Watergate's Carl Bernstein: FBI Wouldn't Reopen A Probe Unless It Is "A Real Bombshell"
zerohedge.com ^ | Oct 28, 2016

Posted on 10/28/2016 7:52:49 PM PDT by Helicondelta

In the aftermath of the so-called Cocktober surprise unveiled this afternoon by the FBI when the bureau announced it was reopening a probe into Hillary Clinton's email server because "new evidence has come to light" after "materials" were found on equipment belonging to Anthony Weiner and Huma Abedin, the question on everyone's lips - and certainly Hillary Clinton's and most democrats - is why did the FBI do this now, 11 days before the election, in a way that did not even coordinate with the White House?

One opinion belongs to Watergate journalist Carl Bernstein, who just days after his infamous peer Bob Woodward said that the "Clinton foundation is corrupt, it's a scandal" said that "her conduct in regard to the e-mails is really indefensible and if there was going to be more information that came out, it was the one thing, as I said on the air last night, actually that could really perhaps affect this election. We don't know what this means yet except that it's a real bombshell. And it is unthinkable that the Director of the FBI would take this action lightly, that he would put this letter forth to the Congress of the United States saying there is more information out there about classified e-mails and call it to the attention of congress unless it was something requiring serious investigation. So that's where we are..."

Everyone under suspicion should leave the country and not come back for 4 years. Put a freeze on their bank accounts so that they can’t live it up in the South of France. Save us money. Guilt will be assumed. With Pence they will be gone for 16 years.

After hearing for months words such as game changer, she’s finished, it’s over, and bombshell with nothingness happening, maybe this is really a bombshell.

“Cocktober surprise”. Does this mean they have hard evidence that will stand up in court?^

Wow. Even Woodward and Bernstein.

Not enough popcorn in the universe for this.

The Democrats have only themselves to blame. They nominated and ran a known pathologically lying criminal.

Why didn’t they coordinate with the Obama staff?

Maybe they had a sudden attack of professionalism.

Carl Bernstein is a journalist?

I thought he was an adulterer who claimed to be having root canal work when in fact he was screwing one of his girlfriends. It’s all described in detail in Nora Ephron’s book. She was Mrs. Bernstein at one time.

Carl also once stole a horse and buggy from in front of the Plaza Hotel in NYC. So he’s a horse thief too. Yes, alcohol was involved in that incident and other incidents as well.
