Why did Comey Make His Statement About Hillary E-mails?

I have not really followed all of this bullshite, but it seems clear to me that Comey was biased against Trump. What I don't have is an answer for why, given his bias, he came out with his statement about Hillary's emails on the eve of the election.
I know some of you guys have followed this closely and I thought maybe you could at least give me a theory.
Also, I know enough to know that the scope of the OIG investigation did not include the handling of the muh Russian collusion investigation, but from what I know it sounded like the OIG indicated that there was plenty reason for concern there.
Is there a separate OIG investigation planned/underway on that? Or, is Jordan going to take the ball and run with that?

He's not biased.
You got it wrong.
That's trumpkin propaganda.
Comey handed the election to trump with the 2nd press release.

He is a drama queen, saw the spotlight and did a dance.

At that time the polls were showing Hillary with a comfortable, even commanding advantage. This led to a giant miscalculation on Comey's part.... he believed that by publicly reopening the investigation he would be perceived, along with the FBI, as unbiased and objective.
I believe his plan was to conclude the investigation,for a second time, shortly before Clinton took office, clearing her of all wrongdoing with a rubber stamp by the justice department...... you've got to remember at the time almost no one believed Trump had a chance in hell of pulling it out

Hillary violated the law. If you are going to exonerate someone for so clearly violating the letter of the law, you can't simply say "not guilty" and walk away. There would be expected blowback and outrage. A lot of that would be directed at Hillary.
They had to disarm the "matter". They couldn't just leave legal statutes as the only context to form public opinion.....that would not work out well for Hillary.
They had to throw mud in the water, cloud the issue with strong affirmative statements and then follow it up by misapplying standards of the law knowing that media sycophants would carry the water.
If you muddy the water enough, those that would argue against it have to do so point by point with the media echo chamber working against you. The public quickly loses interest in the details and simply accept it as something that they've become accustomed to in Washington. Politics and process as usual. It becomes a wash. No visceral outrage, time to move on and accept it.
The only reason they reopened the investigation is because the NYPD called the FBI asking why they hadn't filed their warrants on the laptop, why they were sitting on it. Several whistleblowers had also approached members of congress telling them that tens of thousand of new Hillary emails had been found on a laptop and the FBI was sitting on it. The FBI had every intention of keeping it a secret until after the election......they waited several months until their hand was forced.

The story got too big to hold under wraps and it was gonna leak.
They figured the best course of action was to come clean.

It was all about controlling her / leverage once she was president. He wasn’t going to open an investigation on a sitting president so he needed to do it before she become president. He knew there was no way she would lose — fortunately for America, Comey the media and all the other douchbag tard libs were wrong. In hindsight there was no way MAGA was going to lose.

Devin Nunes admitted last night that they knew a month prior to Comey announcing the reopening due to an FBI member bringing them that information. If HRC was elected, the Republicans could have held that over her and the FBI. Comey knew it was going to break and thus wanted to pretend they were looking into it, rather than leaving that potentially hazardous loose end

Comey knew Hill should have been charged but he did not want to be exposed. Comey conducted FBI business on his personal electronic devices which is against policy.
We believed Comey was by the book but he was rogue. How could Comey charge Hill when he was doing the same as Clinton.

To exonerate her so she could be in the clear to be POTUS. That's why. I mean, how is that not obvious?

This. If you remember there were something like thousands and thousands of emails to review (over the course of a couple days) and the resident bootlickers here trotted out some shite about software that could scrub thousands of emails an hour. The whole thing was a fix

Because the NYPD took Weiner’s Laptop in the pedo investigation and found Hilary Clinto emails on it. Since Comey had previously said that no such errant emails existed, he was forced to reopen the Clinton investigation in order to save some credibility. He then closed it 2 days later because, nothing to see here folks.

Simple answer is he never in a million years thought Hillary would lose

Internal polling was showing that she was vulnerable. Because Trump was pounding her in debates about being crooked, going to jail, etc. Crowds were chanting "Lock her up". The DOJ was just going to ride it out because they saw her as winning
Comey had to go public and announce that she WOOULD NOT be charged. He was then forced a second time to repeat that, due to the Weiner situation
It was his only way of protecting Hillary from rumors and innuendo

He thought Hillary was going to win easily. He thought the announcement would take away his guilt of knowing about the Clinton tarmac meeting.
