FBI reviewing emails found on devices used by Weiner/Abedin

Now you're all over the place. This is you:
You're conflating things here. People are specifically talking about his press conference announcement, which should go against any kind of side talk, since the FBI by and large are a police force that enforces laws and what they say should be the end of it. How are they using him as an appeal to authority other than pointing out that the FBI has found that she has done nothing wrong, other than being an old person who doesn't get tech. In most cases, what your talking about happens when someone says something like "If it was anyone else they would've been arrested." What else should someone say? Not exactly what Comey said?
Then you make it sound like Dems loved Comey, when in fact, the only thing they liked is that he stuck by the evidence.
Well, it's not like there's anything else to report on a Friday night...

Woof. No one wins here. I hope she didn't do anything incriminating, for her sake and ours.
Hopefully it continues to just be a (pardon) witch hunt. Everyone pray there is nothing illegal in those emails.
Deserved or not, Republicans will be making a very big and loud deal of this. It's their only hope. A rope thrown at the very last moment.

How are they using him as an appeal to authority other than using him as an appeal to authority as I already stated and you disagreed with? Pm me if you feel this is a conversation worth continuing.

I have a feeling like some of these emails on weiners laptop were the ones she deleted
Trump is taking super advantage of this. I'm voting for her but she definitely fucked up with the private email servers and is hiding something.

You would think they could dig up another woman groped by Trump....but honestly they've covered it so much I honestly think few people pay attention at this point.
Also, Clinton making a statement on things probably ramped things up considerbly.
An appeal to authority is a fallacy in regards to something that the authority didn't literally rule on themselves. I'm good on the PM, you should figure out what the words you're using mean.

Thought Emoji Movie was good. Take that as you will.
Really doubt there's anything here. Like the last e-mail fiasco, it was all about nothing much really.
I don't like the FBI coming out with this now though.. 11 days wasn't all that much to wait especially when they don't even know if there's something really worth a shit.

Yea James dropped the ball on this. He's pretty incompmenent though.
Actually I believe there was another woman who came forward today. But like you said I don't think these networks are paying attention to that story anymore.

Yeah, it's just frustrating that our media buys into it hook, line, and sinker without even trying to get the facts straight at all just for the sake of ratings and even the evening news shows went in on the "October Surprise" angle despite airing hours after it becoming clear that, at least for the time being, there's nothing here. I hate this. =/
Sigh, but Hillary never actually deleted any of the emails...
It's totally frustrating that people still think she personally one night just started deleting emails out of fear.
There were some deleted emails from 2014 that the FBI found anyway and are included in it's investigation. Then, there was another batch that Hillary's aides asked to be erased in 2015, because they weren't from the time period requested by Congress. But the worker at the company that maintained the server messed up and forgot to delete them until he remember, on the day the emails were subpoenaed, IIRC.
So no, there's no reason to think that suddenly Hillary hid 33,000 emails on Anthony Weiner and Huma Abedin's home computer.

Eh, most people were still bashing Comey for that press conference that blew everything out of proportion because he was lobbing soundbytes to the GOP. Then when he spoke in front of Congress he carefully explained to them why Clinton wasn't charged.

If you consider the whole Clinton family. The GOP has spent 20 some years. There is no end in sight. They have already admitted to new investigations if she becomes POTUS.

...But that was actually news. It didn't need spinning.

So that's news but potential corruption at the top of the US government isn't news?
I think they are nudes Hilary sent to Wiener.
Also potentially nothing. It's potentially a lot of things. But we know absolutely nothing at this point.
When Comey can't even be smarter than Trump and gives away their plan before they do it, there's a problem. Comey admits they have no clue what it is, and we know that it's not Hillary's email/server, so why is it news today?
It's posts like this that make me really giddy for the 8th.
This doesn't even make sense.
It would certainly be news if something incriminating was uncovered.
Has something incriminating been uncovered? I'd appreciate a link since I can't find anything in this thread.
She is going to win, and this shit will turn out to be nothing. What it may affect is downballot options.

If she had nothing to hide then she wouldn't delete any of them. And the "worker that maintained the email server" is a heavily experienced IT technician who wouldn't make that mistake. And I never said 33k of them were sent to wiener. I'm saying some of the deleted ones might have been sent there. Again, I'm not supporting Trump in the slightest but I'm not going to ignore things I see wrong with Hillary just because she's the better option of the two.
She seems confident that she has nothing to hide and the timing of this sucks for her as it's not enough time for her to be potentially vindicated of this but everyone has to admit she dodges email questions.
He just said they cover Trump all the time!
Show me the receipts
Bizarre isn't it? The Guardian (hardly a right wing shill) has had it as their leading story since it broke. Reading this thread you'd think it's something which will appear in the papers tomorrow at the bottom of page eight.
Even if she got elected to office it wouldn't stop. This has been going on for decades prior and will continue for a while even when both Clintons are dead and buried.

You can't think of any other reason someone would delete emails?
Let me give you a tip on logical reasoning: conclusions follow premises, not the other way around. Jumping to the conclusion you favor by assuming that's where the evidence leads means you've ignored every other possibility. That's not just irrational, it's irresponsible, and that way of thinking will lead you into error.
I didn't say that Hillary shouldn't be criticized for anything. She was wrong to not just use a government email, period.
But that isn't the same thing as wanting to do something illegal or that is disqualifies her from being good president or a good candidate. It's not. Even Colin Powell endorsed her after we all saw how he shit on her for using a private server, but him, like the FBI, saw that there wasn't maintent.
And that should be enough for everybody. Those Podesta emails also show that there really isn't anything sinister going on in Clinton World beyond typical politics and old people using email for mundane things.
Why would it have to be something big? How are you drawing this conclusion?
It literally doesn't matter what it is. If it had even the barest, who gives a fuck relation to the Clinton inquiry Comey sends that message to congress. Not doing so puts his testimony in question, which he is as you might imagine eager to not allow.
Did not realize I was hiding something when I delete my mom's chain letters. The more you know.

Pls don't admit to a dastardly coverup on a public forum unless you've ensured your IP can't be traced.
Did you bleach them tho?
I use aspic. Way cleaner, no smell.

If so, I hope it was with a white cloth, or the bleach will cause stains.
Exaclty. I'm a federal employee (not a contractor) and we are actually instructed to delete emails with confidential information as soon as they are no longer necessary. I think my inbox has like a 20MB limit on it.

Because they knew the shitstorm it would cause and if it was minor or some kind of a coincidence they could wait til after the election to announce anything. But again, Comey could be butthurt regarding all the criticism he's gotten and is doing this to silence his critics.
This makes me smile on the inside.
