If anything, when this blows over as political malpractice by the FBI, this will motivate people to vote even more.

That won't happen before Nov. 8 though.

By the time everyone gets off work the story will be different. Will be some damage but the reality will change by that time to what is actually going on.

Then, come Monday/Tuesday I bet Clinton has something set to drop which will finish off the filth.

She'd better drop it sooner than that. By Tuesday it might be too late.

It doesn't matter if this turns out to be nothing. It doesn't matter what new facts pop up. What matters is that the media will keep talking about it. If the attention is on MUH EMAILS, she will lose votes no matter what.

The next DNC should feature the public castration of Anthony Weiner live. With an axe.

Anthony Weiner is the number 1 hashtag on twitter which is good news, I think?

Internet =/= TV.

This is part of why I'm not that concerned about Internet becoming the main news source. Nothing can be worse than TV.

@jonfavs:

After a DEFCON 1 freakout, we now know the emails in question were:

1) Not from Hillary

2) Not from her sever

3) Not from her investigation



Doesn't matter, damage is done. If the truth mattered in this campaign Trump wouldn't be polling above 30%.

The election is already basically set. This really shouldn't change much of anything in the long run. As I've said, at worst there's the 272 firewall which won't overturn over this. Just means a smaller win.

I DON'T WANT A SMALLER WIN

This should be a landslide. Anything else is a disaster for American democracy.

Ugh, Politico still not editing their headline title in line with this. I should probably switch my political news source

You're just realizing now that Politico is terrible?

...yes. I only started using them in 2015, and they actually seemed fine this year. But I should switch. CNN? Or maybe somewhere else? Idk

Read the NYT. The printed press is the only decent source left.

Even if there's no malice involved, Comey ought to be fired for his incompetence.

This is a mix of relief and pissed off beyond belief. Relief because it looks like this all about nothing, and pissed off for that very same reason.

I'm pissed off because even though there's absolutely nothing there, the media will still spin this into a GAME CHANGER/OCTOBER SURPRISE and voters will buy into it.

The future of American democracy is in danger because of an internal feud between FBI offices.

Seriously... calm. Some voters will buy into it, but nowhere near enough.

The question is if they are enough to turn what was going to be a 2008-level landslide into a mere 2012 or worse. And to put the Senate in jeopardy.

Not to be a constant prophet of doom, but... the people who might be swayed by this story don't read HuffPost.

Show me what the networks are saying, and I'll tell you if I'm worried or not.

Despite it's early irresponsible activity, CNN is tearing Comey a new one.

Oh thank God. Now I feel better.

Hopefully by tomorrow this story will fall off everybody's attention span.

Can Comey be forced out of office or compelled to resign? That would put the email business to rest once and for all.

President Obama would be well within his constitutional rights to pull a Nixon by firing Comey and instructing the FBI to drop the matter.

However, I suspect the President will conclude that won't be the best course of action he can take to help Hillary.

He should do it on November 9, though. Let the message be clear.

Again, whatever HuffPost says has no effect whatsoever.

I'm worried about CNN, NBC, CBS etc.

Did someone just cite the relative quiet on Atlas on a Saturday afternoon as a reason why this scandal should be ignored?

I can smell the fear coming off you all the way on the east coast.
You're right that most red avatars are pressed as hell, but we're mostly afraid that Clinton will win by Obama 2012 margins rather than the landslide it looked like a few days ago.

Exactly.

It's a big deal to us, but nothing you deplorables can rejoice about.

The NYT has at least two articles about this hurts Clinton. If a "respectable" paper is going with this angle, the networks must be even worse. This isn't good.

You guys realise no-one watches CNN?

Or indeed news channels in general. And the few people that do decided who they were voting for months ago.

How do most people get their news in the US? Genuinely curious.

I doubt this really has any effect besides solidifying the Republican base for Trump in states like Arizona, Georgia and Texas. Hillary will still win by 3-5 points, but it won't be a blowout.

But that's the point. It should be a blowout.
