FBI reopens investigation into Clinton email use

[PokerGuy]

Of course there is a reason.

The FBI is meddling with the US election at this point.

If they (actually, Comey) wanted to "meddle with the election", he could have pretty much booted illary from it by recommending charges be filed against her. Regardless of whether they could actually prove anything or whether Lynch would have protected her queen, the mere fact that the FBI recommended criminal charges would have been the end of her campaign.

He obviously chose not to meddle with the election. Despite all my misgivings about her not getting charged with a crime like the rest of us would have been, I give Comey credit for doing his job without playing politics when he clearly could have single-handedly decided the election had he wanted to. Now the left (mostly the scumbag illary's supporters) are trying to smear him. Noticeably absent from that smearing is obummer himself. Me thinks the FBI dropping info about the other investigation(s) was a warning shot across the bow, and it was received loud and clear.

Sure, comey could've done that if he were dumb as you, then lost his job soon when charges go nowhere. Of course if someone were that goddamn stupid, they'd hardly get very far in the FBI much less be director.

This way, things will tide over with democrats after clinton wins, and even trump is complimenting him over this latest stunt despite revealing nothing.

In case you're not convinced just how incredibly dumb you are, consider someone can literary explain to you in small words how a smart person conducts business, and you still can't figure it out.

Yeah, because I'm sure a president Trump (in that scenario) would just boot Comey out as soon as he became president right? lol

Besides, at this point, it really doesn't matter for Comey what anyone does, he's got a nice retirement coming and doesn't need the job. The point is, he could have easily decided the election. He declined to do that. Claims that he's trying to influence the election now are just patently stupid.

Oh teh noes, that's just so hurtful, a moron calling me dumb

Trump'll treat comey same as everyone else who's outlived their usefulness, just ask Christie. Wait, were you expecting trump to reward you for coddling his balls? Christ you're dumb.

Thank god the FBI director doesn't have shit for brains.

Ran across this this morning. 650,000 emails is obviously a lot of emails. This guy makes a tech based, pretty compelling argument on why every email that was contained on the Clinton, Inc. server may be on the laptop taken from the Abedin/Weiner residence. It has to do with how the laptop would have interacted with the server and when the server was taken off line

It's an IMAP issue for those that have even minor knowledge of how email protocols function. Once the server was taken off line, the email client on the laptop was not able to connect and sync thus the emails remained.

This "newly discovered" laptop is very likely to be literal nuclear waste for Hillary and everyone around her

You'll fall for anything that confirms your worldview, huh?

Libs thought he was a paragon of virtue back in July when he claimed there was not sufficient cause to recommend an indictment against Hillary.

Most liberals criticized him then as well for his statements. Just review the three here and you'll see your claim doesn't hold much water.

To reiterate, it's not smart to assume other people are dumb as you are, whether fbi directors or anyone else for that matter.

 

[realibrad]

The right has been warning about uppity leftists/minorities for most of our history.



I'm sure this is a in no way biased account of events. And really you haven't exactly demonstrated the ranting "back in my day" crowd is receptive to changing their mind through dialog.

It is funny to watch your hate hard on for me. Its like your comments are only ad hominems to a imagined creature that you want to believe in.

 

[Jhhnn]

It's as if Comey is trying to assert the Bureau's independence from politics by injecting themselves into the middle of it. There's a difference between disregarding the political consequences & refusing to be part of it that he's missing.

 

[runzwithsizorz]

I'm still waiting for the revelation that the FBI is actually looking at new Clinton emails.

What was the amount of emails hillary released? What was the amount of emails she had destroyed? I doubt it comes close to the 650,000 they found here. Mind you these are not from hacks, or Russia, or Wikileaks, (3rd party, hearsay, plausible deniability), but from the highest placed people of hillary's inner circle, just something to think about.

Nah, I'll think about something more important.

I remember Comey getting widely criticized by Democrats for his July press conference for injecting his own personal opinions into the case and for completely circumventing the Department of Justice (even if Lynch was deemed to be tainted, the deputy AG is a non-political, career staffer)

That's exactly right, but the talking point now is that the "libs" loved Comey because he didn't recommend an indictment. Comey's editorializing was outrageous, and totally inappropriate.

Actually, it isn't. The only story here is the desperate attempt to convince people otherwise.

It's amazing, that short attention span. The right was up in arms (for some of them, literally, I imagine), that he did not bring charges. They were outright furious because, as a group of people that understands belief to equate to truth, there was no other option than Hillary being guilty. Obviously, she is guilty because I believe it.

The anger was so profound, I think, that it blinded the right to the fact that Comey was roundly excoriated by the left for making this into a political shit show for no reason beyond his own hubris.

Or as somebody else suggested, perhaps he is trying to cover his ass. He appears rather screwed whatever he does.

The FBI Southern District in Manhattan is investigating corruption at the Clinton Foundation. The Eastern District has also been investigating this but is being told to withhold findings from the Eastern District of the FBI by Loretta Lynch who gave immunity to obtain them.

The Clinton emails are critical to the investigation and were likely among deleted emails on the Clinton server.

NYT: Right-Wing Book Was A Source For FBI Inquiry Into Clinton Foundation

really sounds like the FBI New York office in particular has gone rogue and may be reading too much Breitbart.

as far as I know, though, this is actually untrue -- the office tried to "prosecutor shop" by petitioning a different district after the probe was denied by the eastern district office, and they were shot down.

Never mind that the Trump "Foundation" has already been shut down because it is an illegal operation. I'm sure Felix is thoroughly concerned about that.

That's ok since Trump is a private citizen.

My comment was somewhat sarcastic. What can I say? Many on here bring that aspect to the fore. Yes, I'm aware that he took heat for his presser. However, up until that presser comments (in the general libosphere - not necessarily on here, but I do recall some positive comments about him on this board) was that he was a stand-up guy.

As to his press conference, you, and others on here are just POed that he didn't completely exonerate Hillary. He's perfectly allowed to state that she was careless at best in what she did, which she was - grow up and get over it.

I fully realize that many on the left utterly loathe, despise, detest, and revile Trump and wish he would spontaneously combust (I'm no fan either as I've stated multiple times), but ffs stop with your near hysterical attempts to cast Hillary as someone of virtue. The ones doing so are laughably pathetic. She's every bit the self-serving elitist that many in this country are truly coming to hate.

But whatever. I'm really getting past the point of caring. Moving to New Zealand is sounding more appealing every day.
