It never ends - because it shouldn't end, at least until it has legally run it's course, and not rushed or helped along. Everyone in the universe knows there was wrongdoing done here.
I don't know exactly what took place with Comey, and what he wrote or why. But there's no doubt in my mind that it should be looked into. It wasn't finished to begin with.
I don't care much about Comey, even though that is what is spurring the latest desire to investigate. Fact is, it was blaringly and obviously illegal to begin with, and confidential things were tossed around, and Hillary acted like she was clueless, when in reality she simply thought she was God and could do whatever she pleases.

The case for a special counsel to investigate Hillary Clinton
America tried to let Hillary Clinton off the hook. Despite cries of “lock her up” during the campaign, most of the nation had little appetite for prosecuting her after the election, with even Donald Trump willing to give her a free pass.
“I don’t want to hurt the Clintons, I really don’t,” Trump told The New York Times two weeks after his victory. “She went through a lot and suffered greatly in many different ways.”
But the Clinton e-mail scandal, like Clinton herself, won’t go away. It remains a blot on the legacy of the Obama administration, the Justice Department and the FBI, and now comes fresh evidence that the investigation that cleared her was a total sham.
The revelation from the Senate Judiciary Committee that J. Edgar Comey drafted his statement exonerating her about two months before FBI agents interviewed Clinton or 16 other witnesses confirms suspicions that the probe was neither honest nor thorough. When the outcome is decided long before the investigation is over, the result can’t be trusted.
Imagine a baseball game where the final score is decided before the players take the field. What’s the point of playing the game, and why should spectators trust anyone involved?
So it is with the FBI probe of Clinton. The new evidence, Trump said in a tweet, is proof of a “rigged system!” There is no better way to describe it.
There is only one possible cure for this kind of rot — a special counsel charged with reopening the Clinton e-mail case and the actions of Comey and Attorney General Loretta Lynch.
Two dozen House Republicans demanded a special counsel in July, and the chorus is certain to grow because of testimony showing Comey made his decision long before the probe ended.
The testimony came from two top officials under Comey when he headed the FBI, one of them his chief of staff, Jim Rybicki. It was made during an internal probe of Comey’s conduct, which was stopped when Trump fired him in May.
