Former Rep. Joe Walsh (R-Ill.), a frequent critic of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton , said it was “wrong & unfair” for FBI Director James Comey to write a letter to Congress about newly discovered emails pertaining to Clinton so close to Election Day.

Politics aside, James Comey has screwed this thing up from the get go. He wrongly let her off in July & he wrongly stuck it to her Friday.

Look, I think Comey should have said prosecute her back in July. But what he just did 11 days b4 the election is wrong & unfair to Hillary.

U may hate me, but I'll always say what I believe. I want Trump to win, but what Comey just did to Hillary Is wrong & really unfair to her.

Walsh is no fan of Clinton, having just days ago encouraged protests and acts of civil disobedience “to get our country back” if Clinton wins the presidency.

Comey’s move has prompted criticism from people on both sides of the aisle as well as government officials and former prosecutors. Many have called for Comey to release more information, including whether he’s even seen the emails in question, which came from a computer owned by former Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) ― who is currently under investigation for allegedly sexting with a minor ― and his estranged wife, Clinton aide Huma Abedin.
