From that Isikoff piece:
“agents had not been able to review any of the material, because the bureau had not yet gotten a search warrant to read them, three government officials who have been briefed on the probe told Yahoo News.”
I’m guessing the “three government officials” are DOJ lawyers and not FBI people.

This could tell us what happened. Comey was stonewalled by Lynch who refused to ask for a warrant.
So he went to Congress.
