Bernstein: FBI Would Not Reopen Case Unless New Evidence Was "A Real Bombshell"
Real Clear Politics ^ | 10/28/2016 | Tim Hains

Posted on 10/28/2016 1:41:19 PM PDT by GilGil

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...

I believe Trump is going to win.

But we have been down this path before with these investigations.

It does some good in that if forces the MSM to find ways to defend Hillary instead of attacking Trump.

But the only way to end Hillary is on Nov.8th with a resounding Trump victory.

Perhaps the FBI will finally take down Ma Barker.

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.

Yep. And Hellary's emails get on there along Huma's, Podesta's, and the rest of the operative flunkies.

I don’t think it matters when it concludes. She will deal with this AND THE CONJECTURE AND LEAKS that will accompany it until election day.

YOU need to buck up, soldier !

A bit of realistic optimism costs nothing, improves the morale of your fellow soldiers, and adds nothing to the enemy's stockpile of gloating.

And it's not personal FRiend, as there's a hundred of you on here right now spreading the same defeatist 'concern'.

If you're proven right, then is the time for dishing out the crow.

In the meantime, try seeing that glass as half full, ehh ?

I’ve got good money (a little deflated by Obama’s printing, but still...) that says Huma is fervently checking on flights to Qatar.

In two days the MSM will have a poll showing that this hasn’t hurt Hillary at all.

Taking them in order.

1. Being a candidate or a president does not by default grant immunity prosecution. With that said there’s nothing that says she can’t pardon herself if elected.

2. If HRC were to be imprisoned or resign her candidacy before the election, the dem party would select a replacement. Kaine would be a possible choice but is in no way a legal requirement. If she resigns or is impeached after becoming president, VP Kaine would take over per the constitution.

3. I know of no legal provision to delay the election.

Maybe they think it will distract us from looking at WikiLeaks.

I am not being defeatist, I believe Trump is going to win.

But this constant hope that Hillary is going down with various investigations has always proven ill founded.

How many things has she been investigated for!

She is protected by the MSM.

Only the voters can finish her.

Bernstein, the bombshells were out there on the table. Unfortunately for you Leftists, the American public was on to Comey and the rest of you.

The public isn't as blind as they were in Nixon's day. How about that!

They now see you folks for EXACTLY who you are, and you're not fooling anyone you clown.

For those of a philosophical bent I propose that if Hillary is indeed undone by compartmented information and schlong selfies sent to an underage recipient on the cellphone of one Tony Wiener, it constitutes a proof of the existence of God’s sense of humor. Discuss.

She will be indicted the week after the election, if not before.

There are several hands here. The SVU of the NYPD and its IT people, if they got the computers and devices first. There is a lot oF anger at DeBlasio in the service so that may transfer to Clinton, but one of the primR players is the office of the NYS AG, Schneidermann, who is all but a dues paying Red. So it is doubtful he would have let this get out, even to the FBI.
