Really looking like there's just emails between besties Huma and Hillary on this computer/account, they have no idea what is in them, if anything is relevant at all, or if anything is even new, and Comey just felt like the "prudent" thing to do would be to give Congress a heads up ten days before the election. FFS.
Hey bro. Nice to see you
How about Billy Corgan on Alex Jones lately? Oh man it's just so sad

Dems care about the truth. They care about their agenda.
Hillary is speaking from prison. Comey will let us know when
Thats just the way we are man.
I agree but we worry that people can't see the truth. We know this new FBI investigation will end up being another witch hunt but we are afraid that non-Trump supporters won't be able to see this. If it was Trump in this spot, Republicans wouldn't even bat an eye.
Yea the GOP doesn't give a shit about anything that "may make them look bad.
While I don't think this will move the needle much. We won't see the ramifications of this until like Tuesday IMO.
Obama's stonewalling was about stonewalling Obama; it didn't matter what policy he put forth because they were always going to stop him on principle. The only reason they didn't do the exact same thing to Bill is because Republicans used to have a sliver of sanity. Now? You've got people like Ted Cruz who are constantly trying to pull the plug over every minor offense; 90's Republicans wanted smaller government, the ones we've got now want no government.
I fully expect more of the same, and congressional hearings every time Hillary scratches her ass. She may break the glass ceiling getting elected but she's gonna be stuck under a microscope lens for as long as she serves.

We are already here.
I have a whole second story that's almost done, but it's still missing some things. The preview will have to suffice for now. If anyone still cares about Hair Mouse, anyway.

With our luck if Hillary forces Comey to resign he'll trip down a flight of stairs and the next four years will be nothing but looking into "The Murder of Jim Comey"
You are out for blood lol

The lack of price controls is a big part of it. I am sure there are a ton of factors though/

I don't think it should be fixed. Public option is the solution.
LA Times is also reporting that most of the emails aren't even to or from Hillary, and have already been inspected:
Comey is a mess.

Can't wait!
Also, that guy who does those pro-Trump anime pictures has a new one. Hillary is a witch commanding evil stormtroopers, naturally. Oddly, neither Paul Ryan nor Obama appear, though the Bushes apparently do.
Edit: wait, is that depressed guy on the right supposed to be Obama?

I would wish Comey makes a public statement. But he won't.

a public option would dismantle the entire for profit insurance industry in the US, which is absolutely not a small amount of money.
the second you propose it, you will be swarmed with billions of dollars in negative ads and lobbying efforts to kick anyone who supports it out of office.
This is why hillarycare failed in the 90s. The industry opposed it, and spent an astronomical amount of money to successfully demonize it.
You want to propose something as dramatic as a public option, you need to accomplish campaign finance reform first- and that is itself a very high bar to clear.

There was a tweet from Josh Marshall, editor of Talking Points Memo, a few hours ago, that said something like, 'I've been hinted at very strongly that Chaffetz was told about the emails and forced Comey to write the letter'.
It was deleted shortly after and replaced with a much milder tweet saying 'it could be that Chaffetz forced him to write the letter' ...

They even talked about it with Obama, but probably couldn't seeing as they found absolutely nothing to charge him with. They've suggested doing it for Benghazi, actions on imigration, and actions on access to school bathrooms, but you'd have to be all the way sold into the far right wing to think those were impeachable actions.
If the email thing came out after hillary became president, or if damning new information comes out after she's president, I could see them trying, but hopefully Hillary will keep clean enough that they can't do it no matter how much they want to.

Looks like a revolt inside the FBI
Dems need to stop giving a fuck about "how it looks." This is why we're constantly extending olive branches and constantly getting burned in return. Y'all say it all the time, fuck optics.
When the left, right, and FBI itself is furious at Comey at his blatant incompetence on such an important matter at such a critical time, there's no argument for him to stay on but...optics.
Fuck that. Give him the boot.

So anyone want some anecdotal stories?
Youngest kiddo and I did some phone banking this morning. Obviously, we're talking to the converted, but 3 people specifically mentioned the Comey thing. And all 3 were fucking livid. (All were women). None were mad at Hillary. One woman went on a lovely little tirade about how "Of course they would do this when it looks like the first woman is going to win!"
So, take that for the nothing that it's worth. Also, the older women got a kick out of the kiddo telling them why he wanted Hillary.

People on Facebook must have forgotten and "and to the Republic for which it stands" part of their pledge...
Yeah, it's leaks galore today. Newsweek also has sources saying the emails aren't to and from Hillary and aren't new. All just because out of "an abundance of caution".
My ass.
Somebody in the OT said that Josh Marshall hinted that there are rumors that Chaffetz pressured Comey to write the letter.
