Politically motivated to cover his ass. The GOP is already pissed at him because he chose to not bring any charges during the first investigation. If they would have found out that he'd re-opened the investigation and withheld the info from the public, instead of getting it out there as a last minute hail Mary in an effort to damage Clinton, the GOP would have burned him at the stake after the election.
This way the GOP can't point fingers at Comey if she wins. They'll still be sore at him for not pressing charges the first time but that's been old news for a while now.

Donald Trump's oft-repeated claim that the FBI's investigation of "Crooked Hillary" and the presidential election itself were and are "rigged," seems to have thrown FBI Director James Comey into a state of panic. In foolishly making a public announcement that the bureau is reviewing newly discovered emails related to Hillary Clinton's personal server, he has inserted himself yet again into the presidential campaign.
The FBI virtually never announces the commencement or termination of ongoing criminal investigations or the discovery of new evidence. Such inquiries are often conducted in relative secrecy, enabling a more efficient investigation.
It is not unusual for investigations in so-called "white collar" cases to go on for years, luring the target into an unfounded belief that he or she is in the clear. Then the hammer falls. A grand jury indictment is announced by the Department of Justice and the handcuffs are swiftly employed.
The old, sensible FBI rule book apparently has been thrown on the trash heap this year. While undoubtedly attempting to be open and "transparent," to protect the reputation of the FBI, the FBI director has tossed a Molotov cocktail into the presidential race. - legal analyst Paul Callan
