The Hillary Clinton campaign group blasted FBI Director JAMES COMEY for blatant double standards after US media reported that he had urged against publicly accusing Russia of interfering in the US election, including alleged email hacking.
Reports quoted the FBI Director expressing concern about releasing the information due to the proximity to the election.
The statement that COMEY reportedly declined to sign off on was released by the Department of Homeland Security and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence on 7th October.
The statement quoted the US intelligence community expressing confidence that the Russian Government directed the recent compromises of emails from US persons and institutions, including from US political organizations.
It said such thefts and disclosures were intended to interfere with the US election process.
