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..."

Let the guilty be exposed and HELD ACCOUNTANLE. A slap on the wrist will not do, but the severest type of punishment that meets the crime in order to set an example, or else we can expect the same crap to happen in the future again.

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

Given the circumstances, wouldn't you also expect that Comey got the "green light" from a higher authority to re-open the case?

So, howi does Obumba benefit from this development...???

Stay tuned to the B.E.E. Comey has a history of helping the Clintoons. Who knows? Certainly not me.

No matter where this goes, this can’t be good for Hillary. Remember when Stephanapolis called the Larry King show with guest George H.W. Bush as his guest a few days before the election with Bill Clinton and brought up some old news about a probe with Casper Weinberg and presented as if it was new stuff? Bush lost about 4 per centage points because of it.

The Friday night and Saturday news dumps about Trump’s “women” didn’t exactly become forgotten.

Wasn’t it after the gotcha question with Matt Laur where Hillary had her temper tantrum backstage and said, “If I lose, we all go down and that Fascist F**k will have us swinging from nooses!”??? From her lips to God’s ears......

Such a total setup...remember it well including Kings "Gee we don't screen...anyone can call in" line. One of the awakening moments of my eyes opening to press bias.

Another one: Watching Ollie North during the Iran-Contra hearings and thinking, yeah, guys seems like a boy scout and a straightshooter...and then watching the news and hearing that he was a dishonest lying crook.

If Hillary loses, Obama becomes the leader of the Democrat party. Expect to see Hillary’s people ejected in favor of the Chicago machine.

“I’m starting to think Huma’s computer shows classified emails shared with Muslim brotherhood.”

Wondering the same thing myself. And wondering could Clinton be in on it. Spilling the beans for cash.

Hey, thanks! A little off-color, but not if I’m using a stereotypical Chinese accent!
