He didn't take pains to avoid the investigation turning into a political circus. He's been trying to spin the investigation in favor of the GOP for a while. He did that entire press conference to give the GOP fresh meat to use against her. GOP Congressmen were too stupid to take the hint, and called him out for doing a bad job if he couldn't prosecute despite the way he wagged his finger, which required him to talk in more definitive terms about how little a case there was against her in order to defend himself from charges of incompetency.
This is him throwing some red meat out again. And the press has already begun to realize that they've been played on this from how significantly they have been walking back their stories.

Don't worry Comey, I bet you would make a great heel manager in the WWE.
True. I always cry about absolutely nothing. Thanks for driving by.

Media treating this as an October surprise. Whether it's big or not, it's big.
I'm sure you'd love hatred and bigotry to prevail, but keep dreaming.
Yep. Agencies should be transparent. We react like this because we are used to no oversight or exposure. We are okay with being in the dark.

But people on neoGAF say it isn't big! Don't worry about it! It's nothing!
I don't think their CSI has the budget for a powerful enough microscope
Nope.
CNN is already puling back hard. Heck they even had a summary video of how it all went down and how the Republicans freaked out. This won't be talked about after this weekend.
Please please explain to our limited hive minds how this is anything...

Good fucking god everyone on my Facebook is linking to articles about this all like SEE SEE TOLD YOU
They also treated every wikileak dump as big
media doesn't like being exposed as fools
they'll pass that buck right along to the republicans over the weekend
I dunno man. 12 pages here already. The internet is gonna freak all weekend like with the pussy grab.
Clinton will still win and we will take the senate.
Yep the media already pulling wayyy back
LOL want to bet?

Being vague and having your words so easily misconstrued is not transparency. It is ineptitude of the highest order. Imagine them doing this shit to Trump how much he'd howl (even more) about things being rigged. It is in incredibly dumb and completely reckless to come out with shit like this and not be perfectly clear from the jump that this isn't stuff related to their investigation of her in July.

Your reading comprehension is on the level of Fox News. Neat!
Thing is, those people already hated Hillary and weren't gonna vote for her. I have to imagine the majority of the country that was already going to vote for Clinton never really cared about the email nonsense to begin with. This isn't going to change that.
I'm almost glad that the vocal minority is making a big deal about this. The more others see that it's nothing, the more their opinion is invalidated.
Not Fox News!
It's all ALERT and explosions and "something's going on" over there right now.

You honestly sound pretty delusional.

I just don't know why they keep clinging to the emails shit. Nothing has been found. There's nothing there.

This sort of thing is pretty pathetic at this point
Like I would feel bad for you and how out of touch you seem to be with reality but I don't because if you're spouting this nonsense it's pretty hard to have empathy
Well it is emails so of course it will be. So you're right.
But, it won't be talked like a big deal outside of the right-wing.
If you say so. You still haven't explained how this is a big deal. Like I get people will talk about it, but how it matters in any way?

He better come out and fully explain everything now. You can't just throw that out there like that. Especially when you know it's going to be politicized to death as Trump already has tried to do and CNN just went crazy for 3 hours doing.
It seems anyhow now that the news media is dialing back their breaking news boners as more information leaks.
And another thing. He has to go. Its obvious his employees have no faith in the job he is doing or they would not be leaking everything.

Check some other sources then.
MSNBC literally just called it an October surprise that may swing the election if it gains traction.
The front page of the Washington Post says "The FBI's October surprise just made Clinton's awful week even worse."
The New York Times' front page says "FBI Review of New Emails Revives Issue in Election."
The LA Times' front page says "FBI looking at a newly discovered emails possibly related to Clinton probe."
So again, even if it isn't bad, this is bad. Because it looks bad. And in an election where a serial molester still has almost half the country behind him, we can't afford anything that even looks bad this close to Election Day.

This is a developing story. They're talking about it on MSNBC, FOX News, and CNN right now.
We don't know if it's nothing yet.

Yep, it'll be ignored and swept under the rug by most media outlets. HRC has a big enough lead with less than 2 weeks to go that it's virtually impossible for her to lose.
Who to believe?
It's happening now, it might not be complete and immediate though depending on the person's bias and information.

That's a strange way of looking at a story the so called liberal media have already hyped up well beyond it's actual significance.

We are all weaker because of it.
Maybe once we heal, we will be stronger.
