> [@Driver8](#): > > I’m surprised the betting markets moved so dramatically. Is this obviously a good development for Clinton? My intuition is “obviously, yes” but an argument can be made the other way. Namely, the candidate mostly in the news cycle is at the disadvantage this election, and this just puts the email issue into the minds of voters again. Clinton was right when she said voters already made up their minds about her emails. They either believe the FBI’s findings or they believe she’s hopelessly corrupt and the system is always rigged for her. I question the number of undecideds who were waiting around for the FBI to make up their minds. I think the poll tightening had more to do with Republicans coming home to Trump than with her losing votes. ---

> [@running\_coach](#): > > It’s called software. You search for keywords and phrases. And therein lies the problem. 649,000 emails containing the words “giant orange penis” went automatically to the spam folder and were not checked. But it turns out that this was Hillary’s secret unguessable code word for Donald Trump, and these were illegal emails about sabotaging his campaign and stealing the election. ---
