Washington - Arab Today
The relationship between FBI Director James Comey and Hillary Clinton was never going to be tension-free.
At least not when the FBI had conducted an election-year criminal investigation into her e-mail practices.
And then on Friday, Comey told Congress that FBI agents would review new e-mails that may be connected to that dormant investigation.
That development is reviving questions about how Clinton, if elected president, would coexist with the independent-minded FBI head.
Comey has shown a willingness to break with the White House and has been critical of her handling of sensitive information.
The FBI director is appointed to 10-year terms, to avoid any appearance of political influence. Comey took over in September 2013, meaning he still would be on the job if Clinton is sworn into office in January.
