As you know Comey sent a letter to congress, (after being advised NOT to by the Department of Justice. With their explanation that long standing protocol is that you don't make those kind of announcements within 60 days of an election). This in an effort to insure that U.S. Government agencies are not looked at, as trying to deliberately sway an outcome of an election. Comey ignored that advise and sent a very vague letter to congress, that was in effect opening a door shouting more emails, and then slamming it shut again, just 11 days before a National election.

Keep in mind that Comey is the investigator, not the prosecutor. It's his job to find and deliver evidence to the Justice Department, and it is the Justice Department's responsibility to review the evidence, and it's their decision, and their's alone to decide if they will file charges or not.
Comey may have also broken the Hatch ACT of 1939. "The Hatch Act of 1939, officially An Act to Prevent Pernicious Political Activities, is a United States federal law whose main provision prohibits employees in the executive branch of the federal government, except the president, vice-president, and certain designated high-level officials of that branch, from engaging in some forms of political activity.
Agencies and employees prohibited from engaging in partisan political activity
Employees of the following agencies (or agency components), or in the following categories, are subject to more extensive restrictions on their political activities than employees in other Departments and agencies:
Comey PROBLEM one WARNING: We know that Comey was advised against sending this vague letter to congress 11 days prior to a National Election. He did it anyway.
Justice officials warned FBI that Comey’s decision to update Congress was not consistent with department policy
Comey PROBLEM two INTENT: Comey made a statement to his aids via "email" when he was questioned about his motive for doing this that stated: "Of course, we don’t ordinarily tell Congress about ongoing investigations, but here I feel an obligation to do so given that I testified repeatedly in recent months that our investigation was completed. "I also think it would be misleading to the American people were we not to supplement the record." The last sentence being intent on intervening into a National Election to inform the American public.
