So basically if this is thousands of emails, this could potentially drag all the way through the election without any sort of conclusion delivered until afterwards.

Being no huge fan of Clinton, I still have to say that something stinks.

Conspiracy time: Was Comey pressured? Do "they" have something on him? If this is nothing big, is his career over?

Well, are we certain that there are in fact thousands of emails?

This is 3 emails related to Weiner. The story will be dead by tomorrow, and yes Comey's career is over. He's revealed himself to be a total dipshit.
 
Knowing Trump's luck the emails would be Weiner and Trump bragging to each other about their sexual exploits with teenage girls or something.
 
This whole timing thing stinks, serious questions must be asked about the FBI and the Republican parties influence given the awful timing of this, some seriously dodgy antics at the FBI.

Pretty quick, but I saw before the edit, and none of what you said was remotely correct, so it's good I don't have to address it since no one cares about your worthless anecdotal evidence and I'm far from 'delusional' about Hillary or her chances. Plus, you know I'm right with what I am saying anyway. I don't really care why you guys do it. Maybe you are just addicted to that feeling of panic or just totally complacent during the good times, I don't know, but you guys know what you're doing, at least I think most of you do.

One of us got paid to do stuff like this. Your dismissal of people who clearly aren't panicking just make you look like fool you are.

Like I said. Enjoy.

why would someone tie emails to their weiner
 
I think I'm going to read through this thread again now that I know the conclusion. Good stuff. The most "Independents" I have seen posting in a long while.

No need for conspiracies. New emails were added. They have to be investigated and cleared. Comey had to send his statement for procedural reasons.

Well, it does give Clinton free rein to clean house at the FBI, so it's not all bad.

I'm pretty sure that Comey only has to report in if the FBI finds some new information. They haven't done so yet, so he's way jumping the gun.
 
Would, "FBI Investigating Weiner's Weiner, Throws Clinton Under Bus" be too on the nose as a thread title?

Jesus, Comey. What an asshat.
 
This is surreal. Did Comey not run that memo by anyone with a modicrum of intelligence? I don't think I've ever seen someone so completely destroy their own career with such a stupid decision so close to an election.

What the fuck was the point in sending out such a vaguely worded memo so close to an election to the people in opposition to one of the two major candidates? He basically gave them a canister of gasoline, which they then attempted to pour on a smoldering fire, and then went 'Oh, actually that was just water.'. Big old smoke cloud of nothing ensues.

Yeah, it's kinda sad how many people are willing to jump on unverified reports and totally embarrass themselves.
 
"Appear to have pertinent information."

Hmmm.

I sincerely doubt, that Comey has no idea what's in these emails. Its not like he is going to petition congress to review emails that he knows is a grocery list.

These emails have been reviewed in the FBI. The question is whether they can "formally" review them.

I tell you...this election....

Thankfully Hillary is well ahead of Trump in the polls...and a look at the electoral math shows its damn near close to impossible...

Why would a "pro's pro" of federal prosecutors torpedo his career? To get Donald Fucking Trump into the White House? Not buying it, not even remotely.

This isn't his first rodeo. He took excruciating pains to make the initial investigation not turn into a political circus and he's going to start lobbing bombs 2 weeks from the election?

Are you missing the part where it says "used by Anthony Weiner"? Your post that it's about his wife is patently false.

He didn't take pains to not turn it into a political circus, it was the opposite. Adding in the "careless" line, holding a "press conference" that was basically anything but. The dude has been fucking around with the election since July.
 
I have to add... If this is all about determining the classification status of a grand total of 3 emails, why would that take an indeterminate time? If it takes them more than one day to work out their classification level, then our classified info system is even more screwed up then I've heard.

I think Comey was trying to be as minimally specific as possible, which just made it worse. Although, I'm really not sure what else should have been in the memo. He can't just go "It's fucking nothing" to the subcommittee.

There's like 7 or 8 posts on the Fox News Facebook, good lord.


It's like a fucking dog whistle, "LOOK MORE EMAILS WE GOT HER NOW LOCK HER UP!!!!"

I don't know what their Facebook is like, but it's basically been their reporting this whole month with the wikileaks stuff. They've tried hard to press this stuff all through October and Trump's meltdown, and it's not stuck at all. This one is only different since so many other media sources picked it up, but now that it's clear that it's nothing, it'll mostly fade away and go back to the loyal right-wing thumping it.

Yeah clinton likely sexting him LOL

clearly it email between his wife, clinton top aid. "The emails were found on a computer used jointly by both Weiner and his wife, top Clinton aide Huma Adebin, according to a person with knowledge of the inquiry.

patently false LOL what
 
Trump is a goddamn prophet.

"Huma is making a very wise decision. I know Anthony Weiner well, and she will be far better off without him,"

"I only worry for the country in that Hillary Clinton was careless and negligent in allowing Weiner to have such close proximity to highly classified information. Who knows what he learned and who he told?"

"It's just another example of Hillary Clinton's bad judgment, It is possible that our country and its security have been greatly compromised by this.”

So basically, Comey got wind of some emails found on Weiner's phone that could be related to the server business, and thus had to update his findings to the committee (as he had previously said their investigation was complete)....only he did so in an extremely vague way that provides no additional context on the stuff that came out from other sources afterwards?

Stuff like the information not coming from Hillary, not being withheld by Hillary, and more?

Seems non-partisan to me!

Nah, I wasn't posting here then. Thank god. I admit, around the weeks before the first debate I was just skipping Politic threads because the amount of dread and panic was getting way too much.
