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

[GeorgiaModerate]

Comey just did his job. Big news for conspiracy theory lovers

comey knew himself that what he did could influence the outcome of the election....gets quite clear in the second letter.

Then why did he not recommend her indictment? Even if Lynch didn't act on it, he still could have referred her for prosecution. He didn't. If he wanted Trump to win, why didn't he publicly and explicitly call for Lynch to indict her?

You need evidence to recommend indictment and no matter how much he wanted to recommend indictment, he could not have done so. He could however create enough doubt with a vague letter a few days before before the election in an attempt to influence the election.

If he were such a partisan, he'd have recommended prosecution anyway even though he didn't at the time have the evidence. Lynch would have said no, of course, but he could have done it if he wanted to. What do you want from Comey? Do you want him to get you a bag of ice for all of this butt-hurt?

So he is supposed to protect and aid her candidacy instead of helping it?

if there is a case, there is a case...like many leaks said.

if there isn't a case...which the FBI doesn't know right now according to its own assessment....this course of acting is undermining the election.

it's worse than the horrible IRS leaks the republicans have whined about for years.

Ok. So we should elect a President who potentially can be looking at jail time? We shouldn't know these things until it is too late?

Ever heard of "innocent until proven guilty"?  Clinton has not been charged with any crime, let alone convicted.  Investigations don't always lead to criminal charges.  Many don't; this one certainly hasn't yet despite the many hours of FBI work that have gone into it.

Now if you're trying to say that any investigation could result in a criminal charge and be disqualifying...we could talk about perennial tax audits (which could lead to fraud and/or tax evasion charges), investigations into the Trump Foundation (by NY state), accusations of sexual assault (one of which, the child rape case, is in the court system), etc.

So we should elect a President who potentially can be looking at jail time?

since both of us know that a president won't do jail time, the FBI should have used their information to indict during summer.

doing this now is more like trying to enforce a self-fulfilling prophecy.

We elected one who ended up settling a legal case involving rape allegations. Want to guess his name?

Problem is, he didn't have the evidence to indict and if he issued some trumped up charges, it would have be abundantly clear what he was up to. It's much easier to pull a stunt days before the election by issuing a vague letter than it is to build a real case for an indictment.

Your missing my point on purpose because you don't have any proof other than your partisan emotional yearning for this to go away. Where were you questioning Comey back in July? He's keeping a promise he made to the American people back in the summer that he'd keep us apprise if the investigation ever reopened. Just because you didn't count on it coming back to haunt you doesn't mean that there is a concerted conspiracy here by Comey to shipwreck the Clinton campaign.

>Says Comey didn't indict because it'd be obvious what he would be doing.
>Says Comey is obviously trying to steal the election one sentence later.

So what is it? Why would he do something that is so apparently obvious at a time when more Americans are watching than ever? If he wanted to do this, why didn't he do it in July when not as many people cared?

For indictments, you need sufficient evidence and if you don't have it, you have no case. Writing a vaguely worded letter to create doubt just days before the election is a simple action that anyone can do without real evidence.

You are aware Dr.Scholl that the FBI Director can only recommend indictment, not actually issue one. If Comey just wanted to create doubt about Clinton, he would have recommended that Lynch prosecute her, and Lynch would have certainly refused. So why didn't he do that? And why is he suddenly doing now after not doing it when he had a prime opportunity?

[ApatheticAustrian]

could it be that some middle-level FBI agents want to stick it to comey?

otherwise it's strange that the director is only briefed about this weeks and weeks after the initial findings.

I think the big issue is whether there is PC or even RS.

I never said the FBI Director could issue an indictment, but if he had the evidence to recommend an indictment, he would have done so. Clearly, he did not and had he recommend a bogus indictment it would have easily backfired and fallen out of the news cycle.

Writing a vaguely worded letter about "new emails" 11 days before the election is a Hail Mary pass is and is an easy trick that anyone could pull.

That's possible.  I think it's more likely that FBI agents, like any other group of people, have a variety of political leanings, and leaks are coming from partisans on both sides in that group.  However, they shouldn't let their political preferences influence their behavior.  Any FBI employee caught leaking the progress of an ongoing investigation should be fired (regardless of who the leak benefits).

There is literal precedent for this with Mark Felt/Deep Throat. It was all over an internal promotion.

CNN is running with everything....huge outlier right now.

F**king trash.

It wasn't when they had the same banner but with Conway instead of Clinton in the title? Considering how she's already bleeding, I'd say CNN is either actually being objective for the first time or actually turning their intense journalistic persecution complex on Clinton for once.

[Southern Delegate matthew27]

SO let me get this straight
Trump screws thousands of Trump university students out of their life savings...No big story on cnn!
Trump is being sued by many of those students and going in front of a judge later this month...No big story on CNN!
Trump bribed state att generals to cover this up!!! Oh damn lets cover the emails!!!!
Trump is accused by no less then 12 freaking women of sexual assault. Yet, again NO BIG STORY ON CNN!!!!
Trump Talks about doing exactly the above in a tape in 2005 and on Howard freaking strern1!! Well, CNN needs to talk about the freaking emails...Emails that the fbi doesn't even have even the slightest idea if they're new or old...Let alone if she did anything freaking wrong!
Trump is accused of NOT PAYING thousands of workers and bringing in illegal labor!!! Well, that is not a big story! Not to the goddamn media.
Trump is heading to court in MID FREAKING DECEMBER for possibly RAPING A CHILD. Oh'nooo's we can't be covering that...It is hillary doing damage control.

Anyone that thinks the media is anything besides bias in Trumps favor is insane. If cnn elects this son of a b%tch then it is their fault.

[ApatheticAustrian]

what?

CNN is shooting everyone who they can get the whole cycle.

nearly all of the most cringe-worthy "discussions" happen on CNN.

as a liberal, i think there is tons more intellectual honest debate on FOX NEWS than on CNN, even with those liberal opinion shows.

Have you watched CNN at all? It's literally one of the thirty channels I get. I have no choice but to watch it. They covered this heavily, especially in the primaries.

Trump is being sued by many of those students and going in front of a judge later this month...No big story on CNN!

Did you forget about that brouhaha about the Mexican judge?

Trump bribed state att generals to cover this up!!! Oh damn lets cover the emails!!!!

Yep, covered as well. Extensively. Anderson Cooper grilled Pam Bondi about this and her gay rights record during the aftermath of the Orlando shooting, actually. Where were you?

Trump is accused by no less then 12 freaking women of sexual assault. Yet, again NO BIG STORY ON CNN!!!!

This example in particular was covered every single day, every single hour, for at least a solid month. It was probably the biggest story they've covered this whole cycle in terms of time spent on it.

Trump Talks about doing exactly the above in a tape in 2005 and on Howard freaking strern1!! Well, CNN needs to talk about the freaking emails...Emails that the fbi doesn't even have even the slightest idea if they're new or old...Let alone if she did anything freaking wrong!

CNN talked about the tapes for a solid three weeks. I don't care about that at this point, though. I'm more interested in your age considering the content of this post and the syntax.

Trump is accused of NOT PAYING thousands of workers and bringing in illegal labor!!! Well, that is not a big story! Not to the goddamn media.

Nah, not really a big deal considering the thousands of "exposes" written on Trump's labor practices. Old news. Didn't stick. Try harder.

Trump is heading to court in MID FREAKING DECEMBER for possibly RAPING A CHILD. Oh'nooo's we can't be covering that...It is hillary doing damage control.

The girl in question is the same child who accused Prince Andrew and Bill Clinton of raping her. In truth, she was only raped by Jeffrey Epstein, who flew Bill Clinton on his private jet no less than 32 times. This conspiracy theory is insanely stupid. You also believe that Trump is an agent of Putin, that he burnt down his own campaign office, and that Comey is probably doing this on purpose though too. Clinton supporters are a weird, paranoid bunch.

Anyone that thinks the media is anything besides bias in Trumps favor is insane. If cnn elects this son of a b%tch then it is their fault.

I think it is safe to assume, even when the content is put aside, from your post that you aren't the sharpest pencil on the desk. If you want to know who is to "blame" for electing this "son of a b%tch" than I'd probably blame the fact that Clinton and her cronies are about as mentally competent as her strongest die hard supporters.

Ok. Even if the media was somehow not totally biased and aligned with Clinton, guess what: you posting this tweet won't get them to cover it. I think the helplessness associated with the panic on Atlas this weekend is what I've gotten the most enjoyment from. It's nice to dish it after being forced to take it.
