I pointed this gem out..... right after it came out. The emails appear to be pertinent, but at the same time they don't know the significance of them? That makes no sense. A Comey quote so cryptic that no one could ever understand it. This has Democrats and Republicans going nuts.
on msnbc, pete williams is hammering the point home that all comey meant by "pertinent" is that a new potential source of emails came out (weiner's computer); i.e., a new place to look. but that comey didn't mean to imply that he actually reviewed any emails yet or knows what they contain.
if that's true, my god, his letter to congress couldn't have been more poorly worded
now reporter from NYtimes says that they are reviewing tens of thousands of emails (everything on his computer i guess) and that this will take months
sadly for Trump supporters it's 10 days till the election
So what Comey did was create mass panic for absolutely no reason. His comments are now impacting a Presidential election. There are protocols in the FBI, this was handled beyond wrong. Standard protocol is shut up unless you are charging someone with something, and don't start rumors that could affect any election. He can't release any more info, even if it's "big league" info and someone is getting charged, like tomorrow. Until the charges are filed...he's supposed to be quiet. So the point in him doing this....well that is anyone's guess.
I mailed in my ballot with my support going to Gary Johnson. Look at the bigger picture and deal with it!!!!

Is this the same Trump sexual assault scandal that Druff personally debunked on PFA? The supposed victim released a video in link and r/politics (Clinton propaganda section)is giving this a platform. If this is fake then that's fucked up.

So yeah again Comey did exactly what he was supposed to.
He reported it to 8 congressmen, which is his job, and one of them, a bag of dicks named Chaffetz (R of course) leaked the report and tweeted a totally batshit interpretation of its contents (re-opening investigation etc), which the media picked up and went wild with.

Regarding the recent Hillary e-mail case being "reopened"...
Look, I understand what Chaffetz did would be considered unethical under normal circumstances.
However, I see it like the OJ Simpson thing in Nevada.
OJ was totally over-charged and over-sentenced for a crime which wasn't all that bad. By itself, this would have been a miscarriage of justice, but none of us felt bad for him because we all knew he got away with murder in California, so this was kind of the criminal justice system's way of making up for that.
When OJ got that sentence, most of us collectively said, "That's kind of a long sentence for something like this, but... ummm... we get it."
Same thing here.
Hillary got away with something she shouldn't have. If a private in the Army had committed the exact same offenses, he would have been court martialed and convicted. Hillary was treated differently because she's Hillary Clinton. That's the way it's always been with both Clintons, and they're used to it. That's why they bend and break the law so often. They know they always get away with it in the end. The Clintons beleve there is one set of rules for them, and another set for the rest of us. This is why it absolutely disgusts me to see Hillary so close to becoming a beloved historical figure -- an honor she does not deserve.
On the day Comey announced she wouldn't be charged, he first outlined all the ways she lied and broke the law. I knew that it sounded too good to be true. I knew that a "But we're not charging her" was coming later in the speech, and sure enough, that's what we got.
Nobody knows for sure why Comey didn't charge her. Some feel that he didn't want to the weight on his shoulders of basically deciding the Presidential election. Others felt that Bill Clinton's weird "airplane" meeting with Loretta Lynch had a lot to do with it. Even others felt that the Justice Department being under Obama's thumb figured a lot into it in the first place.
Bottom line is that there were clearly a lot of powerful influences in determining not to charge Hillary for what she did. If the DOJ doesn't want someone charged, the FBI isn't going to charge them.
Comey even had a really hard time explaining his decision under questioning by Trey Gowdy.
Given that Hillary wormed out of this one, and thus saved her candidacy, I don't mind that this is popping back into the spotlight now, even if some shady moves had to occur to make it happen.
It probably won't matter. We're only 10 days before the election, and there simply won't be any major developments in that time frame.
Still, you can't feel bad for Hillary. It's not like she's the victim of baseless accusations or hearsay. She is guilty of both intentional mishandling of classified material AND obstruction of justice. Do you really believe she deleted 33,000 e-mails (beyond recovery) because she didn't want anyone to see her discussions about yoga class and Chelsea's wedding? I mean, those explanations are so ludicrous that they seem like they're straight out of an unrealistic political farce.
The e-mail is back in the news because it never should have left the news in the first place.
That was a pretty bad gaffe. Not sure what Trump was thinking.
He's probably so used to black people protesting that he automatically jumps to the conclusion without thinking further. Stupid.
BTW Barry, while that Vox article seems fine, I hope you can admit that Vox has generally been terrible during this election season.
I actually read pieces from both sides of the aisle, and I find that Vox is the left-wing site most guilty of publishing misleading or downright false articles. They've really become a sad mouthpiece of the extreme left.
I have found that certain right wing sites suffer from the same issues, but from what I've seen, these tend to be fringe sites without a huge following. Vox is way too big to be putting out as high of percentage of crap articles as they do. Sadly, I keep seeing well-meaning liberals attempting to quote Vox articles on Facebook, only to be made fools of when people point out all the holes. Often the people criticizing the holes are centrist types, so it's not a matter of people actively searching for ways to rebut them.
Vox is really just a shit operation.
Maybe they're doing this on purpose because that's what their readership wants to see. I know that's what some of the right wing sites are doing. I've seen some of those sites publish misleading or poorly-reasoned articles simply to pacify their right-wing audiences, and I cringe when I read them, knowing pandering bullshit when I see it.
I just hope you see the same pandering bullshit when you read Vox.
