There is no question that re-opening the FBI Investigation into Hillary Clinton’s email server is a big deal. The FBI normally avoids acting just before an election in order to avoid charges of political manipulation. NBC reports:
The FBI is reviewing a new batch of Hillary Clinton emails, bureau director James Comey said in a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee on Friday.
"In connection with an unrelated case, the FBI has learned of the existence of emails that appear to be pertinent to the investigation … I agreed that the FBI should take appropriate investigative steps designed to allow investigators to review these emails to determine whether they contain classified information, as well as to assess their importance to our investigation," he wrote.
The very first thing to note is that Comey made no mention of a grand jury. The emails whose existence he learned of may have been the result of a subpoena in another investigation. If that is the case, further subpoenas are quite possible, a tool that was left unused in the investigation to date.
There are 3 competing theories as to why he might be doing this now that come to mind.
He might be seeking to restore his badly damaged reputation, recognizing that the damage he has inflicted on the FBI is substantial. Three days ago, American Thinker published an open letter from a retired FBI Agent, Hugh

#4. Maybe a significant enough group of investigators threatened to very publicall quit
2. Rush Limbaugh today discussed an alternative theory, that by announcing an FBI Investigation resuming, Comey is putting a lid on further attention to Wikileaks.
makes no sense to me....wikileaks is still going to receive a lot of attention...
They know there is professional misconduct and very well could be brought up on RICO charges if they do not.
The election is over now. This is about Hillary being thrown under the bus to minimize damage to the globalists, protect some Democrat powerbrokers, and keep their presidential chances alive for 2020.
My question is what other potentially damaging info does the dnc have on Trump? If they’ve got it they will play it to get this story off the news.
1) He knows WikiLeaks or someone else has the info and it’s going to become public.
2) The highest echelon leadership of the Democrat Party decided they can’t save Hillary and they are trying to force her out of the race.
3) Comey has concluded Trump will win, and his will be the first name taken and ass kicked.
My early guess is number 3....or something close to it. Whatever it is, the damage is done. Trump just needs to repeat day after day we can’t elect someone under investigation that will be impeached
They found FBI Director Comey’s balls in Hillary’s lock box and are investigating whether they can be reattached.
I think Weiner is taking Weiner vengence and is officially throwing his soon to be ex and her lover under the bus.
Going for broke here, but my money is on Option 3.
My opinion, is the Comey, in light of the damaging Wikileaks emails, knowing more and more damaging ones are coming, is putting a fig leaf on the FBI. He is reopening the case to 1) safe face 2) limit the damage to the Rats this close to the election by claiming it is under investigation and cannot be discussed 3) and will continue to do nothing, dropping the case quietly after 9 November if the witch wins, if not, he can claim to be on the team, which he is clearly not.
She won't drop out voluntarily, so this is the Hail Mary pass to get her off the ticket, and replace her with someone more palatable.
I can't see the FBI making a public announcement about this 11 days before the election, unless they thought putting it off would also be considered partisan.
I’ll take theory #3 for 100$, Alex.
I don’t trust Comey at all. My guess is that all discussion is clamped down while there is a pending investigation and then Hillary is cleared of all wrongdoing but somehow Trump gets indicted on interfering with an investigation or some other nonsense on the eve of the election. I don’t put anything past this corrupt bunch.
The MSM is covering this; so it will get exposure, even speculation should hurt her electoral chances.
#3
#5 - Weiner, Bill and Hillary are pedophiles.
