President Obama didn’t quite throw his FBI chief under the bus — but his efforts to support the Clinton campaign’s assault on Jim Comey are still beneath the nation’s chief executive.

In an interview with an obscure outlet that would inevitably get national notice, the president dodged a question about Comey’s decision to notify Congress that the FBI’s Hillary Clinton e-mail probe has been revived thanks to possible fresh evidence.

But Obama hinted that something was off, saying: “I do think that there is a norm that when there are investigations, we don’t operate on innuendo, and we don’t operate on incomplete information, and we don’t operate on leaks.”

At minimum, that feeds Democrats’ ongoing drive to paint Comey’s move as some sort of dirty trick — rather than his clear obligation, given that he’d publicly declared the case concluded back in July.

As for “incomplete information” and “leaks”: The official line out of the Clinton camp is that the FBI should share as much information as possible — though it can’t possibly be complete yet. And all the leaks have done is add the can-you-believe-it Anthony Weiner angle to the story.

Team Hillary could have shrugged off the news last week — after all, they’ve always said there’s nothing improper to be found anywhere in any of their e-mails, so this latest batch will change nothing.

Instead, the campaign’s trying to play the victim, all but suggesting the FBI probe is rigged — and the president is playing along.

Such hysteria can only make voters suspect that even the Clinton camp believes the FBI might be onto something, after all.
