In the aftermath of the so-called Cocktober surprise unveiled this afternoon by the FBI when the bureau announced it was reopening a probe into Hillary Clinton's email server because "new evidence has come to light" after "materials" were found on equipment belonging to Anthony Weiner and Huma Abedin, the question on everyone's lips - and certainly Hillary Clinton's and most democrats - is why did the FBI do this now, 11 days before the election, in a way that did not even coordinate with the White House?
One opinion belongs to Watergate journalist Carl Bernstein, who just days after his infamous peer Bob Woodward said that the "Clinton foundation is corrupt, it's a scandal" said 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..."

Best. Erection. Ever.
How about the real professionals in the FBI were about to walk and talk. Presented the ultimatum and Comey backed down. There is too much anecdotal evidence of the career people being very pissed because it is their careers and dedication to the country that is being sullied.
I so wish that berstien puke had an early morning business meeting in the world trade center 9/11 2001
I don't think so. This story has pushed that Trump-has-a-foul-mouth story permanently into the background. These emails will be the main topic for at least the next week.
“If we had real journalists today we wouldn’t be where we are now.”
Perfect. Just perfect.
...furthermore, let’s hope the judge hands down a stiff sentence.
There is no way this has anything to do with Scalia? When I think bombshell, I imagine a lot.

That was my thought. She has lost the Praetorian guard.
Why do any of you suppose that Comey said that he did not know if there was anything of any significance in the emails, or is that simply media spin?
The consensus over at DU is that this whole thing is Obama’s fault for keeping Comey (republican) on as FBI Director. Little said re HRC’s actions.
If this wasn’t damning information, the FBI would not have said a thing...This has to be something so bad that the FBI doesn’t want it to get out to the public without their investigation...
If it wasn’t dangerous to Clinton or the country, they would’ve ignored it...
Nate Silver is saying this is nothing, and she still has a 76% chance of winning.
Comey is not a Republican. He is a Democrat who happened to be asked to serve in the GW administration. Matt Sclapp threw water on that lie earlier today because he was there beforehand.
Hillary never did put much stock in the old saying "Be nice to people on the way up. Because you'll meet them again on the way down."
....specially since the sweater belt maven has been singing backup With Pocahontas Warren
They will get kicked off of DU if they criticize Hillary. This became the policy after bernie was cheated out of the nomination. Prior to that, the bbots were almost as bad to Killary as we are... They are all being compelled to tow the line, now
Then O is catching hell for the wrong reason.
