There is no question that re-opening the FBI Investigation into Hillary Clintons 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

I think it's the most damaging, far beyond the 3 listed.
I think that there is highest-level SAP information that is so damaging that it would set off virtual declarations of war, breakoffs of int'l relations against the US. Black ops, assassinations, Libyan weapons trafficking, and the like.
That's actually #1 in the article, if you read it.
But, another possibility: one or more FBI whistleblowers are talking to Congress already, and it was about to explode.
Making this announcement now got Congress to give Comey a little longer to bury it until after the election.
You all have it wrong. Hillary is a clear danger to the Republic. And because of that she must be stopped at all costs. Wikileaks is a front for our intel and defense community through which the corruption was exposed to a large amount of the population. This along with exposes of Comey’s dirt deals from patriotic FBI agents who have exposed him have put a vice on the corrupt NWO cabal in our government. In the light of all of this Comey is doing what he is doing because he has been threatened by our military leaders to do so or face the music if they act overtly against the government.
Me neither. It's like saying, "Hey, she took bribes, committed grand larceny and treason, yes, but pay no attention to the news coming out next week that she's an arsonist and murderer, too."
This news will only draw more attention and reinforce whatever O'Keefe and Assange release in the next few days.
“I think Weiner is taking Weiner vengence and is officially throwing his soon to be ex and her lover under the bus.”
At a minimum, Weiner and Huma separated, that happened with the last incident with Weiner, maybe they filed for divorce, I don’t know.
American gubmint = Criminal cartel.
Comet would not go to extraordinary lengths unless it was bad.
You are the most accurate on here.
option #5) Andrew McCabe threatened to come clean regarding who offered $675,000 to his wifes campaign if the original investigation was squashed
option #6) Comey had a jesus moment and finally realized what his actions were doing to this country.
However, any wildlife biologist will tell you that rats have tails in order to maintain their balance when deserting sinking ships.
I have a feeling Comey's tail told him the polls are wrong and a political earthquake is coming in a few days. So, he moved accordingly.
Look like really investigating so can say nothing there end of next week
Comey should recuse himself.
He and his brothers conflict of interest with the Clinton Foundation should be a no brainier
I’ll go with 3.
It is possible that something so dramatic came up in the pertinent emails that postponing a public reaction by not announcing the reopening of the investigation would, be regarded as political interference by covering up a smoking gun until after the election. In this scenario, Comey is assuming the evidence cannot be suppressed, and that he would be held accountable after it comes out. This scenario also indicates that we could be headed for a constitutional crisis, involving the possible indictment of a president-elect before an election. Or the evidence being turned over to the House of Representatives for impeachment hearings
Not to be racist but the jig is up
Number 2
They know Hillary is losing..
Weiner has flipped, bank on it.
I can't even open it because of pop-up ads or something else that locks up my internet connection.
I love Hugh Galyean’s letter to Comey, it’s a classic!
Bkmk
You know Comey would rather not do this, so it has to be of such huge magnitude that it simply cannot be allowed to slide.
