Support NeoGAF

So lets do some poligaf detective stuff

Huma turned over all her devices to FBI during the investigation. Investigation pretty much closed with no recommendation for indictment.

Now Weiner is caught sexting a kid. FBI obtain his laptop and recover 650k emails. FBI field office in NY inform the HQ that hey guys, we see some emails from Hillary's private server maybe you guys wanna look at? That leads to our current situation. Lets look at our possible scenarios (lets ignore the fact that Huma said she doesn't know how the emails ended up in Weiner laptop):

1) Huma knowingly did not submit Weiner laptop. Which will mean she's the biggest idiot in the world, and there is absolutely no evidence to support this assertion. At least when Weiner got caught, she would know the feds will take his laptop and find her emails.

2) Huma forgot that she used Weiner laptop. This could lead her into trouble because she told the Judicial Watch lawyers that these are all the devices where the emails were sent/received on. Again, she'd have to be really dumb.

3) Weiner broke into her laptop and was spying on her. This does not make much sense other than...I don't know, conspiracy theories. It doesn't make sense to me.

Anyone have more scenarios?

Weiner somehow gained unauthorized access to her email to spy on her because he thought she might be cheating? I wouldn't be the first time I saw and heard of this happening.
It happened to my mom. Step-dad keylogged the computer and gained access to my moms email. He also wiretapped the phone line. Pretty fucking awful.


Also 650,000 emails is a fuck ton. I wonder how much is spam/porn?

 

[StopMakingSense]

probably response rates but the funny thing is does Trump have the ground game to turn those respondents into votes?

...Nope.

God that Vegas story is just too funny.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

I think Weiner is enough of a creep to be paranoid and spy on his wife's emails

I'd just like to point you guys thought the deplorable thing was genius as well. You're too far into the partisanship to see a good message versus a mud slinging message. Demanding information and transparency makes you look better than calling Comey partisan and all that.

We have no idea what effect the deplorable comment had, since it happened the day before she died in TV

Haha as we've seen he can't even get the people fired up to vote for him to the polls

Oh god this is how we learn the Hillary/Huma thing is real, isn't it?

 

[TumblingHippo]

It would seem, thinking about it logicaly (or as logically as it can be in this race) that if Trump can bounce back from the Access Hollywood video and the sexual assault allegations (lol if that's even a possible thing) that Hillary, after bouncing back from the 9/11 collapse, should be able to bounce right back from a vague non-scandal?

I'm really betting on that I won't be wrong.

This is so fucking good.

This whole Comey thing is why you don't try and work with people who don't want to work with you. As soon as it became clear the GOP wouldn't work with Obama he should have gone full fire and brimstone on their asses. Until the GOP improves into being an actual political party rather than a clown car again, I don't want any Democrat president to nominate any Republican for any job, ever.

Was there ever any evidence that the deplorable comment hurt her? Like evidence of causation rather than like correlation?

 

[thebloo]

My mistake, some people here thought it was some brilliant strategy.

I still think it was ok. Not 4D chess, but overall it's a positive. The "half" part dropped off the radar quickly and the rest of the statement is true and it started a discussion.

70% think Obama is not American, 40% think she's a demon, etc. That discussion doesn't start without the "deplorables".

Except there's 8 days left. Thought the actual impact of those things may be overblown given that they just influenced response rates and those people were always voting Trump or Clinton in the end.

There's no evidence that there is anything to bounce back from yet.

This message from Harry Reid to Comey...

Good. Comey has revealed himself to be a partisan politician hiding behind the excuse of transparency and saying he's not trying to influence the election while his actions clearly are.

That polling cycle overlapped with the pneumonia thing, so not really.

Difference here being that she had three public debates to assist that bounce. Now she's got nothing.

(I don't think Trump's going to win by any stretch of the imagination)

The "deplorables thing" did fuck-all for anyone. No effect on the race. Those dummies "appopriated it" and are still running with it now and no one gives a shit.

 

[Tamanon]

The Blueprint ad for Trump is alright, but I think his ads are ruined by his yelling "I'm Donald Trump and I approve this message" at the end.

 

[RustyNails]

My mistake, some people here thought it was some brilliant strategy.

Someone earlier posted a tweet saying Comey is going to be on radio silence for remainder of election. This is just a tactic to make Comey say something. Reid is just applying force. The other tactic is to shield Hillary from the collateral damage and make the narrative focus on Comey who's already embattled.

 

[Basileus777]

I do find it funny that people are worried that voters will dislike Reid's statement while they don't give a fuck when Republican elected officials do similar things daily. Hell, people here were calling Chaffetz a genius 2 days ago.

Everyone is pissed ha.

 

[GoldenEye 007]

That is a stunning charge by Reid regarding the Trump Russia ties. I mean, it is obvious to anyone with a brain, but to just lay it out clearly and openly like that is crazy.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

I mean, I fucking hate Tom Cotton and the rest of the GOP for pulling stunts so some voters do care.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

In my communications with you and other top officials in the national security community, it has become clear that you possess explosive information about close ties and coordination between Donald Trump, his top advisors, and the Russian government

What if this is the long fabled oppo droppo

 

[daedalius]

Reid be pissed

 

[Tranqueris]

Jesus, if that's how hard they're hitting back against Comey I really don't see him lasting the next week. Maybe, that's just wishful thinking on my part. I would really love to see the words "Comey Resigns" on a headline before the election is over.

 

[Debirudog]

this is really just guilt by association at the end of the day.

Huma didn't do shit, Hillary didn't do shit but if you're wife of a sleazebag, instant media lockdown.

 

[faisal233]

What if this is the long fabled oppo droppo

Even if Dems were going to not leak this because it's classified, I doubt they have the same objections anymore. Politics is a contact sport, sometimes you just gotta lay a motherfucker out.

 

[Makai]

What if this is the long fabled oppo droppo

That was dropped months ago

 

[NYCmetsfan]

@TomCottonAR Tom Cotton Retweeted Brit Hume
Harry Reid is a disgrace to American politics, among worst men ever in Senate. He can't go soon enough, & many Democrats privately agree.

Or could be something entirely innocent, like she gets a new laptop, has some IT guy copy across all the email stuff, donates old laptop to Weiner not realising that copies of emails still on it.

 

[faisal233]

No, actual evidence. We know trump is Putin puppet and we also know that trump is a sexual predator, irrefutable evidence of either a week before the election will dominate the news cycle and depress his vote.

Are you fucking kidding me?

I can't wait until this fucker gets owned in 2020.

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

No, not hard, explicit evidence that the Trump campaign was coordinating with the Russian government. That was definitely not dropped months ago.

 

[RustyNails]

That was dropped months ago

It was insinuated. Manafort was the bagman for Kremlin, that was the end of it.

If Reid is saying FBI has some damning evidence, I think he's on to something.

 

[hipsterpants]

so I'm getting the idea that Friday's shenanigans have legitimately convinced Trump's campaign that victory is within their grasp

tom cotton is a piece of shit

What person, department, or agency gets to decided if Comey violated the Hatch Act?

[faisal233]

DOJ or special prosecutor would be my guess. Then goes to court.

 

[nature boy]

Parts of that Reid letter is too much, IMO.

Minority Leader needs to keep it above the fray

 

[Chumly]

Well if the FBI is not partisan then comey should come up and at least tell the American people that they are investigating trump Russia ties. I mean you can't have this be one sided. Whether or not trump is completely innocent the FBI should announce whether or not they are reviewing anything

 

[RustyNails]

What person, department, or agency gets to decided if Comey violated the Hatch Act?

DoJ.

Some sort of hard proof that Trump is a Russian puppet would be a real October or November surprise.

Bullshit, outgoing minority leader can get in the mud. Too much bullshit above the fray with the Democrats, Comey and the GOP wants to insinuate all kinds of shit about Clinton, turnabout is fair play.

DoJ.
