Sad that a 400lbs hacker in Germany is the one that likely forced the FBI's hand in this. It also shows you the power of common people when they want to get stuff done.

Good times!!!


I know, that ain't happening.

Obama getting a 3rd term would probably be best for America so let's hope it's true

It’s almost unthinkable,” Mrs. Clinton said on Monday, referring to what she called recent “credible reports about Russian interference in our elections”...
A former quote by Hillary. Below, a new audio leak about a Palestine election:
“I do not think we should have pushed for an election in the Palestinian territories. I think that was a big mistake,” said Sen. Clinton. “And if we were going to push for an election, then we should have made sure that we did something to determine who was going to win.”

Our president!!!

I think its' funny how crazy and how much it blew up when Trump didn't say he'd concede if he lost the election.

But Hillary has now been caught allegedly working to rig 3 elections, and that's just not as big of a deal as Trump not conceding. Ho hum!

Re-opening a case like this 11 days before the election, seems implausible that they'd do this without something pretty damning, no?

Or rushing it along to clear it up before she is elected and in as president is the other side.

Going to assume the latter is worse.

Pretty risky move as this will cause the election to be closer than we thought it was going to be yesterday.

It just feels like if it wasn't something pretty serious they'd just wait til after the election, let her become President, go through the motions then state again that they won't indict her.

Something about the "sexting" thing with that Weiner guy.

That's all I got.

This could come back and bite her in the ass by demanding whatever it is gets releases.

From CNN it stems from an investigation into Wiener, his estranged wife (Aberdeen) works extremely close to her campaign.

Very interested to see what this one is all about as it could definitely swing the election into Trump's favor if the dark cloud hangs around for too long. Could have a negative impact on Democratic voter turnouts across the nation.

Just magical...and sad.

Apparently in investigating the Wiener weiner incident or something, they found something they deemed important enough to reopen the case. You can't make up a better absurd storyline.

A high ranking chairwoman (Huma Adebin) is Anthony Weiner's estranged wife. Huma was not only involved in the email server stuff, but she actually sent emails directly from Hillary's account. The thought process is that she forwarded emails to or through a device that was being investigated in the sexting trial.

My personal thoughts:
- There's nothing directly in the email that will implicate her
- My guess is Comey is either getting pinched by those under him to reopen it and give it a fair shake... or an external source has come to them with something and they are going to use this as a way to invoke the NSA and dig into to uncover whatever the external source has.
- I don't even remotely believe that whatever is in these few emails on the device is a enough to do anything to her.

I agree with this. But, it may be enough to lower voter turnout by Democrats as she is already viewed in a negative light (just as Trump)

Yea..... We been tipping the scales as we see fit in foreign policy for close to a 100 years so not really something that should surprise anyone in our country.

It's possible that we are experiencing the craziest political/societal shift in the history of the United States. This is so far beyond Clinton vs Trump... Assange, O'Keefe, Kim Dotcom, Anonymous... and now the FBI... it is literally everything you could ever imagine that it is, minus unicorns... so far.

And yet, Americans as a whole don't really care, and Clinton will be elected as President, while under investigation by the FBI. I believe she's also under investigation for the Clinton Foundation, right?

So 2 FBI investigations for our President, no biggie.
