They're top stories on both sites still. CNN has the red "BREAKING NEWS" banner plastered all over it. Maybe their sites are behind their on air coverage but they haven't "walked back" much on the web yet.

That's not how they do things. They prefer the one post drops.

"Swept under the rug" implies there is dirt to sweep.

That's why this is a developing story. We're obviously going to learn more about these emails because Comey felt it was so pertinent to re-open the investigation.
CNN has breaking news about anything that comes in. I promise.

I kinda agree.
They asked him to go into more details, they know it is nothing.
Well they did cover up Hilary dying on 9/11/16 and being replaced by a lookalike.
It's Chris Cillizza...
Investigation never ended.

It's terrible. But why can't Hillary afford it based off of polling? This stuff is a snoozefest. Hopefully, Comey can whip up another statement.

How is the White House not up Comey's ass over this? This is pure political interference at this point.
It won't be ignored, just that there's far less substance to the story than initial headlines implied. The media cares about controversy, not candidates.
I saw it, too. MSNBC referred to it as a possible "October surprise"
(the anchor did, at least)

Could simply mean one of two things:
(1) He is exceedingly political, but didn't want to put his prosecutorial judgment on the line (Ie, making the call not to recommend prosecution, but will lob bombs like the letter today); or
(2) There is something in those emails that warrant attention.
Make no mistake. He knows right now what's in them as do a few other people in the FBI.
So, its either one...or the other.

Probably because then it'll look like Obama is protecting Hillary.
The Clinton campaign issued a statement shortly before the close of trading.
"The [FBI] Director owes it to the American people to immediately provide the full details of what he is now examining. We are confident this will not produce any conclusions different from the one the FBI reached in July," said John Podesta, Clinton's campaign chairman.

I didn't see any evidence of them walking anything back or attacking Republicans when I was watching it (I changed the channel when Kellyanne Conway came on to gloat because fuck her).
There, Steve Kornacki literally just called it an October surprise again. That ain't good.

See I told you all Slayven wasn't trustable
While I know that this story is hot air, I don't think that it will quite go away. There should be a lot of followup about how much hot water Comey is in over this mess. However, there's going to be no impact on Clinton because there's nothing here (and only anti-Clinton folks cared about the emails to begin with).

Oh my, all the Trumpian Swallows have come back to Capistrano in this thread. How sweet.
This Comey bullshit isn't going to stick enough to swing votes. It's red meat for the diehards.

Someone has missed a few pages. Investigation is not re-opened.

Fox News didn't get the memo. Still their headline.

He was right about Republicans being the stupidest voter base and not being mentally fit to be president, too.
And about perverts being completely irredeemable, apparently.
Interested to see how Monday plays out. When the pussy tape came out for Trump it was red hot all weekend and culminated in the debate and was the lead story Monday. There's nothing this weekend to build up to and as more comes out it becomes more obvious that it's not really the story that was framed by Comey's letter.
I bet it'll still be a 'big' story on Monday, but not necessarily one that is going to stick around more than a few days. If it actually swings the election to Trump I will be absolutely amazed, but not totally surprised because this election has been such a clusterfuck that anything is possible.

Fox News doesn't apologize or course correct. Full steam ahead!
Tell us just how dumb you feel right now. lol

At this point Hilary could run out to Philly and pee on the Liberty Bell and I think she'd probably still win in a landslide

Yo :
"As part of the investigation into Anthony Weiner, we are examining the electronic devices used jointly by Mr Weiner and his wife at the time, Clinton aide Huma Abedin. We discovered three messages unrelated to Mr. Weiner's case referencing Secretary Clinton's use of a private server. Secretary Clinton is not included in these 3 messages. We are performing follow up inquiries into these 3 messages. I would like to amend my prior testimony to Congress with this information."
The angst and hand-wringing in this thread is hilarious. Don't even try to pretend that Clinton's conduct throughout this email fiasco hasn't been anything short of appalling - from wiping the servers, to her constant lying on the campaign trail that everything she did was within guidelines at the time.
And then what?

"It proves she's not wearing a catheter"
This is like... nothing. As opposed to... everything that is wrong from with this ignorant racist sociopath? Can't you spot the difference?
Yes, actually.
I'd be willing to put money on the line saying that the media will pivot this into an indictment of Comey rather than Hillary.
The Trump talking heads will of course cry about it, spreading misinformation, but this is literally nothing and it would be irresponsible of the media to report it as anything but.

This election has actually been pretty stable, and has gone entirely as you would expect it to go considering the candidates, despite the general thought that this election has been 'unpredictable.' So, yeah, unless you meant something else there.
I don't see the story having any real staying power unless there's something real found. Otherwise it's just going to a slightly nosier than usual e-mail story among a month of e-mail stories that almost no one seemed to really give a shit about.
