Bernstein: FBI Would Not Reopen Case Unless New Evidence Was "A Real Bombshell"

CARL BERNSTEIN: Well, there's no question that the e-mails have always been the greatest threat to her candidacy for president, that her conduct in regard to the e-mails is really indefensible and if there was going to be more information that came out, it was the one thing, as I said on the air last night, actually that could really perhaps affect this election.

We don't know what this means yet except that it's a real bombshell. And it is unthinkable that the Director of the FBI would take this action lightly, that he would put this letter forth to the Congress of the United States saying there is more information out there about classified e-mails and call it to the attention of congress unless it was something requiring serious investigation. So that's where we are...

Is it a certainty that we won't learn before the election? I'm not sure it's a certainty we won't learn before the election.

One thing is, it's possible that Hillary Clinton might want to on her own initiative talk to the FBI and find out what she can, and if she chooses to let the American people know what she thinks or knows is going on. People need to hear from her...

Looks like Hillarry and I will be drinking tonite for different reasons ..

[lacrew]

I think there is one potential wild card here. The Weiner investigation wasn’t just the feds...it involves NYPD. What if the NYPD found the ‘device’...logged it as evidence...had a tech access it...and found emails that were so obviously classified, that they contacted the FBI.

Could Comey risk ignoring it, or covering it up? At this point, he wouldn’t know for sure whether or not the NYPD made a copy, etc.

[LongWayHome]

Ha....that was me today. Happy.

“Crooked Hillary”.

Trump is a frickin genius!

Moving at glacial speed the FBI and DOJ will conclude this investigation about the time my as yet unborn grandchild graduated college.

[bigbob]

I took a little venture into the DUmp and based on the number of “this is nothingburger” and “this could cost us the first woman president” posts, and the number of F-words, I’d say this news has the DUmmies very rattled.

Stay clear of graveyards, not because of Halloween but because half of Hillary’s supporters are whistling nearby...

[terycarl]

die hard Democrats will vote for her regardless of the evidence. They are Democrats first and Americans somewhere down the line.

[JediJones]

Well I’m sure there’s some college professor out there who claims the missiles are a phallic symbol and just represent men waving their d***s around anyway...

[JonPreston]

I bet Weiner is singing like a canary right about now.

[knarf]

The ONLY way cankles can be seen in public is to pharmacetically deaden her brain to any psychological impact from this announcement which actually ... would be putting her in a coma.

If she freezes with stupid jit, imagine knowing THIS !

[kevao]

I am wondering if the Obama’s saw how much money the Clinton’s were taking and said that’s it.

Yep, Obama wants a piece. The price of Hillary's pardon just went way up. This new investigation is leverage to get the Clintons to pay up handsomely.

[GilGil]

So what! Trump winds easily anyway.

[shotgun]

In the article Bernstein says that Hillary should go the FBI herself and ask Comey what this is all about, then she can come out and tell us what she found out!

Hillary after the meeting: The Director of the FBI just wanted to make sure that my grandkids are fine and we had a nice little chat. As for the emails, I already turned over all the emails in my possession and there was nothing marked classified.

[Pilgrim's Progress]

Especially if he didn’t get his righteous cut! Bad move, ILLARY, bad move.

If we thought she was ill on September 11th, wait until this sinks in.

[GOPBiker]

Apparently Carlos Danger and Huma were sharing a device and the FBI were looking at the device to investigate Carlos and found (some say thousands) of emails for and by Huma.

Not said is how many were/are classified in some way but the chance is great that some were.

So, a disgraced and out-of-work ex-congressman has access to US Government classified information .... what could go wrong?

Carlos, huma and hillery for prison ... do not pass go. This would be so bad that there is no rug big enough to push it under.

[Gamecock]

You can say that again!

[Scott from the Left Coast]

You need to look behind you and see that gigantic wave cresting. It's just about to hit. This is happening because Trump is winning already. People don't want to go to jail because the Trump administration finds this once it takes office. Attorney General Giuliani won't screw around. This is what victory looks like. Turn around and look, you won't be able to miss it.

[BigpapaBo]

Priceless.
Well done lad
