Less than two weeks before the election and the SAME day that positive economic news was released.

FBI Reviewing New Emails 'Pertinent' To Clinton Email Probe
by KASIE HUNT, CORKY SIEMASZKO and PETE WILLIAMS


The FBI revealed Friday it was reviewing a new batch of emails that "appear to be pertinent" to its previous investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of a private server while she was secretary of state.

"In connection with an unrelated case, the FBI has learned of the existence of emails that appear to be pertinent to the investigation," FBI director James Comey said in a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee. "I agreed that the FBI should take appropriate investigative steps designed to allow investigators to review these emails to determine whether they contain classified information, as well as to assess their importance to our investigation."

A senior law enforcement official told NBC News Friday that the Comey letter was sent to the Hill "out of an abundance of caution" and to be extra-thorough.

The official said the emails were discovered "on another device."

There's no indication, the official said, that Clinton, her campaign or the State Department was withholding information. But the emails were not held by someone who was investigated in the Clinton email case, the official said.

Snip>>>

Still, some congressional Democrats told NBC News Friday that they are frustrated that Comey issued the letter reopening this issue without providing much in the way of specifics.

So the emails have nothing to do with the Clinton e-mail faux scandal? Comey better come clean and explain just exactly what he's talking about.

I hope the first thing HRC does in office is fire Comey. He is a partisan hack

This news is posted on both the AP and ABC news sites, but when I
tried to post the link, it only reported on Comey's new investigation.

Ugly.

Details of FBI: They found 3 emails that "might" be relevant to the case. None of them were withheld by Clinton.

The optics are bad because the media made them bad, but this is a big nothing. Comey reported it because he was obligated to, and the media picked it up in the most disgusting and sensationalist way.

Anything to build the horse race.

And there MUST be a better source than "Twitter" for "FBI Says New Emails Are Not From Clinton"

Perhaps we need to wait for a while, until a news source better than "Twitter" confirms this.

Perhaps Comey's boss, President Obama, could call him and TELL him to hold a news conference TODAY!!!

The President owes that not just to us, or to the Clinton campaign, but to the nation.


(K&R by the way, Twitter notwithstanding)

For the media and Clinton haters they just hear "Investigation", "Email" and "Clinton" and fill in their own scenario.

Try and get any of them to actually explain what they actually know about "Scandals" like "Whitewater" and well... Yargle bargle!
