Oct 28, 2016 The FBI has reopened its investigation into Hillary Clinton’s secret emails, Director James Comey told Congressin a new letter Friday, heightening the stakes for the Democratic presidential nominee with less than two weeks before Election Day. Mr. Comey said his agents learned of new emails “pertinent” to their probe while working on an unrelated case. He said his agents need to review those messages to see whether they contain classified information and whether they affect his previous decision. In July, Mr. Comey announced that while he determined Mrs. Clinton did mishandle classified information, she was too inept to know the risks she was running, so he couldn’t prove she did it intentionally — undercutting the chance to make a criminal case stick. His new announcement Friday threatened to upend the presidential campaign. “Perhaps, finally, justice will be done,” GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump said at a rally in Manchester, New Hampshire, saying he respected the FBI for reversing itself. Congressional Republicans, who have been at odds with Mr. Trump on many issues, found common ground with their nominee in attacking Mrs. Clinton. “This decision, long overdue, is the result of her reckless use of a private email server, and her refusal to be forthcoming with federal investigators,” said House Speaker Paul D. Ryan. He again called for the Obama administration to suspend the classified intelligence briefings Mrs. Clinton is getting as the Democratic nominee. And Sen. John Cornyn, Texas Republican, wondered whether the Justice Department will now convene a grand jury to pursue the case. FBI had already cleared Mrs. Clinton of mishandling classified information, so to reopen the case suggests either potential new evidence of intent to mishandle secrets, or other potential criminal questions. “Originally FBI focused on ‘classification rules’ and not broader issues related to government records/obstruction of justice. Will they now?” Mr. Cornyn tweeted. Republicans have said Mrs. Clinton appeared to mislead Congress in her sworn testimony to the Benghazi probe in 2015. The staggering reversal by Mr. Comey comes as Mrs. Clinton is reeling from another electronic scandal — the revelations from emails obtained and posted by WikiLeaks from her campaign chairman, John Podesta. Republicans in Congress who were told of the FBI’s decision quickly alerted the country. House Oversight Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz tweeted: “FBI Dir just informed me, ‘The FBI has learned of the existence of emails that appear to be pertinent to the investigation.’ Case reopened.” Mr. Comey didn’t say what the new emails showed, how they were obtained, nor how long it will take to evaluate them. He said he felt obligated to alert Congress. The revelation comes too late to affect millions of voters, who have already cast ballots in absentee or in-person voting. An FBI spokesman declined Friday to comment on the reopening of the investigation. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news...c&utm_medium=twitter&utm_source=socialnetwork
Oct 28, 2016 Although I'm pretty sure this will result in nothing for obvious reasons, I do think that a lot of the FBI is not okay with the special treatment Hillary received, which has been incredibly damaging to their public image...not that their image was that great to begin with.
Oct 28, 2016 Case isn't being re-opened, just re-examining a few new e-mails. https://thinkprogress.org/the-fbi-d...less-than-the-media-wants-you-to-aa61e81e5a97
Oct 28, 2016 In other words, she wants full-disclosure. This doesn't sound like someone that has something to hide.
Oct 28, 2016 if anything she received negative special treatment. http://www.politico.com/story/2016/10/ex-doj-spokesman-blast-james-comey-230459 Ol' Comey has made this excruciating for Hillary by dragging every misleading/vague public detail out. Why do you think the backlash was so severe when he recommended no charges? Everyone was certain she was guilty already just from the tiny bits of info coming out then!
Oct 28, 2016 “In July, Mr. Comey announced that while he determined Mrs. Clinton did mishandle classified information, she was too inept to know the risks she was running.” Ignorantia legis neminem excusat.
Oct 28, 2016 This is naive, and rather ignorant. Hillary has many things to hide, but she might have already concluded that the emails are inconsequential. This likely won't become much. I think you guys should focus your energy on trying prosecute Hillary for the corruption relating to the clinton foundation.
Oct 28, 2016 Obviously I was referring to this specific issue. Go ahead, try the Clinton foundation as well. There's nothing there.
Oct 28, 2016 So we just gonna ignore the fact FBI reopened the case because an obese German (Kim dot com - owner of Megaupload) tweeted that Hillary's emails could be found on an NSA cloud server, all they needed was a subpoena
Oct 29, 2016 Saudia Arabia donating millions of dollars to a humanitarian movement formed by an American self proclaimed feminist. Nothing suspicious there.
Oct 29, 2016 You do realize that numerous federal agencies had to sign off on donations made to the Clinton foundation when she was Secretary of State, right? I believe it was 8 federal agencies reviewed every donation made to her charity during her time as Secretary of State. None of them found any evidence of any wrong doing.
