The FBI is reopening its investigation into Hillary Clinton's private email server.

 Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) tweeted Friday morning: "FBI Dir just informed me, 'The FBI has learned of the existence of emails that appear to be pertinent to the investigation.' Case reopened."

Moments later, NBC News reported that the agency was reopening the investigation and shared a letter from FBI director James Comey informing key lawmakers of the investigation.

“Emails on Weiner’s device “number in the thousands”.”

Maybe Julian Assange has Weiner’s and/or Huma’s, emails and was/is going to release them next week. Assange says he is going to release emails next week that would get Hillary arrested. The thlot plickens.

This is smoke and mirrors to distract away from the really bad stuff coming out in the wikileaks dump. The news will be talking about the FBI email investigation, wikileaks will get ignored, and comey will never prosecute

My question is can the election be delayed ?

Anthony Weiner - the gift that keeps on giving.

My question is can the election be delayed ?

The election is already well underway, FRiend.

Millions and millions of votes have already been cast and besides, the election is in the hands of the States, not the execrable fedgov.

According to Trump, this is bigger than Watergate. He is right but he forgot one modifier: FAR bigger.

[JamesP81]

They have something serious against her and are afraid of looking verrrryyyy dirty.

Too late for that.

[JamesP81]

My guess is that “professional FBI agents” recommended the investigation be reopened when the new emails were found and Comey had no choice but to agree.

Most FBI agents are good decent people.

In the past I've stated that FBI agents who are angry about the refusal to prosecute her need to take action, otherwise it's meaningless talk.

I'd like to believe we are seeing the results of action on their part. I don't know, but I want it to be true.

I’ve read where obama may give Hillary a presidential pardon. But I was wondering how he could pardon her for something she hasn’t been charged with. Wouldn’t that then be admitting her guilt before the charges?

Gerald Ford pardoned Nixon before Nixon was charged with anything or impeached. The precedent has been established and no one has yet challenged it.

Thanks for the clarification. I didn’t hear Rush’s quote myself - I based my reaction on the apparent (mis)quote I read here on FR.

What are they saying at DU ?

Here's a very small sampling:

70. I voted for Clinton on Monday. But even if that were the case, and I saw this news, I'd go out to the polls and vote for her again. This is just republican garbage being thrown at Hillary because they know they don't have a prayer of electing Trump through legitimate means. It's a smear job, pure and simple.

102. WHY would the FBI put this out 10 days before an election ? Does he even realize what kind of shit storm this starts ? Obama should ask for his resignation, the case was closed.

112. F**K this country. F**K the FBI. Just a total con job by the GOP. Good luck USA with this mess. This is just remarkable how f**ked up this country is ...period. I'm just sick as hell. This country now will be run by the deplorable fools. FBI what a f**K joke of a agency. 11 days and now this after they closed the email case. I'm not sure anybody in Washington understands how emails have changed over the past 15 years. Hillary got a hose job of the century. Our country will pay for this forever. I'm over 68 but I feel really bad for my children and grandchildren. I can't take anymore of this insanity !!!!!!!

117. Okay. Let's say Comey has her dead to right...way worse than we ever could imagine. Big deal. She still is getting elected. And I don't to sound icy like I am "not" with her but what can they really do? Make her resign. What happens then ? We have President Kaine? I'll take that. New VP? Elizabeth Warren, maybe.

143. Just heard the new emails may have come from Anthony Weiner's devices. Hope to God Huma was not sending damaging info or anything classified to that lech. Weiner I think is being investigated for sending nasty pictures to minors. That would be the unrelated investigation Comey is talking about.

This is Yuuge!

[metmom]

I don’t know but if they try they will be really shooting themselves in the foot.

I think that would definitely push some undecideds over the edge and probably wake up and turn away many other dems who maybe still underneath are reasonable people.

[metmom]

Yes, but precent isn’t written in stone.

It would be interesting if it went to the Supreme court.

I don’t think the citizens of this country will be taking this laying down if they try to delay the elections.

[SgtHooper]

That crossed my mind as well. But I bet Huma has waaaaay too much on Hitlery.

[M Kehoe]

LOCK HER UP! LOCK HER UP! LOCK HER UP! LOCK HER UP!

I wonder if it was getting to the point where Comey knew that the Wikileaks releases would absolutely positively expose indictable offences and they thought it would be better to get it out now rather than 5 days before the election in hopes of giving Hillary and the MSM time to smooth it out before the election.

Comey and the rest of the top rung of the FBI need to be sacked ASAP so that no more immunity is given to guilty individuals or evidence is destroyed.

[Rockitz]

Comey's worried that Trump will actually win and start prosecuting everybody that's been shilling for Hillary.

There's probably a lot of truth in that also.

[kempster]

My bet is there is going to be an EMail than implicates the FBI Director and he is trying to do damage control ahead of the news.
