Yeah, but that was after all this was already in the works.
From what I remember, Hunter's laptop made its first appearance. Comey had already shut down the investigation, and he needed an excuse to reopen it, so he could get his hands on the computer "to investigate," and then he shut down the investigation again.
Don't know exactly why he did the TV appearance like he did, but I don't think that started the fake Russia stories. It goes back at least to the DNC server hacks, which were earlier in 2016, and they tried to blame that on Russia.
I think it was Weiner's laptop that was the problem,with several hundred thousand newly found emails surfacing after Comey cleared Clinton in July. So his hand was forced.
