So, here we stand on the brink of the Presidential election in 2016 with what very well might be the last hope for the Republic, and for reasons nobody seems to quite understand, today the FBI dropped a bombshell on the Clinton campaign.
The BIG QUESTION is Why? Why Now? The obvious answer, that the FBI found additional evidence of criminality on the part of Hillary!® or her minions, flunkies, and stooges is, to say the least, preposterous. Anyone with the IQ of a mollusk has known Hillary!® is as guilty as Benedict Arnold, the Rosenbergs, Aldrich Ames, … OK, pick your favorite (or least favorite) traitor as the case may be. James Comey knew it, too. But after slamming Hillary!® non-stop in his press conference, he ultimately backed off on recommending indictment with his famously tortured reinvention of the espionage statute.
So, she was off the hook. What’s happened?
Here are some theories. Please add your own.
Theory 1: Another agency (or Agency) has been able to verify that someone does indeed have all of the Clinton emails, and has given the FBI the heads up that a shoe is about to drop, and they’d better get ahead of this before the proverbial poop pummels the propeller.
Theory 2: There really are some people left at the Bureau with some integrity, and they’ve threatened to go live. Comey’s calculation then becomes: what hurts more, high profile resignations and or/whistleblowing and all the damage that goes with that, or defenestrating Her Thighness? (That’s “throwing under the bus,” for the illiterate DU’ers lurking here.) No doubt senior FBI officials spilling the beans could hurt Comey, The FBI, the Administration, and Clinton a lot more than today’s FBI statement. And seen in this light, the decision is simple damage control: the best way to put a lid on the insiders threatening Comey is to throw them a small bone that’s going to amount to nothing in a few weeks. And Hillary, like Sauron, “can deal with the little people later.”
Theory 3: The revelations that over a million dollars were laundered to the Deputy Director of the FBI through his wife’s unsuccessful state senate bid was just more than even the corruptocrats at DOJ could stand. [Right. OK. I know, I know. Over 90% of the people at DOJ have donated to or openly support Clinton, so this theory is about as dead on arrival as the Phlogiston theory of Combustion. I mean, really, a woman who can stand up in front of the country and claim that her 30 years in public service – which have netted her and her corrupt family a quarter of a billion dollars -- have been a “sacrifice,” simply has no shame. And neither does anyone who supports her. Still, just throwing it out…]
Theory 4: The folks handling the Weiner investigation actually did discover some things, and given how ridiculous the whole probe into Anthony Weiner was, these folks may have been lower level agents who haven’t yet been “made men” in The Clinton Global Crime Family. As a result, what they found on Huma Abedin’s computer threatened to reveal some of the things that Comey and the more senior FBI agents and DOJ lawyers had already deep-sixed with their generous immunity deals and deliberate spoliation of evidence. Again, as with Theory #2, today’s announcement is simply a way to get a lid on the new evidence, destroy it, and let the whole thing blow over. [And if you threw up in your mouth a little bit at either or both of the phrases “Weiner investigation” or “Probe into Anthony Weiner,” you are most certainly not alone, believe you me.]
Theory 5: This is basically an extrapolation of the position taken by Ed Klein in his book Guilty as Sin in which he paints a very sympathetic picture of James Comey: Straight shooter, family man, devout Catholic.
All the Good Stuff.
According to Klein, Comey was allowed to run a full, complete, and straight-up investigation of Hillary Clinton. In the meantime, 0bama was leveraging this investigation against Hillary!® behind the scenes. He really does hate the Clintons, and he tried desperately to get Joe Biden to run, and failing that attempted to persuade Fauxcahontas (or is it Lie-a-watha?) Anyway, Joe is too old, too tired, and too devastated by the death of his son, and Princess Cherokee-Cheekbones is not really much of a politician and was not the least bit interested in getting in the oncoming headlights of the Clinton Smear Machine. When he realized he wouldn’t be able to get either of them – or anyone else of standing -- on board he told Lynch to shut down the FBI investigation.
In Klein’s theory, Lynch told Comey that if he recommended indictment, she would try the case in such a way that Hillary would be acquitted. The result, anathema to Comey’s sensibilities, would be that he and the Bureau would be disgraced, having inserted himself and a supposedly apolitical law enforcement organization into a presidential race running full throttle in a partisan manner, and that from the acquittal Hillary would emerge inoculated from future examination, and stronger than ever.
This theory explains why Comey took the unprecedented step of laying her guilt out before the whole world only to pull back the football with a bizarre legal theory at the last moment. And it might explain today’s announcement: he’s been trying to do the right thing all along, without having any legal apparatus behind him. This theory explains a lot, but it has problems, not the least of which is Comey’s dubious clearing of the Clinton Global Crime Family on two previous occasions, and the financial connections he and his family have enjoyed to “The Foundation.”
Personally, I think a lot of Klein’s argument makes sense, but frankly is too clever by half. I think the part about 0bama wanting somebody else is true. I think the part about him allowing the investigation to go on to pressure both Clinton (to not run) and her potential rivals (to run) is also true. And certainly the part about telling Lynch to pull the plug – if he even needed to – is true as well. But I stop right there, because I believe Comey has been in on The Fix from the git-go.
So, what think you, fellow insomniacs and deep thinkers? Is James Comey a latter-day Thomas More, hoping to tightrope walk the damning moral hazard on one side of the abyss and the dangerous personal consequences for himself on the other? Or is he Thomas Cromwell, the kind of corrupt enabler that every tyrant requires?
Personally, I believe it’s the latter; and I believe that whatever motivates today’s announcement, it has been done for one reason and one reason only: someone higher up the food chain than Hillary Clinton is potentially exposed by new revelations, and this is the least damaging way to make them go away. And hey, a country that elected He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Middle-Named twice, might just go ahead and elect Hillary in spite of all the criminality.
I don't see any rational and PRINCIPLED reason for yesterday's letter to Congress, and I believe Comey is as crooked as Crooked. The July public announcement was purely political, for the political benefit of Crooked. Weasels don't change their stripes.

Above is a link from Sept. showing how the NYPD got into the enitre thing solely on the actions of the Weiner and how nasty/crazy he is.

here’s more:
Investigators got their hands on Huma Abedin’s emails when they searched a laptop that she jointly used with her husband, Anthony Weiner.
But the FBI will have to go to court to obtain a warrant in order to examine those emails, NBC reported Friday.
It’s unknown when that warrant will be obtained – and how long it’ll take the FBI to go through thousands of Abedin’s emails if it’s granted.
Weiner allegedly used the laptop to exchange sexually explicit messages and photos with an underage teen in North Carolina.
Investigators have been looking into Weiner’s relationship with that 15-year-old girl.

Hussein can pardon himself. Traitor Roberts is going to step up and stop it?
infact, anyone describing themselves as "devout" I think I'll back away....
a devout Catholic does not lie nor cheat...
Also class of 1998.
I’m wondering if Comey saw evidence incriminating Hillary, but given the time frame of Anthony Weiner’s latest investigation, it is possible that Comey himself is mentioned in the emails directly or indirectly and there is some indication that his head is on Hillary’s block for some time in the future. She tends to bury adversaries. In other words, this includes some aspect of self-preservation.
maybe that's the big thing....they've managed to draw our attention away from getting pubs in office, something we must do in order to impeach her if need be...
God I'm a worrier....
please dear Lord....help us down here....help us elect Trump....
but the rank and file might have stuff that they will willingly pass on to others....
we'll see....
Director Comey really needs to explain exactly why Mr. Weiner has not been arrested yet. The FBI must have assembled their set of facts about him weeks ago, if not months ago.
There is only one question at this point how many copies have been made of the secret and confidential e mails that huma erased the s or c on.If the NYPD has enough copies they can save the day if they don’t we are looking at a really tight election.
NYPD’s only hope is to get big numbers at the bottom supporting those investigating carlos danger/huma.
YET....
It’s pretty extraordinary because Secretary Clinton has an extraordinary email arrangement with herself,” Gowdy said. “And she’s the author of her own destiny. Everything that has happened since then, it is the natural probable consequence of deciding you’re going to have a rogue email system. So, I understand she’s upset and I understand she doesn’t like the timing but she need not look further than herself.”
And what happens to all of our theories about Comey when we bring into the mix the fact that Comey’s brother is Auditor for the Clinton Foundation? How does that impact the situation? A tangled web, for sure.
I think the cops (maybe not at the highest ranks) love Trump. They hate Hillary who always sides with BLM who hates LEOs. If they have the info and power to take out Hillary, I figure they’ll do it.
When they discovered the emails on Carlos Danger’s laptop, there’s a chance they took it to Trump’s attorneys before anyone else. Wouldn’t that be cool?
We were told that there would be a Revolution within FBI if Killary skated.!!!
Maybe even dismantle this election for a third or more terms for Soetoro ???
Slick Willy/Loretta Lynch at the tarmac in Phoenix did it !!!
Good stuff. Me, I think Comey is trying to cover Obama’s ass.
Today the Illary camp will roll out the Russians did it in a big way. The Russians loaded the fake emails on to Huma’s computer that she gave to Weiner.
That would have been a brilliant move lets hope it happened.
If trumps campaign has copies of what is on huma/carlos dangers laptop the clinton mob is through.
1. Hillary is guilty as sin. Many, many very serious crimes.
2. The FBI “investigation” was a sham designed to let her off anyway.
3. EVEN IF new information has been found, it does not change anything.
Any and all new information could be easily covered up, just like everything else. Hillary is guilty as sin, the FBI knows it, and new information would not change anything.
4. So this cannot be because new information was found.
5. After the in-your-face coverup Comey already engineered, I don’t believe he suddenly found his integrity.
6. So.. SOMETHING changed.
It must be very big, and it is NOT new evidence.
This was not done lightly or by accident. It took someone with a LOT of power to make it happen.
This decision was not made to help Trump or our country. Something else is afoot.
