Everyone forgets that JASON CHAFFETZ was the scum who leaked the memo to the press, and it immediately blew up to the unintended "October surprise" that the media was waiting for.
From Wikipedia:
Chaffetz was also the first member of Congress and the only actual addressee recipient of FBI Director Comey’s confidential memo addressed to the Chairs and Ranking Members of the relevant House and Senate Committees to falsely leak that FBI Director Comey was reopening its investigation of Clinton's e-mails 11 days before the 2016 election.[156] There was nothing in Comey’s letter that indicated the case was being reopened, instead, Comey stated "bureau investigators would review some additional emails that might relate to Hillary Clinton’s email server".[156]
The fact is that Comey never intended for his memo to be seen by anyone except a few House Committee Chairs. But Comey got all the blame for what Chaffetz did.
