FBI Reviewing Clinton emails news: LATEST - Emails from Weiner investigation

[Hammy]

Again, whatever HuffPost says has no effect whatsoever.

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

CNN, albeit worded less sensationally, essentially says the same.

[Oakvale]

You guys realise no-one watches CNN?

[publicunofficial]

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

"Scandal"

I can smell the fear coming off you all the way on the east coast.

So when Trump loses in a landslide, will you go back to being a somewhat bearable poster or will you just stop coming here? Because I'm fine with either?

CNN, albeit worded less sensationally, essentially says the same.

CBS says the same, emphasizing that Comey broke from long-standing practice on ongoing investigations.

NBC's main story is a fact checking what Trump said as lies.

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.

One way or the other, this thread needs to be preserved for mocking purposes

So this is becoming a story about #SlippingJimmy

Exactly.

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

[Oakvale]

What has been true all year remains true. He's not going to win. It's not going to be remotely close. Question is probably now whether Hillary can indeed carry Texas or not.

As an addendum, by far the weakest deplorable meme is the "  heh, getting nervous?" thing that gets trotted out at every available opportunity. No one is fooled.

It's been a very rough year to be a Republican, hasn't it.

I'm going back to normal after the Trumpening, yes.

[Antonio the Sixth]

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.

[Green Line]

It's going to hurt Clinton, no doubt.  The fact that people are talking about the emails is bad, even if the substance is iffy.  When the focus goes off Trump and onto Hillary, he goes up in the polls.  No reason to think this time will be different.

Hillary should still win though, but this is going to firm up Georgia and Arizona.

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.

[Green Line]

Swing voters do probably watch CNN though.  The small bipolar bunch of Americans who have inexplicably been bouncing back and forth all election.

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

Social media, tv news.  Has to be those 2.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Let's be honest, the mere fact focus in on the email thing again is bad for Hillary's campaign. I'm convinced unless something else major happens it won't change the ultimate outcome, but it will hurt. The question for how long.

Family and friends, like most of us.

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.

I'm not sure. Democrats tend to get stupidly overconfident, so little humility won't hurt... as long as it's not a whisker.

[ursulahx]

Someone on Twitter pointed out how convenient it was that Comey broke this the very next day after Chaffetz re-endorsed Trump. Which led me to think on how handy it was for Trump that the story broke on Friday lunchtime, meaning it would fester all weekend and show in the polls by Monday morning.

I'm slow to ascribe things to conspiracy, but it is all very... well, interesting...

(If we were to go down this path further, we might speculate that this rather weak bombshell might have been an attempt to bounce the Clinton campaign into dropping any more oppo that they might have, before they wanted to do it. I guess only hindsight will give us any clues on that one.)

I don't think "something else" will happen in this story, but I'm counting on "something else" happening that will distract from this. A Trump bombshell, or even something the media invents out of thin air and/or blows out of proportion to pummel him with like they've done countless times with Hillary (ex: She has pneumonia! SHE'S DOOOOOMMMEEDDDD!")

If on the off chance this is the last major event of the election, then yeah, things suddenly get very dicey.

Counterexample here.  (I try to hit a variety of sources in all parts of the political spectrum for both online and TV news.)
