "But I don't think he would have been popular in
either a Clinton or Trump administration. Therefore, I think he
will resign."
Earlier this week, Israel said that Comey demonstrated "wishy
washiness" that "damaged the reputation of the FBI" while dealing
with the so-called email scandal involving US presidential
candidate Hillary Clinton.
In July, Comey announced that an FBI review found no reasons to
press any charges against Clinton, who was widely criticized for
putting sensitive and even classified information at risk by her
decision not to use secure government servers for emails. The
inquiry was reopened on October 28 only to be closed two days
before the presidential election.
The sudden u-turns in the case that shadowed Clinton’s
presidential campaign have triggered a wave of criticism from
members of the ruling Democrate party, including a veiled reproach
from outgoing President Barack Obama.
