Not sure anyone is arguing it will be a big story. Just that it's going to be fucking nothing, again.

Real clear politics still has Hillary at a 79% chance of winning the election. probably because so many people have already voted it's not going to hurt her that much. No take backsies for early voters!

Erm, that scorecard says she's telling half truths or worse almost 50 percent of the time. That's a failing grade by most academic standards.

Trump knew kimdotcom had the emails for at least a month :

I understand completely, and if within the next 11 days they announce that they've found emails damaging or interesting enough to definitively re-open the case that's going to be very bad news.
Obviously after the election. Obama would have nothing to lose and it would ensure Clinton could walk into the WH without the cloud of impeachment hanging over her. And we all know the GOP would jump at the chance to impeach her the day she's inaugurated. They've already acknowledged they'll spend every moment carrying out Congressional "investigations" during her Presidency.
And for what it's worth I still believe she'll win the election, early voting has provided Clinton with a solid buffer going into Nov 8. But this whole "scandal" needs to be brought to a close.
It's higher elsewhere.
But we won't know if this swings the polling around until next week anyway.
You mean that RCP hasn't been able to effectively integrate the (non-existent) polling data that takes into account a story that broke about an hour ago into its model?!?

You should see literally the entire GOP
I'm convinced "toxic" is just the public image baggage of both being a Clinton and being a woman. Obviously we consider the candidate as they exist before us, but on paper she's literally overqualified for the position - any man running on the same qualifications would be a slam dunk. Emails and transparency are major issues, but in the hands of a lot of her detractors they feel like vessels masking really ugly feelings.
And I'm not calling you on this, I just mean the US voter sentiment at large.

Too bad the only alternative is ten times worse.

Why are people upset about this? If there's the possibility of wrongdoing, it will be investigated. That is a good thing.
If this were to somehow swing the election, then that's entirely her party's fault given her "few more raisins than most" as John Oliver so aptly put it.

"Well, guess this is going to make me change my vote from Clinton to Trump"....
...said nobody ever.
The election is in 11 days. This new "investigation" or whatever will likely drag on for months. It will be a story that will crop up again, but by then she will be President. It's not going to change the result of the election. Relax people.

It says "Live" odds. So I'm assuming the needle is in constant motion and includes data points from the recent breaking news
It makes her one of the most honest politicians in the country, and it makes the insistence of labeling her as a liar, when other politicians, including Obama, aren't, the more curious.

Oh I know Trump is worse, just saying that's hardly a good evidence to support the case for Hillary either. Raise your standards, people.

Thanks for using reason instead of passion.
At this point i wish she would come out and say she wouldnt seek a second term. I know it not going to happen. But it help her get way more vote from people that dont like her at all. It 8 years vs 4 years.....
Obama cannot do anything to stop an impeachment,

Reading is hard!
Not just the thread title, major news sites as well. Lots of misinformation out there already, which was probably to be expected for such a vague and noncommittal letter regarding a lightning rod talking point days before an election.

Isn't she one of the best among major politicians? That's why I said entire GOP, not just Trump.
According to NBC this isn't about Clinton at all and is a nothingburger.

Sinking her would be trailing in the polls by a large margin, knocked out of the race outright.
Obviously that isn't going to happen but disregarding this as something that isn't going to damage her in any way is just kind of funny to me.
Very small margins in these elections. The swing doesn't have to be substantial to make this a potentially tight race. I personally think that makes it a pretty big deal, based on news coverage alone.
By all means write it off as itsfuckingnothing, it's your opinion!

the difference is she has had 30 years of shit slung at her by the republicans and its not as obvious as the racist shit they peddle at obama so people dont see it for what it is
also she's a woman
Yeah, good thing.
Pretty much, while this will be a story i don't think its gonna shift the needle.
Early voting is already being done, debates are all done and I imagine most people have made there choice this really won't convenience alot of people.

Nope. The BBC are reporting that "Hillary Clinton email probe reopened by FBI director".
They are good at facts checking.

FUCK
Hillary Clinton has made more than 285 statements in her life. If it gets checked by Politifact, it's because there's already a debate about the truthfulness.
Nah, I'm good.

Yeah this was pretty awful timing when Hillary appears to not even be involved. It was either somebody just not thinking about the implications or somebody was trying to sabotage her, but either way it's reckless.
