I think this sums up Comey's position really well. He wasn't trying to be overtly partisan, but since he was under so much scrutiny by Congress after not giving the verdict Republicans wanted over the emails (and even then tried to mitigate that at the time by stepping beyond norms) he felt he had to write the letter to avoid further scrutiny.
