BREAKING>>FBI Director Comey says agency won’t recommend charges over Clinton email

[sinkspur]

I don't think so. I think he played this perfectly. He fed the Trumper fantasy that Clinton would be going to jail at any moment. At the same time he set up the narrative that Clinton had been investigated once again and found to be innocent.

That is true.  But the proximity to the election certainly influenced a some number of votes and will now influence others. 

That's a blatant interference and should never happen.

[sinkspur]

What reports?

I asked that an hour ago.  She said "Google it."

[Hoodat]

I asked that an hour ago.  She said "Google it."

Good grief, that is just like arguing with liberals.  Oh, wait .  .  .

[sinkspur]

And hillary and Sinkspur thought Comey was the devil...


A lot can change in the 24 hour news cycle.

I still think Comey had no business injecting himself into the political process.  The FBI has NEVER done this, so close to an election, and this will be what Comey is identified with in the history books.

Now he looks even sillier, absolving Hillary in a rushed perusal of her emails.

[Blizzardnh]

My conscience is clear.

I voted for Evan McMullin.

They went through all 600k plus emails already?.....yeah right.

@mystery-ak

Those 600k+ Weiner's emails were in the cloud and went back for years before Clinton was at the state department.  The FBI didn't have to search those from numerous years ago.  The FBI was looking at those for the years Clinton was Secretary of State.

[Victoria33]

What did I tell ya..it was going to be Sunday..just enough time for the word to get out...if Trump has anything now is the time to release it.

@mystery-ak

I don't think this late letter will help Clinton any - it is too late for the word to get to voters.  Men are watching football today and tomorrow is another day at work for both men and women, as is Tuesday.

This letter also doesn't stop the investigation of the Clinton Foundation.

[aligncare]

I imagine Comey saying something like this when it was made clear to him he would be springing Hillary:

“Listen. I'll have you know I cannot be bought and I cannot be threatened. But, put the two together and I’m your man.”

I agree. Comey wasn't going to do anything before the election anyway.

One thing that confuses me though - there were supposed to have been tens of thousands of emails to peruse - many for the first time. How could he possibly have already determined in one week that there will be no indictment?

addendum - I see the question has already been asked - several times.

I'm trying to locate an article I read earlier that said they brought in several teams.  I also think having the e-mails in electronic form is helpful because you can do programmed word searches.

I have never been really sure how many e-mails this involved.  I saw all kinds of numbers being thrown around in the press,

Simply reading wouldn't be enough, they'd need to analyze thousands of messages as well. That would definitely take far more time. This entire thing is a complete hash.

Never heard of grep? Or a similar program?

Clinton's 60k were a problem because they were printed out and had to be read manually. Weiners - all electronic. A fast computer could have compared all 650k  with the text of the Clinton mails (in electronic form) in a few minutes to see if there were uniques in Weiner's phone/laptop.

I understand. But I had heard there were quite a number messages on Weiner's PC that had not yet been turned over and were being read by the FBI for the first time - remember Weiner's file name 'life insurance'... Perhaps that was just another unfounded rumor.

I disagree. I think voters will know this happened.  Whether it will influence anybody is another issue.  Anybody who's undecided at this point is clueless anyway.

Which is probably about 2/3 of the voting public. And I'm trying to be kind with that estimate.

NBC News reported today that most, but *not* all, of the newly-reviewed HRC-related emails were duplicates, matching CBS, Fox reporting.

No wonder the FBI could complete the search so quickly.

IMO this is what the non-hardcore left will takeaway from this latest fiasco - Washington is irredeemably, irreconcilably, irrevocably corrupt.

Anyone who believes Comey said what he said because Hillary actually ISN'T a corrupt above-the-law unindicted felon who typifies what DC has become is clueless. That die has been cast.

[sinkspur]

Predictability and consistency are as important to financial markets as policy.  Trump doesn't offer that.

I can vouch for exactly what Norm stated.

The Trump militants have indeed threatened to hunt us down with dogs, kill us in various ways for treason and make us 'pay' for our refusal to vote your prince.

I rolled my 401K into my own business, which is getting squeezed more every year thru taxation. And I'm up for a nice big tax increase after Hillary is sworn in.

Oh, I used to have a decent affordable healthcare plan too. I was dropped after the premiums nearly quadrupled.

Yessir, can hardly wait for January 20th.

Even if I did still have investments in the stock market my gains were penny ante stuff, like most of the middle class. Hardly enough to keep me from wishing the oligarchs would have to live by the same rules you and I do.

Obamacare will have to be fixed, and the GOP will have the leverage, since Hillary can't get anything through without GOP concurrence.   More GOP ideas can now be incorporated if the GOP will just do it.

This place is infested with NeverTrumpers. 

@aligncare
@mystery-ak

aligncare, you should speak with mystery-ak if you think this place is "infested" with those of us who are not voting for Trump.  An infestation suggests you want the infestation removed.  Perhaps myst could kick all of us off TBR so your group could have it to yourselves. 

However, there is a safe room for avid Trump supporters.  Perhaps you could check out that room and live there instead of here.  You see, there is no safe room for us.  We are left out here in the wild, trying to survive. 

You have a house (room) and we have nothing.  We live in tents with survival gear and search for water/food.  We huddle together when it is cold and fan each other with blades of grass when it is hot.

Alas, we have no other place to go and it appears we may have a president who doesn't care about anyone except himself.  Our future looks dim but we will hold on and hope the future will be brighter for all across the land.  We are hopeful mystery-ak will allow us to remain here.

It showcased Trump's mob was full of vengeance-seeking thug bullies scared to death of a frail woman to the Left of Lenin.  Those threats on social media and on boards like TOS are what pushed me from reluctant to NeverTrump.

Obamacare is failing.  Does the GOP let it fail, then pick up the pieces?  Or does it become the party that fixed healthcare so that can be the major achievement in 2018?

It'd be pretty easy to have a computer run a search program to weed out all emails in that 600,000 that already match what they already have.

That'd reduce the number quite a bit.

Well - if I were running it, I'd pull the pool of emails with Clinton's address in them. Run a text search with those we already had to eliminate duplicates. Manually read and analyse the residue - uniques and false uniques. You'd not be looking at many. Couple hundred, tops.

Of course, that's just the emails Clinton is directly involved in. Emails between third parties NOT sent to Clinton but talking about her will probably still be hidden away in there and wouldn't be captured by my method. Those will trickle out over the next couple years.
