This isn't the first time Rudy has taken on that campaign role. During 2016 he was intimately involved with the New York FBI office that was suspected of being behind former FBI Director James Comey's decision to reopen the Clinton email investigation in the days before the election. According to the Department of Justice inspector general's report on the investigation, Comey told Attorney General Loretta Lynch that senior agents in the New York FBI office had a "deep and visceral hatred for Clinton" and were prepared to leak the story that new emails had been found on Anthony Weiner's laptop.
