The Clinton campaign blasted FBI director James Comey for �jaw-dropping� double standards on Monday after claims that he had sought to withhold evidence of Russian support for Donald Trump for fear of influencing next week�s US election.
In a sharp escalation of their unprecedented war of words with fedteral law enforcement authorities, Clinton�s key aides contrasted this apparent caution with Comey�s controversial decision to release new details of its investigation into Clinton�s private email server to lawmakers on Friday.
�It is impossible to view this as anything less than a blatant double standard,� her campaign manager Robby Mook told reporters, claiming the decision �defied all logic�, especially as other intelligence agencies had favoured disclosure of suspected Russian involvement.
�Through these two decisions he shows he favours acting alone and without consulting � these are not the hallmarks of a responsible investigation,� added Mook.
