uh-oh.

This is almost worst case scenario for Hillary, because there won't be enough time to complete the investigation. That means she's going to be entering election day with the cloud of a newly-reopened FBI investigation hanging over her head.  It's almost impossible for them to even fight back against it because there are no details.

I was pretty certain this thing was over, but it may not be.

Most likely got the heads up which would explain why she doesn't have scheduled events through election day.

No doubt about it.

But ... wouldn't the irony be delicious if this turns out to be Hillary's Watergate Moment?

Letter FBI Director James Comey sent to House Judiciary Committee on re-opening the investigation of #HillaryClinton's private e-mail server

It's up to the American voter now....

They have a choice:

1) Do they want a Nixon like scenario haunting capitol hill from day 1?

Or

2) Do they want a Trump University circus haunting capitol hill in 2017?

BTW, if a President is found guilty and Congress refuses to impeach, can a President pardon himself/herself?

Andrew McCarthy has long held that the FBI did not pursue charges against HRC earlier because they uncovered equally damning evidence against Barack Obama.  This has the potential of busting the dam wide open. 

Stunning.

 :thumbsup:

Probably, as we all know, Obama said he first found out about the Clinton email saga on the news like the rest of us, but indeed, he was emailing in the system under a pseudonym.

Comey is starting to Obama his pants. He sees that Trump is about to win the election. And as promised - Trump will personally see to it that Hillary will be charged and prosecuted for her crimes.

And since Comey is and has been complicit in those crimes - he's going to jail too!

This is just a lame effort to weasel out of his criminal involvements with the Clintons and their dirty money which he has stuffed in his pockets.

That's silly.  This is not going to cause those who are voting for Hillary to change their vote.   

Trump can't personally prosecute anybody.

Well, I think that might be so that she could maintain flexibility as to where to do.  But this is not good for at all.

I read the opposite.  This is just more cover to look tough when the fix has been in for a very long time.   Another long, pretend investigation will end just loke the first one.


Bizarre timing though. 2 weeks before an election he sends this email?


I don't get it.

Exactly.  If Trumpsters will still vote for an assaulter of women, Hillary voters will still vote for a doofus in handling classified info.

Exactly.  It feels better every day to be #NeverTrump, #NeverHillary.

Okay after reading it, it is a big fat nothing burger (as the Trumpsters like to say).  All it is doing is covering their own behinds (the FBI) in order to prove they are considering all new evidence.  It says nothing and will assuredly end like the other ended.  The fix is in.  Anyone who thinks there was ever a chance that Hillary would be charged with a crime has too much faith in the system.  It has been fatally corrupted by politics.

I don't think so.  He's undoubtedly smart enough to understand the tremendous political impact of writing a letter of this sort, this close to the election.  A two-week delay would be perfectly reasonable and easy to defend.  Which is to say, he doesn't do it for light and transient reasons.

As I said above, Comey doesn't write a letter like this unless the determination has already been made, that it's serious, and the scale of the "new discoveries" is significant.  And, probably, the discoveries catch Clinton or her people in flat-out lies of the sort to place them in legal jeopardy.

It's interesting to speculate about the source of the new e-mails: is it wikileaks?  Guccifer?  Somebody else?  Whatever the source or the contents, Comey sees them as admitting no delay beyond the election.

For the first time, my gut is telling me this is the high water mark of the Clinton syndicate.  I hate that feeling.  Oh, I want it to be the end.  But, it gives me expectations.  Hopeful expectations.  When I have expectations, I get disappointed.  $hit.

Or he may be getting giddy at the prospect that her electors may vote for him if she doesn't qualify via dropping out or some criminal issue.

It hasn't happened before, but in theory, yes. Consider it a form of sovereign immunity.

It will damage her. It did last time.


Maybe not enough to win, but it will damage her. I'll bet anything.


Of course, depends on what comes out about Trump.

I posit that it's all (this latest announcement of reopening the "case") just another distraction and deflection.  Yeah, Rush.  I'm the cynic.  And none of this will negatively impact the Hillary campaign enough to result in a Clinton loss....

unfortunately.

Wouldn't surprise me if Obama already has a pardon ready for her... to be signed on his last day in office.

If the FBI is serious about looking further down this rabbit hole at some point they are going to find the POTUS and he can't let that happen.

Whatever the left has on Trump, they'll have to drop it tonight.........

I was thinking today but they might wait until the beginning of the week to have maximum pre-election damage.  I'm certain they're going to drop some kind of major bomb.
