Okay FBI Director James Comey has made a huge 180 and has reopened the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s handling of classified secrets in her emails. Now what does this Black Swan occurrence mean? Is Hillary Clinton’s campaign mortally wounded? It might just be; this might just be the end of the Clinton campaign for president.
It is hard to imagine a scenario under which this latest hit does not harm Clinton regardless of the certain media circling of the wagons around her.
The damage can be; at one end about a 2 point hit in the polls or go all the way up a major collapse of her polling numbers. It is likely that the damage will shake out somewhere in the middle causing damage in the 4 to 7 point range. That would be fatal.
Time is actually on Donald Trump’s side because this investigation will be hanging over Hillary’s every move right up to Election Day. There is no way this can be wrapped up in the brief time left before the election.
Nevertheless, it puts her on defense and when you are on defense you are not winning. It will leave her bashed and blooded.
It is a good guess that James Comey has been under "blow torch” pressure to make some effort, however half-hearted, to reclaim the FBI’s seriously tarnished reputation.
The pot must have started to boil when Comey made his jaw dropping announcement last summer saying he saw nothing that would make him want to prosecute Clinton for her “careless” handling of state secrets.
There are legions of honest FBI agents – many whom probably joined the agency immediately after 911 for “God and Country.”
They must have been livid and red faced with embarrassment when that happened; but even more so over the last few days when they learned that one of their top investigators Andrew McCabe obviously sold out the integrity of the FBI for $500,000 to pay for his wife’s campaign for state senate in Virginia.
The finals straw must have been the news that the money to pay for the crook’s wife’s failed campaign came from a fund raiser Hillary Clinton did in coordination with the crooked Governor of Virginia Terry McAuliffe.
Now FBI Director Comey has taken the only step he had left to try to head off an open rebellion in the nation’s Police Department. He has reopened the case he and the Democrats thought was dead and buried.
This won’t be settled anytime soon but that’s a good thing; let Hillary Clinton have her richly deserved sleepless nights filled with nightmares of being put on trial – not in a court of law but in the court of public opinion where she cannot win and there is no such thing as an appeal.
The biggest Black Swan so far has landed on Hillary Clinton’s head.
Hello President Trump!!!
Me-again Kelly will want to talk about sex though.
Hillary’s 3am call,,,
Ring,
Ring,
Ring,,,
The FBI should be required to get congressional approval for anymore immunity agreements. That is what I can say.
Let’s assume that Hillary actually had a computer dedicated to classified use, AND that she actually used it.
Those records should have been retained and would be very instructive to see how LITTLE it was used.
Conclusion: Classified data was trafficked on unauthorized systems.
Megan’s probably scrambling right now to book Gloria Allred for tonight’s show.
Somebody will have to tell me about it as she’s off the rotation.
Perhaps Assange sent Comey an advance copy of the emails Assange says will get Hillary arrested.
Now that would be interesting.
One Big Sign: If Hillary flies to a campaign stop in Ecuador. :>)
1. Comet thinks Trump will win.
2. Comet thinks the Wikileaks leaker is clearly inside of the u.s. government, probably inside the FBI and has bulletproof ninja skills and has more on COMEY.
As I posted earlier.
IMHO, I think it would be best for the FBI NOT to go into much detail about this re-opened case.
For the simple reason that it keeps the story alive with speculation and doesn’t allow Hillary and her MSM sycophants an opportunity for a defense.
I will add.
The fact that the investigation was closed and has now been re-opened will drive the left mad.
The FBI/Congress should just trickle out hints of “Major Concerns” and let the speculation run rampant.
She's sleeping off last evening's drunk
I would imagine that Onambla & Lynch couldn’t stop this.
I’d bet that Comey was probably facing a revolt from the troops and they may very well have threatened to go public had Comey not gone forward.
And it’s all over the networks who are at this very moment grouping together to try and spin this to favor HRC. What can Meygan Kelly possibly come up with tonight in favor of HRC?
Regardless of whatever the Debbie downer’s say, this is very bad for Hillary!
“There is no way this can be wrapped up in the brief time left before the election.”
I remember the Florida Supreme Court moving SWIFTLY within hours in 2000 to issue rulings to support Algore’s attempted theft....
One possibility: She is losing. They know it. Obama can’t pardon a future, non-prosecuted crime. Make a rush to judgement before Obama leaves office so he can pardon her. Just a thought.
Ya, according to the media its much more important to talk about how Trump said a bad word, or talk about women who are probably paid to say Trump touched them.
Remember that millions have already voted. Those votes can’t be changed, however, voters that will cast between now and the 8th will be markedly influenced by this news.
I believe that President Trump was on his way to the Oval Office before this news. I firmly believe this will secure his election. The left has to be experiencing apoplexy this afternoon.
