A look at FBI director Comey’s decisions in the Clinton email case
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton speaks at a news conference at Theodore Roosevelt High School in Des Moines, Iowa, Friday, Oct. 28, 2016. The FBI dropped what amounts to a political bomb on the Clinton campaign on Friday when it announced it was investigating whether new emails involving the Democratic presidential nominee contain classified information.
WASHINGTON >> The FBI’s announcement that it recently came upon new emails possibly pertinent to the Hillary Clinton email investigation raised more questions than answers.
FBI Director James Comey said in a letter to Congress on Friday that the bureau had discovered the emails while pursuing an unrelated case and would review whether they were classified.
The announcement, vague in details, immediately drew both criticism and praise to Comey himself. Some questions and answers:
___
Q: WHERE DID THE EMAILS COME FROM?
A: The emails emerged during a separate criminal sexting investigation into former Rep. Anthony Weiner, estranged husband of Huma Abedin, one of Clinton’s closest aides, a U.S. official with knowledge of the matter told The Associated Press. The official was not authorized to speak publicly about the investigation and discussed the matter on condition of anonymity.
Federal authorities are investigating communications between Weiner, a New York Democrat, and a 15-year-old girl.
It was not clear from Comey who sent or received the emails or what they were about.
___
Q: WHY IS THIS COMING OUT SO CLOSE TO THE ELECTION?
A: Apparently because the emails were found very recently. In his letter to Congress, Comey said he had been briefed only Thursday by investigators.
Releasing the letter opened Comey to partisan criticism that he was dropping a significant development too close to an election. But keeping it under wraps until after Nov. 8 would surely have led to criticism that he was sitting on major news until after the election.
Comey has said there are no easy decisions on timing in the case. In an internal email sent Friday to FBI employees, he said he was trying to strike a balance between keeping Congress and the public informed and not creating a misleading impression, given that the emails’ significance is not yet known.
“In trying to strike that balance, in a brief letter and in the middle of an election season, there is significant risk of being misunderstood,” he wrote.
Upon learning of Comey’s intention to send lawmakers the letter, Justice Department officials conveyed disapproval and advised the FBI against it, according to a government official familiar with the conversations who was not authorized to discuss the matter by name and spoke on condition of anonymity.
Department leaders were concerned that the letter would be inconsistent with department policy meant to avoid the appearance of prosecutorial interference or meddling in elections, the official said.
___
Q: IS THE DISCLOSURE STANDARD FOR THE FBI?
A: No, but neither was the Clinton email investigation.
In a nod to the extraordinary nature of an election-year probe into a presidential candidate, Comey promised extraordinary transparency as he announced the investigation’s conclusion in July.
“I am going to include more detail about our process than I ordinarily would, because I think the American people deserve those details in a case of intense public interest,” Comey said at the unusual news conference where he announced the FBI would not recommend criminal charges against Clinton.
Since then, the FBI has periodically released investigative files — that is, summaries of witnesses who were interviewed. Those materials aren’t typically public.
Comey, a former Republican who is not registered with a political party, has served in government under both Democratic and Republican administrations and speaks repeatedly about the need for the FBI to be accountable to the public.
His letter Friday seemed in keeping with a statement he made to Congress last month, that although the FBI had concluded its investigation, “we would certainly look at any new and substantial information” that emerged.
___
Q: BUT WHY WAS THE LETTER SO VAGUE?
A: For one thing, the FBI avoids publicly discussing ongoing criminal investigations, or even confirming it has one open.
It also appears the FBI isn’t sure what it has. Comey said the FBI cannot yet assess whether the material is significant, or how long it would take to complete the additional work.
Nevertheless, the letter’s vagueness was immediately seized upon by critics as unacceptable and leaving the public in the dark.
____
Q: WHAT HAPPENS NOW? DOES THIS INCREASE THE LIKELIHOOD THAT SOMEONE COULD BE CHARGED?
A: The FBI will review the emails to see if they were classified and were improperly handled.
It’s impossible to say if anyone is in greater jeopardy than before.
The FBI announced in July that scores of emails from Clinton’s server contained information that was classified at the time it was sent or received. So, new emails determined as classified might do nothing to change the legal risk for anyone who sent them.
Comey said in July that the FBI had found no evidence of intentional or willful mishandling of classified information, of efforts to obstruct justice or of the deliberate exposure of government secrets. Those were elements that Comey suggested were needed to make a criminal case.
Nothing in the letter appears to change that standard.

This proves one thing: The system is rigged—against Hillary! This insubstantial (regarding Clinton) reopening will reveal nothing new or incriminating against the Democratic candidate. It’ll just show what a pervert Weiner is. However, the timing is designed to give desperate Republicans an excuse to bring up old criticisms and distortions. This is rigged.
And yet, Clinton will defeat Trump convincingly, because intelligent people can see he is completely incapable of running an operation as big as the USA. The email hacks are rigged, these overextended investigations are rigged, and the right-wing media is rigged. And yet, Trump will lose big.
I bet he won’t even thank those who supported him.
You forgot to blame Bush.

now we know MillionMonkeys has a crystal ball
Where is YOUR crystal ball that is telling you there is something earth-shattering in the Weiner investigation that will affect Clinton? None? Then you should begin reading real news articles. Ten days before the election is plenty of time to do a little realistic reading, in order to not be misled.
And no, Fox News does not count as a crystal ball. They are a shoddy, biased, poor excuse for a news medium. They are misleading you, and you should not accept that.
Your presumption MillionMonkeys is manifestly evident for all to behold. Why do you presume that I believe “something earth-shattering” is in the investigation. Unlike you, I prefer to withhold judgment until the results are revealed. Unless you work for the FBI and have inside knowledge may I suggest you act prudently and do the same.
A source told Fox News it’s highly unlikely all of the 10’s of thousands found on the laptop are duplicates, meaning some NEW emails the FBI hadn’t seen before. And it’s not as Clinton and her croonies claiming they are duplicates of what the FBI already had! The SPIN, she’s always got a spin Game. Someone’s gonna pay because Huma never turned this laptop into the FBI! Better fess up NOW, to get pardoned by Obama
and How did you like Hillary’s approach claiming all the rumors of this email on the laptop alluding to the FBI only supplied the info to Republicans? Spin for the General public to hear on the airwaves. Hillary is conniving Lawyer and Politician with the way she uses words!
FoxNews has not stated anything misleading, just the same facts as every other newspaper or other media.
Hillary and crew turning up the Heat on the FBI to release more info! My bet is that Comey is spinning in his shoes as I write. Now he knows Hillary spun him, conned him and they’re throwing him under the bus. Comey is going to send her to the Slammers! This has gotten personal now and as a human being I don’t know how he’s not going to take it personal.
Now, I read Huma is playing Hillary’s ignorance game of how the emails got on their laptop? Does Huma have a history of blacking out or having amnesia?
Bull, Republicans have been investigating Hillary’s emails and Benghazi for years with numerous Congressional hearings, and have not convicted her anything. I am sick of hearing about her emails. I would like to see Trump’s tax returns for all the years he has been filing, so we can all see how sincere, honest, and truthful he is. He is hiding something which makes Hillary’s email a trivial matter. Trump is the crook, the liar, and the nasty crass person
You forget the Fed. Gov. is RIGGED! The lies HIllary spews. Tell me, did Hillary land in Bosnia under sniper fire. With just one instance of her lies can’t you understand what she’s all about?
Pocho, I don’t remember Trump landing in sniper fire either or any other military action by him. The only time he was under fire was from all the people he ripped off in business and the women who were attacked by the pig.
PO no , your deflection is awesome !
Poncho……………..sorry.
“This insubstantial (regarding Clinton) reopening will reveal nothing new”
Perhaps you could let us know the name of your psychic who informed you of this.
If you turn out to be right I might have a few questions for her myself!
After all this time and money spent on investigation, nothing substantial has been found worthy of criminal charges. You don’t need a crystal ball to figure that out. You do need to be literate and have the thinking skills to disregard biased, distorted reporting.
Not knowing the difference between an inference and a fact, and stating an inference as a fact, is a mark of ignorance not a mark of being literate and having thinking skills.
Mirror, mirror, on the wall;
Who is biased most of all.
Does anyone here really think Comey would face the known “Wrath of Hillary” over an email talking about her grand child’s baby party ? Watch for the head bobbles and eye twitching .
The headline reall should be ” Hillary is Weinered ! “
Substantial is a very subjective word. For example, Trump being accused of sexually assaulting women by some, others would say differently. It’s all about your view albeit biased or not.
The difference here is Hillary has the necessary people behind the scenes either cleaning up the mess, or has the people saying, there is not enough mess to worry about.
There was a lot but by getting orders from Mr. O everything died. No one with B did anything the Clinton mob has control from the top down.
What does your psychic say will be found in the Weiner emails that will incriminate Clinton?
Are you just repeating the vague accusations some hillbilly news agency is putting in their headlines? NO criminal wrongdoing has been found by the FBI. They only reopened the investigation because they came across more emails to look at.
What specific charges does your psychic say will result? Oh, your psychic took your money and ran away? Then it’s time to start reading real news and figure out things for yourself.
Your initial comment might have been given some credibility had you previously made other comments that expressed similar indignation at articles offering unsubstantiated allegations against Trump.
Pocho, and Trump constantly lies with a straight face. He is a bold faced liar.
Arguing that Clinton is somehow less of liar than Trump is a non-starter.
……..he already does! I donate to his campaign and he immediately responds with a: “Thank You and We’ll Never Forget you”.
And he also thanks his supporters at his Rallys ,who’s attendance are in records numbers,it’s tens of thousands. (see YouTube) Trump does this all the time!
And NO the system is NOT Rigged against Hillary,she along with the Democratic & Republican parties $ the MSM .Those are the ones who created this “Rigged System”. Heck even the MSM are now flipping,trying to act like real reporters for a change. Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
“Keko” you’re just mad because the “Rigged System” blew-up in their faces,but more? because Hillary got caught in another lie….. IRT: “Trump Will Lose Big”, I suggest you check out the latest Polls,but most importantly? This is my Favorite and the most critical! Look at the recent Electoral poll numbers. Braaaaaahhhh! Get ready for a new sheriff in town!
Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Franco, Duterte, and Putin also have and had big rallies and large followings. Popular right wing fascist tyrants attract like people. Fascists destroy democracies, and destroy the rights of individuals and minority groups.
Not nice to talk about Mrs. President like that> Hope she loos’s big time LOL
MoiLee, Heil Trump
Stop with the emails cause they’ll never find anything incriminating like all the previous emails to get her charged. Let’s concentrate on grabbing women’s private parts.
According to Comey at the congressional inquiry they already found prosecutable information , Comey also listed them for 15 minutes and then decided not to bring it to Grand jury……….something that is not his call. And it is interesting to see that the DOJ didn’t say a word.
Never underestimate the power of Slick Willie Wanker ! You think his tarmac talk. Was a threat or an offer of Supreme Court nomination.
Hard to tell with these guys.
Our whole govt. is rigged against the working man. Both Dems and Repubs have seen to that. They are all criminals.There is no justice for the common man. The FBI and DOJ has already gave immunity to all the guilty parties in this fiasco. It is all a ruse to make us think the system works. BS. From the president on down, they are the true deplorables as someone once said.
Another Trump ploy no doubt.
IRT MM, we, Americans, will all know shortly what the FBI has in the thousands of emails found on Weiner’s computer. We know it had better not have one single “Confidential” or “C” statement or sentence in one of the emails, right. If the FBI finds one, it’s all over based on what Ms Hillary said under oath. Also, these emails are not the “Hacked” emails, or as the Democrats say “Stolen” emails. But, the “Hacked” emails become support for the newly found emails. MM, don’t you think that the FBI investigators found emails that have “C’s” in them and knew they had to bring them forward to Director Comey ASAP. Also, don’t you think that the FBI investigators already made copies of the emails, printed or on flash drives, or other hard drives? Let’s sit back and watch.
What are you talking about with “thousands of emails?”
Can’t you ever stop lying?
IRT Klastri, bringing you up to current, the FBI has announced they have over 10,000 emails from Weiner’s computer and the number is being used by all the mainstream media.
kuroiwaj – The only release from the FBI was in the form of a letter from Mr. Comey to members of Congress. That’s it. Just that letter, which mentions nothing about thousands of anything.
You don’t know anything about the subject matter in your comments. It’s remarkable that an adult would make up things like this for no reason.
Lock up the crooked lying sick female felon and her rapist hubby. Enough excuses already. Trump 2016
IRT Klastri, pls read the NYT article on the Sr. FBI investigator announcing that they located ten’s of thousands emails from Weiner’s computer. It’s in print.
Regarding:
“And yet, Clinton will defeat Trump convincingly, because intelligent people can see he is completely incapable of running an operation as big as the USA.”
Are these the same “intelligent” people who voted for NO-Bama… TWICE ???!!!
Oh come on Monkey, if anything this election has been rigged in her favor by Obama and his administration.Just about anyone else would have been done in by this email scandal. Many people, including a General have seen their careers ended by lesser offenses when dealing with classified material. There is no doubt she is guilty,she has admitted as much when she apologized, the FBI is looking specifically for criminal intent. Since when did ignorance of national security laws become a valid defense? Hilary, being a lawyer herself and in government for 30+ years certainly knew setting up a private server was illegal. That’s why the vast majority of American don’t trust her. If she wins, it’ll be because she is the lesser of two evils.
Or it was fixed from the top.
…and it was said that oh-bumma will campaign hard for the lying lady everyday to the election.
Should he not be taking care of government business for the people and our government? Does he have more vacation time that allows him to do this at the taxpayer’s expense?
What a distortion of what’s going on!
“the FBI had found no evidence of intentional or willful mishandling of classified information”
with the corrupt obama administration colluding with the female felon’s campaign and the department of justice to whitewash the mishandling of classified information, don’t expect anything different from the f.b.i. in this investigation into new emails.
while comey stated that absent intent there was no crime committed, the actual statutes involved make no reference to state of mind but only to the fact that classified information was mishandled, stored or transmitted.
Wondering if WIkileaks got the drop on Comey.
Or Huma email file mentioned what went on during Slick Willie’s tarmac talk w/ Lynch.
So many crimes , so little enforcements , kinda a big cosmos of BS.
That, or the new evidence is designed to be a ruse to take the focus off the wikileak bombs. They own Comey and the deputy director, as well as the just us dept. Why would I imagine a genuine investigation to be credible?
This woman is the most dishonest creature in the public view. The constant drumbeat of illegal activity continues, and will continue for a long, long time. The Dems should have tossed her aside months ago when it was obvious, to all, that her illegal activity was becoming more and more apparent. Her latest lie about the FBI only notifying Republicans was immediately rebuked, even on cnn. If she really wants all the information out there; she could have done it months ago. Instead she ordered e-mails destroyed. Clintons are bad news, and America will draw a sigh of relief when both the Obamas and Clintons are no longer a part of American politics. They both belong in prison, but we’ll have to see how it plays out. One thing we know for sure; there are two sets of laws in America: one set for the Obamas and Clintons, and another set for the rest of us.
Trump tells an untruth every 3 minutes. He is the most dishonest miscreant in the public view.
He’s hiding his tax returns because they contain so much deplorable information, even some of his blind followers would despise him if they ever came out.
Trump University is a complete sham. It was founded by Donald for the sole purpose of separating undereducated people from their money. NOTHING useful was meant to be taught. NO vetting of “professors.” Staffed by bankrupt felons.
He’s preparing for his big loss and consequent lie by planting the seed of suspicion of a “rigged system.” He’s not even sure if it’s the media or the election system that’s “rigged.” Standard thought process of a habitual liar/salesman. Facts don’t mean anything to a liar. And he doesn’t care about the people he misleads. This means all his supporters.
How true facts don’t mean anything to a liar and she certainly does not care about anyone outside of maintaining power. May your healthcare premiums continue to skyrocket.
A rigged system is where Hawaii Democratic caucus was won by Bernie Sanders but Hawaii’s Democrat superdelegates is allowed to vote for whoever they want to.
Even democrats can’t trust democrats. LOL LOL LOL
Stan , how could they , they know first hand that in Washington D stands for depravity.
You don’t seem to know Mrs. Clinton won enough pledged delegates to win the nomination. The super delegates were not needed for the nomination vote.
So let’s try again … how was it rigged?
Reading is fundamental!
Million Monkeys hates liars, endorses Hillary Clinton. Go figure.
Million, totally agree. Trump is nothing but a con artist, pulling the wool over people’s eyes. Where are his tax returns? He wants investigations into Hillary’s emails, we need an investigation into Trump’s tax returns.
More delusional defection
Seems audacious that Trump boasts about what a smart businessman and good citizen he is, yet openly hides his tax returns (all his excuses are BS, everyone knows that).
What’s even more amazing is that his minions insist on NOT seeing those tax returns. Is that the definition of blind sucker?
Again, isn’t that the definition of a blind sucker? Anyone have a better explanation?
And the Clinton foundation is what? Lots of jokers here. Private school?
Sorry Multiple Monkey, Hilary Clinton has the lifetime achievement award for “most dishonest miscreant.”
bumbai, Hillary has that award but Trump the people’s choice has the award for the most foul mouth, racist, sexual predator so it’s pretty much a toss up don’t you think.
Hey Monkey you gotta agree that Trump has exposed the true corruption.
Maybe they will replace Hillary with Chelsea. You think much ?
peanutgallery, Tea Party traitorous talk. Move to Russia, you would love Putin
Vector, when you move out of your parents home, and get a job, come back and tell us how life is.
Peanutgallery, sorry to disappoint you, left my parents decades ago, love my job of decades, and have my own beautiful home, love Hawaii and these United States, it’s democratic values and all the people, women, blacks, whites, Mexicans, Asians, Gays, Latinos, children, the disadvantaged
peanuts, and you think Trump is more honest? Lies and never apologizes. At least she admits her mistakes and he never will because he can’t be accountable.
If any federal employee, contractor, or military member had done half of what Clinton has done with email security, they would have had their clearance yanked and later terminated because they cannot do their job without a clearance. There appears to be a double standard at work for the powerful with potential connections all the way to the top.
Fear not, Hillary fans, she’ll skate through all of this. After all, she didn’t do something really bad, like talking dirty in a locker room!
Haaaaa! Indeed Mr.Luke……”OR” taking millions from Wall Street “And” the Saudi “And” Qatar Governments,who kill women “And” Gays “OR” Taking Millions from the King of Morocco “OR” selling Uranium to the Ruskies .”And” enabling Bill with his indiscretions in the WH “Or” Renting the WH Lincoln Bedroom “And going after those women,who still fear for their lives I Can go On and On ,but I’m running out of “And’s” and “Or’s….you get the idea.
MoiLee, you are as psychopathic and sociopathic as Trump. No empathy or compassion for anyone but yourself
Cant take the truth. I here mama calling.
It’s hear. Not here. You might as well learn something today!
Where?
Did she keep the rent ? Or pass it on to the true owners , us.
Mr. Luke…Nothing really bad. Just inactions that caused the death of a US Ambassador and other US personnel. Then lied directly to the family of those who died in this tragedy.
Hillary had 60,000 State Department personnel under her watch. The Republicans in Congress voted against increasing funds for the improving the security of our diplomatic missions. Now, the same Republicans are blaming Hillary for what occurred in Benghazi. Two faced liars
You have absolutely no idea what you’re taking about, but we know in the progressive left-wing world, facts don’t matter, only what makes you “feel” good. Find a 12-step Vector, but do it fast. Your parents health-care won’t cover you for long.
Peanuts, I am glad to be part of the left wing progressive Democratic Party, and not part of a regressive, racist, xenophobic, misogynistic, racist, bigoted, right wing Alt- right conspiracy
You got to realize that type of locker room talk only happens with Trump supporters. They don’t think there’s anything wrong with that kind of language and it’s passed down from parents to their children, how sad.
Delusional amelia . Come back to the real world.
I think she’s using sarcasm.
Sense of justice has been much maligned. The facts can be compared to the Nixon era fibbing impeachment and the multitude of fabrications in this generation cannot be sanely compared. Once a minor was not condoned and currently a major lie is okay? Strange as our sense of justice can be manipulated whomever desire it so? Conspiracy theories are not far fetched. They exist, where clandestine meeting by the chief law enforcement officer is caught meeting the wife of the subject investigation prior to the announcement that the investigation has been completed with no finding against the accused? Then currently opened? Go hide your head in the sand? Our government has been corrupted so deeply that nothing makes sense. One thing for sure, taxpayers are paying for all the hullabaloo by crooked politicians and Czars that run the department. IRS used to punish opponents. Commissars no different.
If Clinton becomes president she will be under investigation throughout her term. Why would we want this for our country? Obama also has been a great failure of our country, look at the latest email dump, Obama had Citigroup advise him on his cabinet choices. Trnmp for President!!
Years and years of Republican investigations into Hillary’s emails with nothing to show for it, except false and unproven accusations against Hillary. Vote Hillary.
Come needs to resign. The FBI did an inadequate job when they released the initial report. Now he writes a letter saying there is more but without knowing what it is. What a joke.
well, now we know why comey sent a letter to congress informing them of new emails from weiner’s archives.
it was a warning. with more than tens of thousands of emails archived on weiner’s email account, what are the chances that other legislators, donors and lobbyists are exchanging emails outlining criminal activity, some porn and the dreaded “locker room” banter.
legislators are now scrambling to “bleach” their email archives of all weiner related emails and all inappropriate emails.
comey knows he will not seek indictments or arrest no matter what the investigation uncovers, he just wanted congress to know that all communications involving weiner are open to viewing.
What point is served by making up things like this? You have absolutely no information of any kind about this, other than what is in Mr. Comey’s letter. Does it give you some kind of pleasure to lie all the time, or is it a compulsion?
Hi Klastri, no need to make anything up. The FBI sent a memo to the Congress, Republicans and Democrats, that they, the FBI, are reopening the Ms Hillary’s criminal email investigation after finding thousands of emails on Weiner’s computer. Now, speculation. How did the FBI know there are thousands of emails relating to Huma and Ms Hillary? Maybe, the FBI looked at them, read them, saved them, for evidence? We all can wait and wonder. Now, why is Ms Huma in hiding? As an attorney Klastri, in a criminal case, esp now, can Ms Hillary and her lawyers talk to Ms Huma and visa versa?
Probably better if Hillary stays away from the Weiners.
First of all, where did you get in Mr. Comey’s letter that there are thousands of emails to be reviewed that relate to Mrs. Clinton? Why would you lie like that? The only fact in this new event is Mr. Comet’s letter. Period. Anything else you add is coming exclusively from your imagination.
Of course they can. Anyone can talk with her.
Lying does not help build your case.
He is not a lawyer. Impersonating one. If he is please tell us how you realy are. Back yard butcher on some farm LOL
beachbum11 -Are you bitter because you can’t spell or construct coherent sentences?
IRT Klastri, it’s in print from the New York Times, as a statement from a Senior FBI person. Ten’s of thousands of email messages.
kuroiwaj – Please name the “senior FBI person.” You won’t be able to because that person either doesn’t exist at all or is not privy to the information and isn’t authorized to speak.
I’m sorry you know so little about how investigations and criminal law works. Debating with you is really not productive.
Klastri, it is Comey’s letter and not Comets. Might as well learn something today.
IRT Klastri, “Please name the Sr. FBI person?” Please, you jest, I pray. You are posting as a child. Klastri, as an attorney, take a deep breath and thimk deeply before posting.
I understand she has stayed away from weiners for many years.
Kinda like you in Kenoi trail. Found him innocent before any testimony or evidence was presented.
It would be refreshing if you wrote accurately just once. Just once would be great!
I didn’t find Mr. Kenoi “innocent”, and would never write anything like that. I wrote that there was no crime, according to the charge filed by the AG. More than half the case has already been dismissed by the judge who agreed with me. Do you have a different legal opinion?
I didn’t think so.
It might be productive to not debate the practice of law with me. And I won’t debate how to sell manure (or whatever it is you do) with you. Deal?
If I was Huma and Weiner, I would be very worried. They know too much and have now become a problem that needs to be taken care of.
If Trump is elected President, they would be wise to enter the Federal Witness Protection program and cut a deal to avoid going to prison.
Either way, they may be the victim of an unfortunate accident or be suicided.
Weiner probably cooperating.. sexting with a minor… not good for him. Could have a tough life behind bars. Huma just dumped him, he owes her nothing. This is how narcs get informants, dumped women….just in this case it is a dumped man…. Lol
Huma dumped the Weiner and hooked up with HiLIARy. Wikileaks to reveal all.
Comey promised congress he would keep them up to date when & if there were any new developments in the Clinton email case.
“Someone could be charged” – but not until LONG after the election.
CLINTON is SO corrupt that she sounds INSANE now. Going to Jail !!
Trump is the insane person
Can we all just agree that they both are. However, I have to go with the loud mouth jerk over the cold blooded, power hungry criminal.
Huma Abedin’s email was a yahoo account that used an MAP protocol. All Yahoo accounts are IMAP accounts. IMAP stores everything on every workstation, so these emails are duplicates of the tens of thousands of emails already scoured for any wrongdoing, without any wrongdoing uncovered. Nice fishing expedition though.
Meanwhile the 22 million emails that the Bush administration illegally deleted are not a problem.
This bogus partisan announcement made without support from the Department of Justice amounts to insubordination and an attempt to interfere with our election.
I think the emails were suppose to have been destroy under the immunity granted to Huma, which was, her computer. This stuff was probably found on their joint computer through an investigation into her ex husbands activities which was seized before immunity. That computer is evidence in another matter. If I was a hard working FBI agent with no political affiliation, present this to my boss ” now what? “. You might be right, being old stuff , but how do you get rid of it without affecting the real matter, evidence of Weiner’s criminal behavior.
What grant of immunity are you talking about? Why would you make up something like this?
Hillary is doomed. Come Nov. 9th Trump and his supporters will be dancing in the streets. Mexico better get their check book out just in case Trumps wall starts up. ( The wall that’s not going to happen )
It’s Bush’s fault, it’s global warming, it’s the evil gun-toting republicans and their SUVs……Nah, the clintons just forgot to pay off all the right people…..
The positives among you all on this article is the brilliancy of all of your beautiful grammatical correct written expressions! My sincere admiration from one who lack your talents! There is good in everything and everyone when one looks for the good in people and things. Have a great day and may your candidate be the winner!
Vote for Trump.
If both Hillary & Trump both get criminal charges against them. Hillary for emails etc, Trump for sex with a minor etc. Who would be our next President? Chose either Kaine or Pence who would be better fit to run our country. Everyone has lots of bad comments of the two, who are running for President. It could turn out this way the VP could be our next President. If this is wrong who would be our next President?
Oh I wish I was wiener oh I happy I would be. If I was wiener all the girl would
Gary Johnson?
Clinton will never be charged so why are some people so upset at Comey?
At least one person in this administration has integrity.
