NY Times says it was over Weiner's sexting FFFSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

 

[shem935]

What's this about?

Republicans were saying that early voting should be limited because this proves things late in the election could change how people voted.

 

[tuffy]

So even Comey was doing this out of obligation. It probably is really nothing then.

Even though it's nothing, he really could've spelled that out upfront in the letter. No need to let this blow up before all relevant the details arrived via Twitter.

 

[NihonTiger90]

My head is spinning right now. Is the case reopened or not?

It's not re-opened. The GOP is simply trying to spin it that way. Comey was saying "Hey, Congressional panel, we found some more e-mails that might be pertinent to the case but we don't know, so we're going to have to take time to look at them," as it changed his testimony to Congress.

The GOP then ran with that to say, "MORE E-MAILS FOUND, INVESTIGATION RE-OPENED, KILLARY IS A CRIMINAL"

 

[GusBus]

Anthony Weiner???

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

Baseballcrank and other assholes immediately argued that this story showed that we shouldn't have early voting.

Of course.

 

[mo60]

And of course Trump will face no repercussions for totally fucking lying his ass off about this. What kind of chaos would have to happen on election day for him to go to jail? Does he really get off scott-free just because he never outright said "hey, please murder those people"?

He will have to deal with voters sending him and republicans a huge message on november 8th with their votes against him.

 

[ZealousD]

So, mostly likely scenario, the FBI was looking at Weiner's phone, and they find 3 e-mails from Huma Abedin mentioning HRC's private server in passing, and EVERYBODY LOSES THEIR FUCKING SHIT.

 

[sazzy]

clinton twitter is spamming GO OUT AND VOTE lol

 

[RustyNails]

FUCKING WEINER

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Weiner you fucking prick, what the fuck.

 

[Iolo]

obama bros are pissed

no he was not obligated to be clear, just to notify Congress

 

[Hydrophobic]

What's this about?

I think it's about how some republicans were tweeting we need to do away with early voting entirely.

 

[kadotsu]

After all is said and done this will have zero effect. Any gains this could give the GOP will be evened out by some "complacent" Dems getting their ass to the voting booth because of the partisan nature of this.

Edit: Also cue the Curb theme for Weiner once again.

LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

 

[Godzilla's Left Toe]

Trump and Weiner The BQ embarrassments

 

[PInk Tape]

That statement from Paul Ryan sure looks stupid now.

Yup. If he was smart, he would have stayed quiet about it.

 

[User 463088]

When Andrea fucking Mitchell is like "Really queen"?

Also send good thoughts. 5 year old got hurt at school. Nothing serious, but going to the ER to be safe. May have hurt his arm.

 

[tedrotheredro]

I for sure as hell am not giving Comey a pass on this. There should have been a press release to the public at the ready. Instead he sends some vaguely worded memo that could be construed as anything, when the nation is battling "rigged" and "lock her up" claims left and right from the opposing candidate. It's irresponsible at the very best, and politically motivated at the worst.

 

[teiresias]

So even Comey was doing this out of obligation. It probably is really nothing then.

Fulfilling his obligation the way he did is analogous to someone fulfilling their obligation to tell a sexual partner they may have given them an STD by sending a text that says nothing but "You might want to get tested"

 

[Barzul]

Here's the link to NY times article guys

NY Times: New Emails in Clinton Case Came From Anthony Weiner’s Electronic Devices

 

[Y2Kev]

lol wiener

 

[Plinko]

Let's not pretend Comey didn't know what he was doing. He knows exactly what he is doing.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Weird that the writers wanted to tie up the Weiner subplot.

 

[Iolo]

So, mostly likely scenario, the FBI was looking at Weiner's phone, and they find 3 e-mails from Huma Abedin mentioning HRC's private server in passing, and EVERYBODY LOSES THEIR FUCKING SHIT.

Oh my god

Huma found sexts on Weiner's device, fired off an email on it to Hillary saying HRC should drone him

The existence of the drone program was classified

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Well that was quite the ride

 

[Boke1879]

This might get a mention going forward but this is nothing

 

[Geg]

We have to worry about the optics of the lowest common denominator that is not capable of critical thought or reasoning.

They're already Trump supporters

 

[Goodstyle]

FUCKING WEINER

No fucking way, you guys are bullshitting me.

 

[Chumley]

Andrea Mitchell throwing shade, Wolf Blitzer showing emotion at Trump surrogates

Sending good thoughts. I fractured my arm when I was in kindergarten. Shit wasn't fun.

Also, pro-tip: The padded walls they have in gyms aren't that well padded at all.

 

[RustyNails]

The Huff Post front page, doe.

Mark Kirk is kicking back somewhere with a scotch suddenly feeling much better

 

[kadotsu]

The last two hours were literally Burn After Reading in real life.

 

[Joeytj]

Dat Mitchell chutzpah.

 

[tedrotheredro]

I guess Huma's blackberry wasn't one of the phones smashed with a hammer and bleached.

 

[thebloo]

Huff Post pulling a DRUDGE.

 

[thefro]

So might be Huma's handling of info being investigated, not even Hillary at this point.

 

[ShironRedshift]

That the immediate reaction from Republicans was trying to argue about how to make it harder for black people to vote says something though.

That was revealing and can be nice to point to later on.

Good tweets to save.

Yeah. I mean, not that they need any excuse to do that and aren't trying to anyway, but still. The more and more transparent they make that, the better.

Aww. Sending good thoughts! ^__^
