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.

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.
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 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

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...

Maybe it was to Bill? Showing him the best angles to use, turning on HDR, etc.
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."

I honestly can't stop laughing. You can't write this shit.
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.
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.
That letter was to Congress, not the media.

Which he had to know was going to get released to the press come on.
You honestly can't. Were these Weiner's devices or Huma's at his place that got seized?
True, this should have never gotten to the press.
On the flip side, I'm sure Comey knew what was going to happen as he drafted the letter up.
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.

He's not a complete idiot. He had to have known it would get leaked.

by being as vague as humanly possible, he knew exactly what he was doing.
That Weiner's weiner isn't Weiner's weiner after all. Weiner double!

Is three the actual number?

He knew what he was doing releasing such a vague statement to someone with a raging hate boner for her.
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.
How can a grown person be so naive

It wasn't leaked. It's not a secret.
The media just blew this out of all proportion when the news broke.

Jesus does anyone know whats going on?
How are 3 weiner emails related to clinton
How are 3 weiner emails related to clinton
You mean after the GOP Congress and Speaker of the House announced the 'reopening' of the case? Using a vague letter by the FBI as proof?

He isn't. Comey didn't get where he is not knowing how Washington work.

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'm pretty sure weiner and clinton are sexting buds, when she's not fucking Huma at least.
Yup. He needs to be removed from his post forever. Embarrassingly inept.

Disappointed in these new revelations. Really lame stuff.
Well that's true. But what's the protocol? Can he SAY in a letter to Congress (that will make its way to the media) that it's about Weiner?

Fucking thank you.
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.
Yep. I was referring to MIMIC.

I agree. The timing is suspect. This could easily have waited 11 days.
