Yeah my theory is :



Supposedly kimdotcom has the 33k deleted emails, sent them to Wikileaks, and tweeted how congress can obtain them legally from the NSA spy cloud to verify the upcoming Wikileaks release of those emails is correct. There is supposedly enough in the emails to bury her.

I thought the above was crack pot conspiracy theory but now it appears the FBI may be covering their ass in anticipation of the Wikileaks drop next week.

I guess we will see.

Edit: it would be hilarious if kimdotcom ended up being her undoing

Wait...I thought the FBI recovered all of the emails from the server. None of this really makes any sense. Why didn't they check with the NSA to begin with? Why would her emails even be in the NSA cloud?

 

[DragonSworne]

Why would the FBI want this?

The FBI wants to stop and frisk terrorists.

NSA has everything. They have been monitoring us since the 90s. Ever wonder why you would hear a clicking noise when you start saying questionable things over the phone? That's NSA.

 

[itxaka]

Or they want voters on the fence to keep wondering if Hillary did something worse that's yet to come to light all the way to the polling stations.

Do people really think that the FBI is in a grand conspiracy against Hillary Clinton?

I don't know what's with this election, but boy, sure it's bringing out the worst from both sides, goddamn. US you are being broken from the inside and you are not noticing it

 

[Blader]

I am sorry, but this woman is just too toxic.

Imagine if it was any other Democrat against loopy Trump? It would have been the biggest cake walk ever.

Anyway no matter who wins the election on the 9th... The rest of the world feels sorry for the US.

It doesn't bode well for partisanship in this country when we're this close to Election Day and there are people who still can't reconcile that 35-40% of the electorate genuinely wants Donald Trump to be president.

 

[Maxim726X]

Trump has never been leading overall in electorate polling.

For the majority of people, it just more e-mail bullshit, and the right-wing establishment and media have burned them out of it. Sure, the hardcore right-wingers will continue to harp on it, like they still do Benghazi, but the majority of people don't care anymore, they probably don't even get what it's supposed to be at this point.

Yes, he has:

End of July.

As for your second point, when it's plastered all over news sources that *aren't* the far right mouthpieces, people will notice. How much they care remains to be seen at this point.

 

[Frustrated_me]

Yet sticks with the same photo, of course.

Are you telling me CNN is in it for the clicks/views? Why I would have never believed you.

The FBI wants to stop and frisk terrorists.

Ahh yes, the good old "terrorists" trick.

 

[Lord Frieza]

People can keep saying this but...



Sounds like an investigation to me.

That's not a reopening.

 

[orthodoxy1095]

I find it hard to believe the founder of Megaupload could have such a huge effect on US politics

I found it hard to believe that the guy who hosted The Apprentice could have such a huge effect on US politics.

And yet here we stand. Nothing is off the table anymore.

 

[LegendofDragoonLives]

If they ever find anything worthy of note, I'd imagine it will be beyond the election process. I'm loving all the gaffers who care about the wasted taxpayer money though lmao You guys are so thoughtful ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

 

[oatmeal]

Hillary's birthday was Wednesday. Nothing came out.

Sure, but considering the timing of this, it might just be coming to light right now. Kimdotcom's tweets imply that it's him still.

 

[Already Torn]

People can keep saying this but...

It was never officially closed, so it's not reopened.

 

[Kathian]

That's not a reopening.

Would you prefer FBI launches new investigation?

 

[thecouncil]

This pretty much ensures a President Trump.

I feel faint.

I can't believe this. This was the moment it fell apart.

 

[Jarmel]

This doesn't matter unless there's some really bad shit in those missing emails.

 

[Oriel]

What you're asking for is political meddling in a law enforcement investigation. Ask how that worked out for Richard Nixon while you're at it.

Ford shut down all investigations of Nixon after the latter's resignation and pardoned him of any and all crimes. Obama will have to do the same after Nov 9 when Clinton is President-Elect to ensure any future GOP-controlled Congress doesn't try to impeach another Clinton over what is a non-issue. Make her legally bullet-proof.

Fuck the Repubs, their God-hero Reagan pardoned the likes of Oliver North FFS! I'm sick of this shit.

 

[Blader]

Wait...I thought the FBI recovered all of the emails from the server. None of this really makes any sense. Why didn't they check with the NSA to begin with? Why would her emails even be in the NSA cloud?

They were 33k emails deleted by Hillary's lawyers before State handed over the emails to the FBI. The theory on the right is that the smoking gun is is those 33k emails. The FBI determined that they were just deleted because Hillary's lawyers looked for relevant emails with certain search terms and got rid of the rest. The FBI ended up recovering about half of those 33k, most of which turned out to be irrelevant personal comms, duplicates, or Hillary fwding an email to someone else asking "pls print."

 

[Betty]

That's not a reopening.

Someone should tell the bbc then since that's their number one read headline right now.

 

[Izuna]

And to think, in the UK we forgive pig fuckers and politicians who hide assets overseas to avoid tax (not evade). In the US, Clinton's (read: bae) emails are basically the entire talking point of a major party.

The difference is so stark, Captain America hates it.

 

[Abounder]

Friday dump indeed. Hillary and Co. have put on quite the shitshow

 

[mere_immortal]

So I've only been following the email stuff on the surface so excuse my ignorance, is the thing literally that Hilary deleted some emails rather than keeping them? All I've ever seen is that some emails were deleted, not that there's actually anything in them that was incriminating.

 

[Banana Aeon]

All these unfamiliar faces come out of the woodwork when finally it looks like there's a BOMBSHELL that's going to BTFO CROOKED HILLARY

Yep and yep.

 

[BiggNife]

This pretty much ensures a President Trump.

No. No, it doesn't.

Maybe, maybe we'll lose the senate, but this isn't going to cost Hillary the presidency.

touche

 

[Elandyll]

My hot take:

The FBI either found something OR was made aware of a leak that is coming that they couldn't ignore. They know it's coming and they had to reopen it.

Something big is coming. It just adds up.

If they had such a thing, why wait until after millions of votes would have been cast in early voting? Makes literally no sense.

It's a bluff.

lol Jesus Christ calm down

 

[Garrett Hawke]

so I guess now the american public may have to decide if they prefer a racist misogynistic serial liar with literally no relevant experience except managing struggling businesses or a career politician with a huge amount of useful relevant experience and a trail of positive legislation passed but who was careless with confidential information.

is it hard?

 

[Sony]

This election:

 

[gogosox82]

What happens if they find something incriminating while she is President? Does anyone know the protocol for that situation?

The Congress would probably try and impeach her.

 

[Ziltoidia 9]

Listening to Trump now, he thinks he just won because of this. His ton is different and he looks giddy.

[Netherscourge]

Silent Majority and lying to anonymous polls, maybe a dash of conspiracy theory? A great mixture of flawed logic and panic based fear-mongering, bravo.

It's not lying to the polls.

It's about having a group of pollsters who are all leaning the same direction, due to attrition, skewing the actual "science" part of the poll.

I hope to hell Hillary wins, and I hope she wins by a large enough margin to prevent any sort of recount bullshit. But you're nuts if you think this is over already.

 

[Staccat0]

Oh right OBAMAcare. She has already been on record, in the debates, detailing how she isn't aligned with ACA in its current form.

Now, if she was 100% in the tank for it in its current form, you might have a point.

That isn't how voters think sadly

 

[Already Torn]

This election:

Trump should be the predator tho

Awe cute, here come all the anti-Clinton peeps.

Comey never used the words "re open". They are looking into new emails. This does not mean anything one way or another until they make a determination. Media spin.

As far as I can tell, this is all National polls.

As for your second point, when it's plastered all over news sources that *aren't* the far right mouthpieces, people will notice. How much they care remains to be seen at this point.

I think it's already been seen when it happened the first time and the impact it had was not all that significant. Unless there's something damming, I see no reason to expect this to matter either.

That would be about the worse thing he could do. Other than try to do that now.

everyone calm the fuck down lol

 

[Spine_Ripper]

This doesn't matter unless there's some really bad shit in those missing emails.

There was nothing in the previous emails and her image is that of a corrupt politician to many, even people voting for her. I don't think it will "end" her, but it will definitely hurt her image, less than 2 weeks from election day.

 

[SpaceWolf]

Get a hold of yourself, private.

 

[PlayALLtheGames]

Polling data indicated that the Democrats could take control of the Senate. However, it's possible that will not happen as voters will keep it in Republican control as a "check" on a potential President Clinton.

Yeah I know. I guess instead of my question I should have just stated, "Bullshit", because there are many reasons the Dems may not take back the Senate but this is not one of them.

 

[MassiveNights]

The denial from the Clinton hardcore is strong. This will be a big story. Not enough to sink her outright, but the dismissal is funny.

 

[Maxim726X]

Listening to Trump now, he thinks he just won because of this. His ton is different and he looks giddy.

He should be giddy.

This will dominate the news cycle barring yet another Trump fuck up. Again, how much this shifts the polls remains to be seen... But it's not good.
