“Is the tin foil that’s wrapped around my head too tight, or is this “re-opening” of the FBI investigation perhaps a means to draw attention away from Wikileaks? I’ve seen such a comment a few times in social media, hence why I ask it.”
I don’t agree. If anything, it will INCREASE attention to Wikileaks...that’s what led to the re-opening of this case (which even the media can’t hide).
“B/c, let’s face it, nothing will come out of the FBI “investigation”...”
Not so sure about that. Oh, nothing will happen before 11/8, to be certain. But I think that Comey can read the tea leaves, that he’s sure now that Trump will win...and he was on HSBC’s board when US Attorney Loretta Lynch decided not to prosecute anyone at HSBC for money-laundering, but only to penalize them about 5 weeks of profits. There’s a very tangled web there, and I think that Comey would be happy to just resign his position come January and live as a free man who can make lots of money writing books and consulting (while Hillary languishes in jail).
Just my $0.02.
