Comey will be strung up by his heels a la Il Duce if he does this - by both parties and both campaigns. He better have something because nobody will be amused if it turns out to be another “nothing to see here, folks” move.

Just read something that makes me think you are correct. The investigation into Anthony Weiner that led to the discovery of these emails is being run by the US Attorney's office (DOJ) in New York, which turned the evidence over to the FBI. Therefore, that (non-FBI agency) has seen the evidence and probably has copies of it. Therefore, it may not be possible for Comey to “bury” anything in the long run. I don't trust Comey, but he may not have all that much control about how this particular phase of the investigation plays out.
