There is no law against political comment. There is a law against certain kinds of participation in political campaigns, but those were narrowed in the 90s - perhaps after you were in government?
My understanding is that there is a broader policy within the FBI, however, and so we're not talking about whether he violated the law but whether he violated an FBI policy.
That said, I haven't looked at anything longer than 280 characters on this.
