This is beyond fuckery. I think the Senate is gone now.

My god.

 

[Doc Holliday]

Ha there been a Republican appointee that hasn't come back to bite Obama in the ass?

This is beyond fuckery. I think the Senate is gone now.

dude, really?

lol

 

[JHoNNy1OoO]

There were plenty of people Obama could have appointed to the position other than a prior appointee of the Bush administration. This isn't even a hard thing to do. It's emblematic of all of Obama's stupid plays to win over Republicans that went nowhere and really just actively handicapped him.

Exactly, why are we surprised that members from the other team inevitably look out for themselves. Use your own fucking team members. Like the American people even give a fuck. Here you had Republicans still calling conspiracy with Comey at the helm. Facts don't matter to these people!!!

 

[Iolo]

Comey knew what he was doing. His vague statement creates the perfect story to feed the "raises questions" and "casts a shadow" narrative the media was waiting for.

 

[thebloo]

To those talking about the "Comey" episode this summer and polls.

Here's a capture of polls starting July 5th, the day Comey gave his statement. As you can see the polls were pretty linear following that (even through the RNC!) and then soared.

Diablos post, everyone move along.

 

[RustyNails]

Hillary campaign needs to release a statement calling out FBI's fuckery. Absolutely needs to.

 

[Spider from Mars]

11 days, Friendos, 11 more days.

 

[Hazmat]

This is such bullshit. Comey knew exactly what he was doing.

I would love to be a fly on the wall when Obama fires the fuck out of him after the election.

 

[Voysa Reezun]

My god.

Common sense flies out the window whenever Clinton so much as sneezes, I suppose.

 

[VendettaRed07]

This is why you are a verb

 

[cDNA]

He's a Republican. He wants Trump to win. This is totally heinous.

No this is more about the House/Senate control.

 

[NYCmetsfan]

Hillary campaign needs to release a statement calling out FBI's fuckery. Absolutely needs to.

No

You issue a statement saying that though you're troubled by the timing you are going to work with the FBI and are fully confident in the fact these emails are innocuous

 

[metalslimer]

Hillary campaign needs to release a statement calling out FBI's fuckery. Absolutely needs to.

Yep the one thing they cannot do is stay silent on this.

 

[Effect]

So the FBI isn't saying shit after the shit storm they just caused? Just letting news headlines run wild? Stocks dropping? Etc?

 

[jmdajr]

So wtf is being investigated exactly?

I don't even know anymore.

 

[rjinaz]

Ok, let's just take a deep breath. I am entirely sure that next week at this time we will find that the state of the race is unchanged. It just feels like things are bad now.

 

[Iolo]

So wtf is being investigated exactly?

I don't even know anymore.

No one knows

 

[teiresias]

Hillary campaign needs to release a statement calling out FBI's fuckery. Absolutely needs to.

Agreed, they need to not be afraid to call out political actions by an agency when it's blatantly obvious, particularly when the other side is willing to claim the same with no evidence whatsoever.

 

[VendettaRed07]

Hillary campaign needs to release a statement calling out FBI's fuckery. Absolutely needs to.

This.

Immediately address this.

now

 

[Jeels]

Droppo the oppo!

They have to have binders full of oppo.....! I need more tapes.

 

[NYCmetsfan]

11 days, Friendos, 11 more days.

Good thing its halloween. 3 days of drinking

 

[Ziltoidia 9]

Wow, this is amazing. So entertaining. Much more entertaining then then saying the race was tightening.

 

[sazzy]

 

[thebloo]

Guys, you can't call out the fucking FBI while your surrogates are around the country talking about Trump attacking democracy. What the hell.

 

[teiresias]

I would love to be a fly on the wall when Obama fires the fuck out of him after the election.

Meh, Obama would probably just appoint John Ashcroft and call it a "healing moment."

 

[marrec]

Calm down everyone, nobody gives a shit about the e-mails.

 

[VendettaRed07]

So wtf is being investigated exactly?

I don't even know anymore.

Letter is too vague.

This...makes me feel better. It's obvious even during her "lows" that Clinton has never truly trailed Trump.

 

[rjinaz]

Shit. You're right! I know what I'm doing tomorrow morning. Picking up some rum.

 

[User 463088]

Diablos post, everyone move along.

People in glass houses and what not!

 

[TheFatOne]

You people worry too much about the emails. That shit is baked in. In early August there were polls showing something like 60% of people were tired of hearing about the email issue. That was two months ago. Those numbers are baked in.

 

[RustyNails]

Calm down everyone, nobody gives a shit about the e-mails.

I dont think anyone's bedwetting besides a few known ones. Most are furious at Comey making a political play for GOP.

 

[studyguy]

Even at the lowest, the best Trump could do was tie. Says a lot about his numbers.

 

[Loudninja]

Maybe this time the emails will matter!

Nope she had a very long investigating that went no where.

 

[banefirelord]

FiveThirtyEight polls plus is gonna have a fielllllllllllld day.

 

[jmdajr]

I guess Fun Friday needs to be balanced out by sad Friday.

Man this fucking thing is an albatross.

 

[Revolver]

Goddamn that private server to hell!

 

[Diablos]

This is why you are a verb

This is a big deal. All people will think is that the investigation is being reopened and it hurts her chances. It's demoralizing/turns off people reluctantly voting for her (or inclined to).

Comey is a fucking hack. Thanks for politicizing the FBI you piece of shit. If the standard is that you think she didn't know what she was doing wrong you don't dangle the Presidency of a fascist in our faces right before the election.

 

[Barzul]

Can Obama force the FBI to give him details? And then spill it out to the public.

 

[excelsiorlef]

Guys, you can't call out the fucking FBI while your surrogates are around the country talking about Trump attacking democracy. What the hell.

Huh?

 

[Plinko]

Is this why the betting markets were going Trump earlier? Did they know this was coming?

 

[Abinash117]

Recap of this thread so far:

 

[PInk Tape]

FBI/Comey need to clarify what exactly they are doing with the emails like right now.

The fact that Comey thought that vague ass statement was acceptable to share, considering how the GOP is, is mind numbling dumb.

Unless he is actually trying to tilt the scales in the GOP's favor...

 

[RastaMentality]

Is this why the betting markets were going Trump earlier? Did they know this was coming?

Doubt it. The clinton camp probably knew about it though.

 

[thefro]

Can Obama force the FBI to give him details? And then spill it out to the public.

Still think he needs to use the big pardon so that this crap goes away because the GOP won't stop otherwise no much how much of a BS nothingburger it is.

 

[Veritigo_X]

Meh, just some jerk off material for republicans and MIMIC. I don't know how this changes anyone's vote from Clinton to Trump.

 

[whyamihere]

This is very true:

@mattyglesias
I think Comey clearly needs to say more. But Dems should be aware that saying more might be worse for Clinton.

 

[NYCmetsfan]

The only thing I'm worried about is enthusiasm for republicans. Even then I think trump doing something stupid will hurt that and there's 11 days!

 

[PBY]

Can't believe Hillary got October surprise'd

Wow. This is massive, anyone dismissing this needs to just turn on their TV.
