The case against Comey revolves around... Andrew McCabe
Frankly I don't care what happens to Comey... I doubt if Hillary Clinton does either.
Ironically... the Trump DoJ wants to prosecute Comey for screwing over Clinton!
Details:
The initial leak: In 2016, former Deputy Director Andrew McCabe authorized an FBI official to share information with a reporter for The Wall Street Journal regarding a probe into the Clinton Foundation.
Comey's testimony: During a September 2020 hearing, Senator Ted Cruz asked Comey if he had authorized the leak. Comey stated that he stood by his prior 2017 congressional testimony, in which he had denied authorizing any leaks to the media.
McCabe's account: In a December 2020 letter to the Justice Department, Sen. Cruz wrote that McCabe had told investigators he informed Comey of the leak, and Comey approved the action after the fact. This directly contradicted Comey's testimony.

Comey was an asshole and attacked Hillary Clinton when he announced that there would be no charges on the email issue. Under DOJ rules, when the decision not to proceed is made, there is NO announcement. Comey was an asshole and held a press conference where he attacked Clinton.
This press conference was so offensive and against DOJ policy that the DOJ inspector general called Comey out.
The DOJ's inspector general agreed that Comey "violated long-standing Department practice and protocol by, among other things, criticizing Clinton’s uncharged conduct," and that Comey "usurped the authority of the Attorney General." https://oig.justice.gov/node/640
