Comey made his name on the likes of Martha Stewart and Scooter Libby. Ahmed Karzai was a far more serious outing and violation of Special Access Program classified information.

Letter by Comey authorizing special counsel versus Libby: "By the authority vested in the Attorney General by law, including 28 U. S .C. §§ 509,510, and 515, and in my capacity as Acting Attorney General pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 3 508, I hereby delegate to you all the authority of the Attorney General with respect to the Department's investigation into the alleged unauthorized disclosure of a CIA employee's identity, and I direct you to exercise that authority as Special Counsel independent of the supervision or control of any officer of the Department."

The death of Aghan president's brother, Ahmed Karzai, a reported CIA contact outed by Clinton's emails. This is an account of the impact of Hillary's disclosures versus those of Stewart Libby: (see http://legalinsurrection.com/2016/02/report-hillary-unsecured-email-had-info-on-cia-afghan-agent/

Now we are getting some insight. Catherine Herridge from Fox News reports, Clinton email chain discussed Afghan national’s CIA ties, official says:

One of the classified email chains discovered on Hillary Clinton’s personal unsecured server discussed an Afghan national’s ties to the CIA and a report that he was on the agency’s payroll, a U.S. government official with knowledge of the document told Fox News.
The discussion of a foreign national working with the U.S. government raises security implications – an executive order signed by President Obama said unauthorized disclosures are “presumed to cause damage to the national security.”
The U.S. government official said the Clinton email exchange, which referred to a New York Times report, was among 29 classified emails recently provided to congressional committees with specific clearances to review them. In that batch were 22 “top secret” exchanges deemed too damaging to national security to release.

It’s unclear that Hillary directly exposed the agent’s name, but such sloppy practices potentially exposed the information for foreign intelligence agencies:

Based on the timing and other details, the email chain likely refers to either an October 2009 Times story that identified Afghan national Ahmed Wali Karzai, the half-brother of then-Afghan president Hamid Karzai, as a person who received “regular payments from the Central Intelligence Agency” — or an August 2010 Times story that identified Karzai aide Mohammed Zia Salehi as being on the CIA payroll. Ahmed Wali Karzai was murdered during a 2011 shoot-out, a killing later claimed by the Taliban.
Fox News was told the email chain included then-Secretary of State Clinton and then-special envoy to Afghanistan and Pakistan Richard Holbrooke and possibly others. The basic details of this email exchange were backed up to Fox News by a separate U.S. government source who was not authorized to speak on the record.

Thanks for those details, dear Brother. I was unaware of Comey's connection to these questionable cases. I am now fully disabused as to my former notions of the man's true character. He has made it crystal clear that, as George Orwell put it, he believes that "all the animals are equals; it's just that some animals are more equal than others." Or words to that effect.

thats exactly why representative Hurd was so rightfully upset.
