Hillary Clinton is having a very bad week.
Her lead in the polls is crumbling.
She still hasn’t figured how to put one foot in front of the other.
Now the FBI has just re-opened the probe into her email fiasco.
But why is the FBI going after Hillary now, just 11 days before the election?
Sure, the reason given is due to what was found while investigating Anthony Weiner, but radio host Rush Limbaugh isn’t buying it.
He thinks the FBI is doing this in order to distract us from the WikiLeaks emails.
From The Blaze:
There’s nothing to see here, according to conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh, who suggested Friday the FBI’s decision to “reopen” its probe into Hillary Clinton is nothing more than a ruse to distract from WikiLeaks revelations about the Democratic presidential nominee.
“[FBI Director James] Comey is just doing this to take everyone’s attention off of the WikiLeaks email dump,” he said during his daily radio broadcast. “[H]e knows that everybody’s gonna say, ‘Wow! There must be something brand-new that’s dynamite. There must be something that’s gonna just end it for her.’”
That’s the cynical view. The cynical view is that Comey is still carrying water for Clinton and is trying to get everybody to stop paying attention to the WikiLeaks dump because it’s starting to have an impact.
So you announce you’re opening the inquiry, get everybody all hot and bothered and focused on it, and then after three or four or five days, announce that it was a false alarm, nothing to see here. The investigation is now officially over — and, meanwhile, in that five-day period everybody’s forgotten about be WikiLeaks.
Definitely can’t rule Rush’s thoughts out.
He makes a very valid point, but that’s nothing new.

Maybe. But it aint gonna work.
I can multitask and pay attention to both. That’s the beauty of browser tabs.
Wikileaks has had almost no effect on the election and it is barely reported. Why would you associate your name with Anthony Weiner to distract from something that’s not affecting you.
Was part of the plan to get rid of Huna as a Hillary aide?
I doubt it.
This is way, way, way bigger than Wikileaks. Half the public believes that Wikileaks is a GOP-Russian plot to discredit Hillary.
This is Comey doing something he doesn't want to do and something he was ordered not to do in July. Wikileaks may be the driving force here but it is Comey, the FBI, Hillary and very possibly Obama that is the story.
The distraction is probably coming next week - perhaps from Wikleaks. Perhaps from some other source.
It wiuld mske sense if Comey says on Friday in his best Emily Latella. Never Mind. He won’r do that because it will make him and his agency look ridiculous. You cannot announce in a letter to Congress that an investgation is being reopened and five business days later say never mind, of for that matter bring an indictment. That doesnt happen, even on Law and Order. As for Wikileaks, who is Rush kidding? They are not being covered by the LSM. If they were both Clintons would be in handcuffs.But the FBI cannot be dismissed or ignored. And people, wrongly, still have a hig regard for it. So Rush is being too cute. And even if he were right, what would he expect us to do?
Rush will have much higher numbers if Clinton wins. He always does.
If these idiots in the liberal media would actually listen to Rush, they would find that he posited this as a theory from cynics, that he didn’t believe.
It seems instead of distracting from WikiLeaks it is adding to and authenticating.
Rush’s attempt to stay relevant.
Barely being reported in the old media, sure. But on the internet, it's being read by many and I think it's having an effect.
And it's that effect that I (and Rush) think will cause Hillary to one again have the FBI clear her name, right before the election.
But if he had waited until after the election to investigate, it would have reinforced the accurate perception of collusion between the FBI, the entire executive branch, and the Clintons and would have led to endless post-election congressional hearings and who knows what else.
And since it isn't entirely clear who the winner is going to be now, he had to err on the side of covering his own ass by doing the right thing. If it was obvious that Hillary was going to win, I suspect he might have just held these cards back. I'm looking forward to reading his book someday.
“Like starting a forest fire to distract you from the candle on the table.”
And I hear what their scheming next is to have Hillary dress up as a creepy clown with a cleaver, and have her run around terrorizing kids to even further divert attention away from Wikileaks. And of course, boost her standings in the polls.
Ooooohhhh.... A purist Rush troll!
Comey would never-ever had done this if his hand wasn’t forced to. He found out recently via whomever that those emails or other info was gonna drop if he didn’t do this. Now it’s damage control or do nothing and let that missing info out in the wild-(TSHTF)
He knew his goose is cooked either way. 10 days before an election this happens. He gets a conscience??
. Comey is/was a bought and paid for Clinton stooge from way back. His actions proved it when he let her off the hook in July.
No-somebody got to him. If he told obamoa, LL or anyone in office that he was going to send a letter, we wouldn’t have seen the blowback on him by the dems.
There’s no way Comey can legally release what he has despite PIAPS/Podesta’s call to do so. He would be breaking the law by going public with what he knows. Cankles knows this.
-KimDotCom (RingRing, You’ve got mail)
-NYC police +local FBI agents via Carlos Danger. (Weiners revenge or good local police work,Guliani has friends in those departments)
-Wikileaks
-Third party. Stonetear, Guccifer2, Paol M Courtis, other (non-US) state actors
-PO’ed FBI agents in the know.
they are going to go through what is now tens of thousands of emails within a week and declare that there’s nothing there? I don’t see that happening at all. But maybe I’m wrong. Happens a lot. you are right about social media however. It has reached a lot of people. I don’t think those people that go to social media would be affected if comie said there was nothing there. I just don’t see how it helps. and what about all the votes in between now and them clearing her? Democrats notoriously vote early.
I agree. His analysis, makes no sense. I don’t see how this helps Hillary in any way.
You may be right about that.
you are right about social media however. It has reached a lot of people.
Yup.
I don’t think those people that go to social media would be affected if comie said there was nothing there.
Good point.
That would be suicide for Comey if that's what it's about, which I doubt. The libs were caught off guard. You can tell. And they are in panic mode.
