here is
a good link that debates this point, i got it from huffpost, not from the alt-right...the bottom line is, what alternative did comey have?

Having said all that, it’s not clear what realistic alternative Comey might have had. Imagine for a moment that the Bureau had sat on this until after the election and it then emerged that (a) the FBI had additional emails, (b) that Comey knew it had additional emails, (c) that having testified that the investigation was completed he (d) he did not authorize additional review or he did so but did not notify Congress that his earlier statements had proven incorrect. It would be a major major scandal, particularly if one or more of those emails fundamentally undermined his earlier investigative judgments.

in any case i think a rogue FBI agent woulda leaked if comey kept quiet. the truth eventually creeps out.
