标 题: 厉害：Comey可能要被联邦政府调查

A federal agency has likely opened an investigation into FBI Director James
Comey for interfering in the presidential campaign by disclosing new
materials in the federal probe concerning Hillary Clinton’s emails.
An Office of Special Counsel (OSC) spokesman declined to address whether the
office opened an investigation in response to a complaint by Richard
Painter, a former White House ethics lawyer. However, the OSC spokesman
noted that it generally would.
“It's OSC's longstanding policy not to confirm or deny the existence of an
investigation,” spokesman Nick Schwellenbach said in an email to The Hill.
“In general, OSC opens a case after receiving a complaint."
If the office has opened an investigation into Comey, it would be just the
latest development in the long and serpentine saga of the FBI’s
investigation into Clinton’s private email setup.
On Friday, months after declaring that the bureau had closed its yearlong
probe into the former secretary of State’s bespoke setup, Comey told
Capitol Hill lawmakers that the FBI had discovered new emails that might be
relevant to the case. The news upended the presidential race less than two
weeks before Election Day.
While Clinton and her allies were particularly upset by the revelation,
many Republicans — most of whom had previously criticized the FBI for
failing to recommend an indictment of Clinton — were jubilant.
