FBI Director James Comey is set to appear before the House Oversight Committee Thursday amid a fierce backlash over his decision earlier this week to recommend that the Justice Department decline to pursue criminal charges against Hillary Clinton for her "extremely careless" handling of classified information.
The decision rankled Republicans and prompted four congressional leaders to pursue hearings or probes that could shed additional light on the FBI's decision.
Rep. Jason Chaffetz, chairman of the Oversight Committee, said he found Comey's announcement "surprising and confusing" given the gap between the case against Clinton he laid out and the conclusion he drew from it.
The move to end the Clinton email probe without charging anyone involved with a crime has raised many questions among skeptical observers. Here are seven that Comey could face at the oversight hearing Thursday.
