FBI is re-opening investigation into Clinton's email

Again, innuendo from anonymous “sources” whom we know nothing about. And we should take these leads seriously…why? It’s really sad to see this because most people - democrats and republicans - have regarded the FBI as a respectable agency. But it’s clear that someone or some people have gone full-on Frank Rizzo as of late.

shrug I’m just passing along what was reported because it looked relevant to the thread topic. If you think Andres Triay is a liar or bad journalist, I won’t argue in his defense. I don’t know the guy. And remember, I’m a conservative, so my default position is that most people in the media and government are crooked.

wrong thread

I’m very ignorant, so forgive me, but… I don’t understand why it’s surprising, much less shocking, that these aren’t duplicates of stuff on Clinton’s server. These newly found emails on AW’s laptop aren’t actually to or from HRC herself, are they? (At least, I haven’t heard that they were.)

Did Huma Abedin only have one email account, and that was on the infamous private server as well? Couldn’t these just be HA writing “Hey Tony, I’m stuck late at the office working out the details for the party for the Chinese Ambassador; hope you can find a way to entertain yourself until I get back” or whatever?

Lots of people seem to have this idea, and I’m not sure where it came from. The reality is we simply don’t know yet. There could be a lot from HRC or none at all. We simply don’t have good information either way. Whether one guesses that there are or are not emails to or from HRC probably depends more on one’s political leanings than any basis in fact.

So, then, the use of exaggerated fonts and attention grabbing colors doesn’t imply any actual assertion on your part? You are just reporting that people are talking about it?

Thanks for sharing.

They should have a truth in posting award … how true this is.

And-the review of the emails shows zip, nothing, nada new per the FBI. Who here is surprised? Who else is still pissed?

Well, I’ve heard numbers between 80,000 and 200,000 emails on the Weiner laptop, so I doubt if they’ve all been looked through yet. Still…

Link to Rep. Chaffetz’ Twitter account confirming nothing new to see here.

Thank you. I was seeing this on CNN but couldn’t find an online link.

No criminality in Clinton emails - FBI

“Based on our review, we have not changed our conclusions that we expressed in July with respect to Secretary Clinton,” said Mr Comey in Sunday’s letter to Congress.

So, is the FBI reclosing the case?

So why did Comey open his fucking mouth two weeks ago?

Hey, Comey, over here! Yeah, here! I’ve got a little pink flash drive that MIGHT contain some incriminating emails! You’d better write a letter, FAST, to that committee thingie – and be sure to alert the press! Yeah, NOW!

Cause you never know!

Fucker.

That sound you hear is millions of boners that had been pointing in Comey’s direction, all wilting in defeat. Sad!

And we have a late entry for Post Of The Year!

[Fiveyearlurker]

The GOP only has itself to blame for the lack of traction for any of the actual shit that Clinton did wrong. Turns out yet another wolf didn’t ever exist. Just like the last one, and the one before that, and the fourteen before that.

[elucidator]

So, no reason to change the conclusions about crooked ol’ tired Hillary willfully and criminally sabotaging our national security.

Comey: ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Which is why the Trump faithful want to “lock her up”. Investigations don’t work, so what they demand is some pre-emptive lynching.

I’m truly ashamed that I spent the better part of four minutes trying to imagine what this might sound like.
ETA: It’s been a long few weeks.
