The problem was that Comey neither notified Congress of his new findings, nor said what the emails were specifically about when he made the announcement. Clinton, also caught flat-footed by the announcement, called for a full release of details.
When the actual details were announced, proving it was all much ado about nothing, Comey faced stiff backlash, including accusations that a nonpartisan government agency was playing electoral shenanigans by trying to affect the outcome of the election.

Comey's "LOL JK" letter surely won't stem the tide of such accusations, though the results were released before the election. Clinton's press secretary Brian Fallon responded to the new letter on Sunday afternoon.
