Revived Hillary probe makes Trump presidency a real possibility
NY POST ^ | October 29, 2016 | Michael Goodwin

It looks as if the gods finally got sick of her.

Maybe it was the web of sleaze revealed by WikiLeaks or her brash talk of making nutty Joe Biden secretary of state.

Or maybe Hillary Clinton just ignored too many maxims, including the one that if you lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas. (No offense to real dogs, ­because Anthony Weiner is a lower species.)

Whatever the breaking point, fate jumped aboard the Trump Train yesterday. Because Big Mo already was a passenger, there is now a growing chance that Donald Trump will be America’s 45th president.

We can’t know for sure what will happen in 10 days, but some things are certain. One is that events have a vote and the FBI letter to Congress is the most dramatic event in a campaign that has been positively bursting with them.

October surprises don’t get any bigger.

Suddenly, the “Access Hollywood” tape doesn’t look so crucial. And the certainty that Dems would take both houses of Congress dissolves into illusion.

And it’s largely because FBI ­Director James Comey, who recently gave Clinton new life by not prosecuting her, is reopening a wound as well as an investigation. His letter, though brief and shy on details, tells us enough to reinforce the widely held conviction that Clinton remains dishonest and untrustworthy, even with the FBI.

Donald Trump and Mike Pense are an incredible pair. Trump says that Pense is an independent operator whose judgement he trusts. He has often times polar opposite views from DT but he Always Always complements Trumps viewpoints.

I’m very impressed with these two


Concur; pray without ceasing that God has mercy on us and enables them to be our next President and Vice President and lead us in wisdom, understanding, and knowledge that we may repent as a nation and be a blessing to all our citizens and neighbors.

F**k you Goodwin, you’ve been a #Never Trump since he hit the trail. I sued to read the NY Post but it’s turned into a neocon broadsheet.

I think it’s the other way around.

I think it was the probability of a Trump win that forced Comey to re-open the probe.

Repenting is the key word here.

The bible says that the kindness of the Lord leads unto repentance. It’s not like we are being beaten into obeying a Simon Legree figure. That’s the devil’s game. God lets it happen to some people for a season in order that they can better understand that serving Him is better. But God never willingly grieves the sons of men.

I already know that if America stops long enough to face the Lord, it will find a kindness that will shock it. It might even seem too easy. But this is the only way true salvation can look. We can’t pride ourselves on a single step of it.

There is no early voting in PA.

CO and NV are incredibly important to Trump’s path to 270 and are swing states, so he was going to be there campaigning regardless.

Agreed that MI and NM appear to be renewed as battleground states judging by the Trump campaign saying they’re tied in internal polling.

Maybe. Intrigue is intriguing isn’t it.

But at least being able to save face will give them a reason to reduce the cooking to a simmer, if not turn the stove off altogether. It could be providence too. The Democrats can blame the FBI and the righties, and cease from supporting the unsupportable, while continuing to be sympathetic to it.

NH and ME are not expanding the map. They are states that are part of the handful of possibilities to make up for VA not being in play for the GOP this year.

NM, WI or MI would be expanding the map for Trump and have not been in the obvious paths to victory so far.

I believe the “revived Hillary probe” is due to the likelihood of a Trump Presidency.

"October surprises don’t get any bigger. "

Indisputably the most impactful revelation in the history of Presidential politics.

Isn’t it a hoot!

Trump was already winning, the election was breaking for him, he had Hillary running to defend Wisconsin and Michigan.

All this does is take away the delicious shocked faces in State Controlled Media on the night of Nov. 8.

The Left’s delusions crumbled away early...and they get to go through their stages of grief before the election now.

“Trump was already winning, the election was breaking for him, he had Hillary running to defend Wisconsin and Michigan.”

My sentiments exactly, as I believe Trump was going to win in an election LANDSLIDE before this new broke.

This will be used as a battering ram for the next four years to say Trump’s landslide mandate was illegitimate. Mark my words.
