Honestly?
I think that there was an internal “revolt”. Since laptops belonging to the Clinton crew were not destroyed, there was some faction there that kept stuff under wraps ( and saw things that they knew should have been made public, and pressured the director to open it back up “or else”.
I think then the WH and the Justice Department pressured him to cut corners and cut this short. As people have said, there is no way to go through those emails THAT quick. I’m thinking agents that wanted to do it right were screwed with the whole way through, and in the end he overruled the agents and “closed” this. Perhaps the WH said they would give him cover. Maybe the guy is just exhausted. His career is as good as over. No one likes or respects him.
Now that he’s done this, it’s a matter of if the agents will drop the other shoe and when.
Makes sense, but to what end? The entire investigation centers around one person, and one Presidential election and that is Clinton being elected. There are no other issues, Did this about face 48 hrs. before help her or hurt her? I am telling you this.......if I were on the fence about voting for Hillary because of email scandals and doubt about her honesty and a twelfth hour announcement came that she had once again been cleared, I would vote for her.
