does not mean that he was not being politically partisan. He seriously called her 'reckless' for replying to 3 mislabeled emails, out of 30,000+? And of those, the little "[C]" only appeared way down, buried among the quotes from the long chain of previous contributors. Why hasn't MSNBC mentioned this in the 2 hours since the hearing ended?
Comey could have easily said - when pressed again and again - that he believed she was not aware of these three emails, and therefore was not lying when making statements about classified emails. Instead, he answered questions alluding to the fact that he would possibly fire someone who mishandled classified info in the FBI (but that was a generic comment with no specific facts), inferring that she deserved to be punished, when in actuality, anyone else how failed to read all the way down the chain before replying to an email would have just been given a warning, at worse, in this situation. Talk about partisan. The only reason he didn't recommend charges was that, try as he might, he couldn't find any instance where she broke the law. It had nothing to do with him being upstanding and apolitical.
