Re: Comey got 'steely silence' after confronting Loretta Lynch about Clinton's email
You do realize that document you cite is fake, right? Also he did tell Congress twice.

Your link doesn't say it's fake. It says he didn't tell Graham it was fake. Nothing I read indicates it is fake.
Headline: Graham: Comey Didn’t Tell Congress the DNC Email That Drove Him to Intervene in Clinton Investigation Was Fake
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R., S.C.) said Sunday that former FBI Director James Comey did not tell lawmakers the email that played a role in his decision to publicly intervene in the Hillary Clinton email investigation was fake, as the FBI reportedly believed.
The Washington Post reported May 24 on a Russian intelligence document the FBI obtained that purported to show a "tacit understanding between the Clinton campaign and the Justice Department" over the investigation into Clinton's email server use. The FBI, according to the report, believed the document was unreliable and possibly fake.
The document cited an email describing how then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch had privately assured "someone in the Clinton campaign that the email investigation would not push too deeply into the matter." If true, it would affect the integrity of the FBI's investigation, the Post reported:
Current and former officials have said that Comey relied on the document in making his July decision to announce on his own, without Justice Department involvement, that the investigation was over. That public announcement — in which he criticized Clinton and made extensive comments about the evidence — set in motion a chain of other FBI moves that Democrats now say helped Trump win the presidential election.
Comey said on CBS program "Face The Nation" he wanted to know if it was true that Comey was spurred by that document to make his July announcement that he would not recommend charges to the Justice Department. In that announcement, he also said Clinton was "extremely careless" with classified material.
Graham, who sits on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said he wanted Comey to testify on the matter.
"I know on two separate occasions he has told members of the House and the Senate the main reason that he jumped into the election last year and took over the job of the Attorney General was because he believed there were emails between the Democratic National Committee and the Department of Justice that compromised the Department of Justice," Graham said. "He thought that the Russians were going to release these emails. That's why he jumped in and took over Loretta Lynch's job. I want to know, is that true?"
