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

[dspNY]

I highly doubt Comey would do what he did unless they found something that may alter the course of the investigation. It just doesn't make sense otherwise, unless it was a maneuver to cover himself in case he's hailed back in front of congress for saying they had closed the investigation when in fact they have not.

I don't think he would do this just to influence the election. There are obviously a lot of rumors out there, but if any of them are true, it's horrible news for HRC.

Without a search warrant for Abedin's emails, it would be illegal to search them

Unless she or Weiner willingly handed them over, which is what some rumors are suggesting. We have no idea, but you're right about the warrant.

I expect the letter was just to cover his ass, but right now no one knows anything aside from the rumors being reported online.

Like those rumors about how she was going to get indicted?

Exactly. He sent that vague letter with pure innuendo and clear intent at this point, given the new revelation that he's withholding information on Trump's campaign due to "timing." He's being duplicitous at the least.

I don't think that it was vague. All the hype came from "reopening", but it was not Comey's word, niether his fault.

What was so vague?


But timing, yeah, it was just perfect for Trump

[rafta_rafta]

The biggest problem is that Comey didn't provide any details, I am not sure if he even had the details at the point.

He just irresponsbly threw a molotov cocktail into the race and walked away.

Had he recommended indictment back in July, then those were charges that could be disputed. Now no one has any idea what information to go on.

He literally said FBI don't know anything yet.

They discovered emails from an unrelated case

And he aggreed [with the investigative team] to review those emails

But they don't know yet if there is something significant

The only additional detail we got since the letter is that the emails are from Weiner/Huma laptop.


The letter

[mark_twain]

The latest headline at CNN is now "Thank you, Huma"

Now, we finally have an article of this story where Trump makes a fool of himself, like he usually does.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Clinton's counterattack has signs of being effective already, in countering the initial damage to her support. Now Trump's actions may actually start to backfire against him.

This election is 1972 all over again.   Hillary wins and gets indicted thus resigning at some point.

2018 Dems get slaughtered and 2020 election is a complete landslide for the "outsider" republican candidate.   The whole thing will cast shadow over Obamas legacy.

I'll put money on someone in her inner circle going down in the first year. Huma or Jake Sullivan seem like the biggest bets.

Then that means 2024 is a huge bloodbath with Kamala Harris being the new Reagan.

Can't wait for 2052 when we finally elect the first black president!

Unlike Nixon I don't believe Hillary will be has easy to convince to step down.  This could be ugly come 2018 for the dems .

I will say it again, the republicans losing this election this the best thing to ever happen to them since Ford beating out Reagan.    The dems will have no more excuses or anywhere to hide come 2020

[Meclazine for Israel]

It is interesting you say that MK, because I just was reading this:

http://edition.cnn.com/2016/10/31/politics/gary-johnson-clinton-impeachment/index.html

It's not a pleasant start to a Presidency.

That may be the case, but it still won't stop articles and editorials from being generated about it till election day.

If they do this prior to the election it's a terrible idea--even though there's nothing damaging it's self-inflicted damage by keeping the emails in the media the rest of the week instead of letting Comey and Trump attract negative attention.

[rafta_rafta]

Dump emails means to hand them over. As in a data dump

I know exactly what it means--I just don't think it's a good idea for Clinton's campaign to draw more attention to this whole situation than it's already getting--releasing them publicly would put 100% of the media coverage on Clinton the rest of the election cycle.

Agree, but it is sort of lose-lose situation. If she is not at least pretending to want to release emails, it looks bad as well. Like she is hiding something. Lose-lose.

These revelations are coming from the wikileak hacks. How is the campaign drawing attention to them?

There's nothing in them.

i am pretty sure this advisor is channeling comey's personal opinion.

and it is sooo far off and politically silly, it's a joke...
