I don't think Comey was 'caught', he was simply doing what he was told to do, which in this case I think was to serve warning to Hillary that she is now a 'kept' woman and will need to follow the continuing game plan of the 'deep state'.
This seems like an odd thing for the deep state to do... I mean it's not like Hilary has shown indications of acting with conscience or in defiance in any way right? That's less than what Trump threatens, but he's received less harassment from the FBI. I suppose they still intend to train him, if it turns out he gets in.

Quite the opposite. If you note, most presidents in the past were more or less 'nobody' before coming on the scene. For sure, most were members of the wealthy class, brought up in that rarefied atmosphere far from the little people, but they weren't political big wigs or insiders. As such, they were very happy to just "be president" and play the role, taking their cues from long term advisers and policy experts that had been around for a long time (many still are). Hillary, on the other hand, is a long term political insider and a former Sec. of State. In that latter position she appears to have attempted to run her own foreign policy. So for Hillary, the idea that she would just "be president" is probably the last thing on her mind, she probably intends to leverage the full power of the presidency as "commander in chief", you can imagine the nightmare that would be, and not just for the US and the world but so many policy makers etc. But still, she has a lot of the right skillz, being a psycho warmonger, she just needs to understand that she has bosses and she's meant to follow their game plan.
From this perspective, the FBI antics over the last couple of weeks can be seen as a warning or demonstration to her. I call BS on the FBI claim that they "found new emails". They always had those emails, including those that contain seriously incriminating evidence against her that would, without doubt, end her career. So the demonstration by the FBI was to make Hillary and Co. painfully aware of the fact that the people for whom the FBI works, can give and can take away, and that she is in no position to call any shots.
The message being: "See what Comey just did? Stay in line or, at any time, we can decide to do that again and release the evidence that will bring you down."
