The rest may or may not be true.  We don't know what the contents of that hard drive were.  Neither do they, really, the chain of custody is very questionable.

You have absolutely no way of knowing how much the FBI does or doesn't know about the hard drive.  The contents, though they could possibly provide proof of criminal activity, are no longer the primary issue.  The handling of the investigation, including the questionable chain of custody you referred to, should be of paramount importance to anyone who believes in impartial justice.  Unless of course, you're okay with the FBI acting as political tool.

I have no problem imagining that the FBI might be a political tool.  We see that in outher countries.
And I would be upset about it if it happened here!
But I'm having trouble understanding why you think Christopher Wray would allow the FBI to be a political tool against the man who appointed him.
I also know the history of the 2016 election.  There were allegations against Hillary, that the DC office did not wish to publicize, that the NY office decided to publicize.  So I don't understand why we don't hear of agents going rogue to expose this misconduct you allege.
