Watergate's Carl Bernstein: FBI Wouldn't Reopen A Probe Unless It Is "A Real Bombshell"
zerohedge.com ^ | Oct 28, 2016

Posted on 10/28/2016 7:52:49 PM PDT by Helicondelta

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..."

I’m going to take a guess here, but I think there are emails from Comey to lawyers of Hillary existing from late last year to spring of this year. I think that WikiLeaks has them and realization has come to Comey that he’ll be confronted as sabotaging his own agency’s investigation.

Whatever it is, it will throw a flame on the FBI’s first “pseudo investigation”...

A nice irony, that after a quarter-century of putting up with these grifting swingers, the Clintons, they may finally be hoisted up on a pervert’s pet .... ard.

I believe this. We need our Father’s help (always).
There is evil on earth, we have all seen or read about its drive to destroy. Hillary, imo, defines this. Her core, via her actions, is visible and with power of WH behind her, threatens our foundations on every level.
She is evil.
Remember AlamoGirl and the Clinton Chronicles? Raw,horrific evil.

I find it hard to believe that the FBI and its Director would risk their places in history over something that is objectively trivial.

Some one in that organization thinks this is a big deal, or they wouldn’t effectively halt the Presidential campaign to make it public.

Comey has quite a history of covrring up Clintoon schenaggans. I don’t trust him to act in the interests of America.

Who is left in the DNC with ANY integrity that could make that long walk up the driveway of one of Hillary's lavishly expensive safe houses and tell her she need to step down?

Live by analyzing polls, die by analyzing polls. So far it’s the elections that have consequences.

Comey is a political hack and Dirty Cop. Perhaps he now sees that Trump will win based on inside info and wants to preserve his hide.
