They're in trump's pocket, along with the media misrepresenting this story.

The FBI? well the person running it is a republican so.... The media, likely not. We all know the real reason they do this.

 

[JeTmAn81]

It's a meme (as has been stated multiple times already).

Ok. That should probably be a temp-bannable offense. It's still just trolling.

 

[rjinaz]

Oh man, Johnson thinks there is something going on, so, that means nothing is.

 

[Knuckle Sandwich]

This dude should lose his job. This is ridiculous.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

I wonder if the senate could delay the election

Im sure thered be some precedent. And with the Republican owned congress, they could get it done

Article 2, Section 1, Clause 4 does permit Congress to set the election day but it would take more than 11 days for them to change it and it would be suicide to try it this late.

This dude should lose his job. This is ridiculous.

The President appoints the FBI Director. The only way that Clinton doesn't fire him is if Obama does it first.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

I realize that this sounded pretty good in your thought process, but I can assure you that you have absolutely no idea what the hell you're talking about.

Yes, me asking if X could do something is because I dont know, Im glad you came to that conclusion. On edge, arent you?

Interesting

 

[Escape Goat]

This is a mess. Why would the FBI make this announcement 11 days before the election?

Imagine it came out (leaked) the day before election day. People would think this was the big one and vote for Trump.

 

[Hydrophobic]

I thought the FBI was in Clinton's pocket!

I hope the FBI makes up its damned mind as to whose pocket its in!

How could they be in Clinton's pocket? I thought that most women's clothing didn't have functional pockets!

 

[mreddie]

 

[Blader]

This shit was 85% just hours ago.

Call me crazy, but 75 percent still seems like a massive advantage to me.



also, fwiw, Comey told Congress at one of his hearings that he's no longer a registered Republican.

 

[RPGCrazied]

He is.

Seriously? Then yeah, 11 days before the election this comes out. Yea, not biased at all.

*eyeroll*

 

[Breads]

Yall getting worked right into a shoot.

 

[Ziltoidia 9]

Is Comey a Republican? It would make sense in all this.

I highly doubt Comey wants a Trump president.

 

[Jenov]

This is a mess. Why would the FBI make this announcement 11 days before the election?

Same reason Comey made that unprecedented press conference.

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

Ok. That should probably be a temp-bannable offense. It's still just trolling.

he shouldn't be banned because you fell for a meme

 

[celljean89]

I believe this is going to hurt Hilary. I don't know how much, its going to hurt her.

 

[Woo-Fu]

This is a mess. Why would the FBI make this announcement 11 days before the election?

To balance out the timing of the pre-labor day weekend announcement. Gotta have unbiased bad timing, after all.

 

[TheChocoboCadet]

Call me crazy, but 75 percent still seems like a massive advantage to me.



also, fwiw, Comey told Congress at one of his hearings that he's no longer a registered Republican.

If someone told me I had a 1 in 4 chance of dying in a nuclear war started over a tweet about someone's hair, I'd cry in a corner. I won't be happy until that number says 100%

 

[Joeytj]

Where have all the Clinton detractors and trolls gone? They were pretty active in the first pages.

Losers.

 

[joebruin]

doesn't help that news outlets are still incorrectly reporting this though

 

[CrunchyFrog]

They're in trump's pocket, along with the media misrepresenting this story.

Media in Hillary's pocket, media in Trump's pocket, media in hot pockets I just can't keep it all straight anymore.

More people would do well to abide by Hanlon's Razor

 

[Nipo]

Call me crazy, but 75 percent still seems like a massive advantage to me.

They they were to run the election four times Trump would likely win once.

 

[radios shipping overview]

Yall getting worked right into a shoot.

Sometimes you don't know it's a work when you work a work and work yourself into a shoot.

 

[Isaac Otherworld]

I get that Hillary Clinton is infinitely more honest than Trump, who lies more and more shamelessly than anyone I have ever seen, but I'm bothered by how many people think Politifact is some amazing bastion of pure factiness. They're terrible. Rachel Maddow had a great series going over just how bad Politifact were at their jobs.

They'll fact check something, find that the fact is true but still arbitrarily label it half true or mostly false and they do this all the time.

[Extollere]

I need this election to be over

lol... expect Republican fuckery to continue to go on like this for the next 4 years. And then 4 years after that if Clinton is reelected.

 

[Ambient80]

Call me crazy, but 75 percent still seems like a massive advantage to me.

It has also gone back up about 1.5% since that screenshot wa taken.

 

[Already Torn]

Media in Hillary's pocket, media in Trump's pocket, media in hot pockets I just can't keep it all straight anymore

Hot pockets created that chicken nuggets copypasta to try and suppress Tyson.

 

[Betty]

Losers.

Um it's pronounced.

 

[Nafai1123]

I highly doubt Comey wants a Trump president.

He doesn't have to want a Trump presidency for this stunt to be a partisan move.

 

[Blader]

If someone told me I had a 1 in 4 chance of dying in a nuclear war started over a tweet about someone's hair, I'd cry in a corner. I won't be happy until that number says 100%

The only things that could make that number 100 percent are Trump dropping out or dying.

 

[jmdajr]

Is Comey a Republican? It would make sense in all this.

'In connection with an unrelated case."

Reading that letter, I don't know why it was worded the way it was.

"Hey just wanted to let you guys know HILLARY that we are EMAILS conducting other investigations EMAILS because that's we do HILLARY EMAILS"

Thanks.

 

[DragonSworne]

read it yourself

he is literally just saying that they're looking at it. there is a huge difference between looking at something and "re-opening" an investigation which implies that they are retracting their previous conclusion, which they are not.

He could have just gave them a phone call instead of creating a media circus out of nothing by releasing this letter.

 

[Y2Kev]

Is the FBI going to put out a clarifying statement or what?

 

[enewtabie]

Is Comey a Republican? It would make sense in all this.

2005 or so Bush era. Picked by Obama. Donated to McCain/Romney.

 

[Glass Shark]

Is the FBI going to put out a clarifying statement or what?

No, they won't. And even if this is absolutely nothing, these news headlines are enough to poison the well.

This county is a joke.

 

[Mr. Giggles]

Is the FBI going to put out a clarifying statement or what?

Doubt it

 

[Kusagari]

I highly doubt Comey wants a Trump president.

He doesn't want a Trump presidency. He's doing this so Hillary takes office with even less of a mandate. He wants to make her look weak and vulnerable.

 

[Escape Goat]

Hillary got rocked

 

[Ms.Galaxy]

You know, the old say goes that if there's smoke, there's fire. But the GOP have shrouded Clinton with nearly 1000 miles of smoke from a smoke machine for the past 20 years that it burned out any chance of a fire being there. At this point, anytime I hear some massive conspiracy or scandal involving Clinton, I just roll my eyes and ignore it. I imagine I'm not the only one at this point.

 

[BronsonLee]

Is the FBI going to put out a clarifying statement or what?

lol nah fam

 

[SliceSabre]

All that matter is headlines are going to say:

FBI RE-OPENS INVESTIGATION INTO CLINTON E-MAIL. NEW INFO FOUND

And her poll numbers are going to tank regardless. Just when I thought things were looking up now it feels like Trump really will be President, I was scared something like this would happen. FBI is basically playing politics now because of GOP pressure.

 

[USC-fan]

Is the FBI going to put out a clarifying statement or what?

sure in a couple of months

 

[collige]

I almost feel bad for Comey. He's doing the best he can to paint Hillary poorly with everything related to the emails yet everyone in his party is still gonna think he was some crony bought off by the evil Clintons so they could rig the election after Trump loses.

 

[ishibear]

Is the FBI going to put out a clarifying statement or what?

They better. I don't want to see anything else about these goddamn emails.

UGGGGH

 

[TheOfficeMut]

This election:

If you're white, you've always been winning. If you're not, you've always been losing. Shut the fuck up with this bullshit rhetoric that both sides are the same.

 

[ReAxion]

Comey should have been fired after San Bernardino.

 

[jmdajr]

So basically the Clinton investigation led to another investigation that has nothing to do with her.

I'm glad Headlines accurately reflected this.

edit:Clinton about to speak.

@sfiegerman
Looks like the stock market has decided the FBI email notice is all much ado about nothing

 

[Strike]

Call me back when nothing happens again.

 

[Chiggs]

Comey's just doing his job. Can't all suddenly turn on him.

The thing here is that Hillary's time in office (she's still winning) is going to be an absolute nightmare.
