FBI Director Comey says agency won’t recommend charges over Clinton email

[phill4paul]

aaannnnd nothing comes of it. Surprised?


FBI Director James B. Comey notified key members of Congress Sunday afternoon that after reviewing all of the newly discovered Hillary Clinton emails the agency stands by its original findings against recommending charges.

Comey wrote that investigators had worked “around the clock” to review all the emails found on a device used by former congressman Anthony Weiner that had been sent to or from Clinton and that “we have not changed our conclusions expressed in July.”

Dammit. Well we already knew that authority is useless anyway.

Would have been comical to see it used against their own team.

The upside is that they didn't get to play "hero" furthering the idea that the man is on your side and is here to keep you safe.

[UWDude]

Nobody really expected the FBI to help, did they? Amazing, they said they would not get it done before the elections. Taa daa! They did it! With two days to spare!

Well, that's it folks, Hillary has the FBI's seal of honesty.

No. The head of the executive branch and his DOJ lackey made sure this went nowhere in a hurry. So much for the "arrests imminent" FUD.

[UWDude]

I was worried that the media would blame Hilary's loss on the FBI investigation. Now that that is out of the way, they will have nothing to blame.

To me, this election is far more about really knifing the media, than Trump winning, although I do believe Trump will purge stalin style lots of democrats. It is disconcerting, because it means a right wing dictatorship in the making. But really, to see justice metted out on half of the evil in the US would be sweet. And eventually, there would be revenge, and the right wing would also be purged.

Good days are ahead, if Trump wins. Hopefully the purges get bloody. If Hillary wins, well, more WW III.

But honestly, the US is still fucked. Too divided now. No way in hell Hillary's identity politics heals the nation. So I am not sure how well WW III can be executed with a populace on the verge of shattering.

Anyways, like I said before, I'll just sit back, and have a laugh. You got to admit, this has been a hell of a lot of fun, watching politicians bead sweat, and the press start to shit bricks, as they realize their country, and careers, are very near the end. I feel like I am watching a movie I have seen before. Some kind of anime or something. (I dont really watch movies, so...)

But investigation is still going on.

How can such a declaration be made so quickly before the investigation is concluded? Or this was a gimmick under politica pressure from Dem politicians/DNC insiders?

That is hard to believe.

The head of the executive branch is one of the most honest and law abiding politicians in US history.

Yep, I figured all along that the only reason they reopened the investigation was so they could once again close it BEFORE the election.

Not that there ever was any REAL investigation, anyway.

Still, the down-to-the-wire timing of this is truly astounding in its blatant transparency. Just in time for the MSM to re-tool tomorrow's final day headlines.

Comey did damage to hillary over this latest, don't kid yourself.

[GunnyFreedom]

I'd say since JFK.

No, there was no such confidence that Nixon would get off, and indeed I am confident that he would not have. During the 80's there was a lot of anger in the world, but nobody thought Reagan was really 'above the law.'

I will say 16 years was probably too short, 24 years is probably more accurate. Bill Clinton's first term should have demonstrated that the ruling class is now above the law.

[GunnyFreedom]

Comey did damage to hillary over this latest, don't kid yourself.

Looks to me like Comey just UN-did all the damage that Wikileaks has been doing for a year now. Now any fence sitters will think the whole mess was all flash and no substance.

[rprprs]

Faux is claiming that the investigation into the Clinton Foundation is still ongoing, for whatever that's worth. Not much, I imagine.

[Mach]

That "Investigation" was just a computer scan for particular words, it's not like they actually went in and looked... well, well, isn't that convenient?

Agree. My only caveat is that the number of fence sitters has been minimal to statistically insignificant for quite some time now.

[GunnyFreedom]

100% true, fence sitter was not really the right word, it was simply the best word I had at the time. There remains a class of Dem voter that may have sat the race out who now see no reason to.

[misterx]

I don't think many people that were going to sit it out are going to jump up now after a week long investigation and say, "I better go vote for her". It might be enough to have an impact in Nevada, NH, and PA. We'll find out soon enough.

[jonhowe]

I'd bet any amount of money that if Trump wasn't the opponent, the outcome of this investigation would look different.

[Madison320]

Betting odds are all the way back to 83% Clinton. It had been down to 70% last week.

At least my investment strategy is safe. I'm counting on government to do the wrong thing, spend, borrow, print, low rates. I'm 100% sure Hillary will keep doing the wrong thing. Who knows with Trump?

Yup. Americans don't know the difference between the email scandal and wikileaks. In their mind, same thing. FBI says nothing. Nothing to see in wikileaks.

Hillary has obtained the list of the FBI dissidents within the department. Stupid schmucks are going to get what they deserve for being so gullible. Remember that Edward Snowden tried to repeatedly appeal to his superiors too. But Snowden realized immediately that no internal justice was possible within these unscrupulous organizations. Now these guys are going to be destroyed one by one with nothing to show for it.

Well, good luck with that. Problem is her liability status has receeded and she is once again a 'safe' vote for those who were staying away. I have no doubt that the election betting pools will all have Hillary back up near her zenith Monday.

My view is, this is a Hail Mary pass by Team Clinton, to cloud or neutralize the mess for the purposes of the election, hope to pull off or rig a win, then smother it all afterwards. Alex Jones played back an analysis last week by Larry Nichols on his show today, predicting this exact strategy behind Comey suddenly re-opening the probe. It was not a troll, it was an emergency salvage operation to get ahead of the curve on the NYPD, rebel FBI, Wikileaks, Anonymous and other independent parties dropping the email bombs on the contents of Weiner's PC.

The problem for this desperate tactic is that 1) 48 hours before 11/8 is too small a window to undo the PR damage done to her campaign over the last week. 2) Comey's latest cop-out is even less credible than his previous attempts to excuse away Clinton criminality, as it amounts to his now having changed his story three times. 3) the Clinton media and campaign will not look credible changing its story on Comey twice in one week, from beating up on the FBI Director then citing him positively for re-exonerating her. It's too pathetically obvious, even for average voters to accept, as it conforms more to Trump's narrative that the system is rigged.

4) Most of all, the spin plan is both too little and too late to reverse Trump's momentum, and too puny to overcome the multiple leaking sources bringing down the Clinton shadow regime. Hillary could not have possibly anticipated defending herself from scandal all during the final week, or Trump surging to within a MOE tie in 6-7 BLUE states the weekend before the election---all he needs is a pick up of 1-2 of them to offset any surprise loss he might get in one of the battleground states. Trump has closed strong, on a positive note, and energized his vote to the max (he now enjoys 90% support by GOP voters). His closing argument is, "let's make America great again," while Hillary's best closing argument is "hey, I got cleared of all charges." At this point it's Trump's race to lose.

Wikileaks chimes in on the quickness of the FBI to analyze so many emails.

"Trumphumper" is not a euphemism (https://www.google.com/search?q=define+euphemism). In fact, it's the exact opposite - it is a dysphemism (https://www.google.com/search?q=define+dysphemism).
