Not from Clinton, not from her server, it's nothing.
 
This is most likely because Comey looked like a boot-licker for Obama and Clinton, as did Loretta Lynch for her brief chit-chat will Bill on the airport tarmac and the FBI is trying to save some face by 'gifting' a late non-scandal scandal for the GoPers to chew on.

I think it's more about Comey's reputation than any actual injustice by Hillary. But that's just me.
Except that now Comey looks like a lapdog for the RNC and thought that it'd be a good idea to strike a blow against his future boss. It's one of the dumbest ways of saving face I can imagine.
 
So a total misunderstanding is the reason my Facebook feed is fueled by "I told you so!" posts from the Trump side?

No, it's a combination of poor reading comprehension, a lack of reading comprehension, a complete lack of reading, poor choice of friends and an unfortunate family situation.
 
So this is nothing, right?

I overslept so I didn't have time to read this entire thread before work, but I'm here now and I think I'm caught up. I was freaking out a little cause I thought it was an October Surprise.

It's nothing, but the problems comes with voters believing it's something and voting based on what they believe.

It's nothing, but a lot of casual poliGAF posters are addicted to panic and dread, so they think any negative story about Hillary will sink her and Trump is unstoppable and immune to anything, including the reality of the current polling landscape, so they want to panic and cry and chicken little even after something is very clearly nothing, and nobody outside the dedicated right have given a shit about the e-mail scandals since the generals started more or less.
 
Hey Comey, I have a few emails at my job that reference Hillary. You might to let congress know since it might impact your testimony.

What a joke.

What?

He made an unprecedented press conference to try and make Clinton look as bad as possible in what should have been basically the end of this story

Jesus Christ enough we get it.

You're just as bad as the people you constantly chastise.

It doesn't help that so much of the media so trash at handling this shit, immediately jumping to dubious headlines and assumptions. It's shameful how that machine operates.
 
I'm glad I'm just now getting a chance to see this thread - I would have had a heart attack otherwise. It would have been great if Comey was less ambiguous from the start.

Part of me wonders how Trump will try to spin this once the media cleans up their reaction and starts reporting, "Look, it's fucking nothing."
 
History will record that Hillary Clinton won the 2016 Presidential Election, but the greatest among us will always remember those two special hours on October the 28th, year of our Lord 2016 when the surely unsung intellectual dynamos of our age still somehow believed that meaningless emails nontroversies would deliver the Presidency to Donald J. Trump.
 
Wow 3 emails can spur this kind of media outbreak? And the outbreak happens before any of that info is out regarding what it is...

The Comey letter was deliberately vague which fed a lot of paranoia.

If we knew this was about 3 Weiner emails from the get go this probably wouldn't have exploded like this.
 
what exactly is Hillary's relationship w/ Comey in the past? Isn't she just friends with his (now separated?) wife? what kind of classified info could even conceivably be there?
 
That letter was to Congress, not the media.

He knew how the GOP held Congress and their subsequent announcement to the media would be received.

Same for the 'FBI told Congress not to leak anything' and Congress leaked stuff within hours.

Is three the actual number?

The F.B.I. is investigating illicit text messages that Mr. Weiner sent to a 15-year-old girl in North Carolina. The bureau told Congress on Friday that it had uncovered new emails related to the Clinton case — one federal official said they numbered in the thousands — potentially reigniting an issue that has weighed on the presidential campaign and offering a lifeline to Donald J. Trump less than two weeks before the election.
 
I've no idea whats going on with all the different reports. Best I can make out is was 3 emails were sent by Huma to Weiner that were from the private server but weren't disclosed
 
I tend to agree. Which is odd, because he really didn't strike me as the type.

But I guess he's not immune to political pressure... Particularly from his own party.

Well, he's a Bush guy, and a rabid Clinton hater, but he was given the job by Obama. He actually investigated Clinton (Bill) over the Vince Foster stuff back in the day. Claims no current affiliation (lol).

So he's complicated. But I think it's time for the "N-Word Tape" - which is what I code name the last crazy bit of oppo. Otherwise people will stew over the nothing all weekend.
