Reuters: White House says FBI director not trying to influence election
President Barack Obama believes FBI Director James Comey is a man of integrity and is not trying to influence the U.S. presidential election by announcing scrutiny of additional emails linked to Democrat Hillary Clinton's private server, the White House said on Monday.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest also said he has no "independent knowledge" of how Comey had arrived at his decision to make public the FBI email investigation or "what factors were considered" in his decision to discuss the issue publicly.

Comey would not be opening this investigation unless there was something to look at. The Police agencies are very mindful of their political masters and never go after them unless they have real evidence, I would conclude that, they have the goods on Clinton, they would not be doing this otherwise, considering the person they are going after, and the stakes involved.
