Thoughtt of this, don't know if it's exculpatory for Comey, but it might have been my take had I been in his shoes;
he was faced with possibly being a solitary individual with the power to (possibly) veto a president, something someone who believes strongly in democracy might be loathe to do.
Hence his use of accurate synonyms to describe Hillary's actions, but since they are synonyms, he has an 'out' for reaching his conclusion, but nevertheless, they are accurate synonyms for the precise wording that would have resulted in an opposite recommend from him.
He's put it in the voters laps, we have all we need to either vote our conscience or vote our politics.
I'd hope perhaps if I realized beforehand it's up to me to select, on behalf of everyone else, 2 profoundly different timelines, I might 'punt' too, let the people decide, fuck my oath, this is where I draw the line.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
