Then FBI Director Comey began drafting Clinton statement months in advance
[The Hill] Comey began drafting Clinton statement months in advance FBI Director James Comey apparently began drafting his statement about Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server months before his July 2016 announcement that the FBI would not recommend charges, according to a document posted by the FBI Monday.

The only visible content in the posted document is an unclassified email from FBI official James Rybicki, who asks officials in mid-May to "please send any comments on this statement so we may roll it into a master doc for discussion with the Director at a future date."

Rybicki's email forwarded a redacted email from the FBI chief on May 16, 2016 with the subject line "Midyear Exam." The Comey email he forwarded was dated May 2, 2016.
Newsweek first highlighted the document's release on Monday.

Comey, however, would not publicly make his recommendation to not press charges against Clinton until July 2016. In his public statement, though, he also sharply criticized the then-Democratic presidential candidate and her colleagues for being "extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information."
