FBI probing new Clinton emails

Comey did not believe he had anything "substantial enough" to bring charges against Hillary, but anyone that is not biased should be willing to admit that it is VERY obvious that "substantial enough" information has come to light to be called, "significant" since Comey has changed his steps. For some to immediately assume and defend that it is not significant is quite telling. QUACK!

Yeah, you should get your facts straight.

1. The FBI agents investigating Anthony Weiner's sexting scandal found emails involving his ex-wife Huma Abedin that went through Hillary's private server. They didn't think much of it until they found a whole bunch of them, a couple thousand at least.

2. By law, since they didn't have a search warrant for reading Huma Abedin's emails they had to get a search warrant. They are not supposed to have read any of Huma's emails. This caused them to inform Comey, which they did on Thursday. Comey's announcement, saying the emails "could be pertinent" came on Friday. They also asked for a search warrant.

3. They've since got the search warrant, so they can now legally read the emails. Whether or not they contain significant new information, well, we'll have to wait and see.

He didn't read the emails, see new damning evidence, realize he couldn't cover it up, so he made an announcement and is going to drop the bomb later this week. I know that's the narrative that Trumpies like to fantasize about, but that's not how it went down.

You should realize I see right through your "rationalizing" away the simple and common sense truth that something substantial enough was discovered to cause this action. Yet you go on to (quack) defend it and declare that it was (quack) "probably nothing of significance". If you don't think Comey knew enough about what was in those emails before taking this DRASTIC action - that is simply your own mind being naive enough to buy into with your buddies making these liberal agenda arguments. - and sorry, but you have forgone simple common sense.

How could he know if it was significant without actually reading it, which is prohibited without a search warrant?

It's not DRASTIC action, it's CYA action by Comey.

It's probably not significant stuff because of the reports that many of the emails are duplicates that the FBI has already seen.

You're the one that's taken leave of common sense. Wishing and hoping for a last minute hail Mary victory by Trump.

Scanning through the satellite and ROKU news shows there seems to be hysteria among the liberal talking heads and a kind of euphoria among the Trumpets.

Sad either way when the care of the nation gets lost under a tsunami of emotional partisanship with folks walking all over each others feelings.

What is happening? I'll be glad to see November 9th (I guess).

Nothing wrong with Trump pundits being happy, though, is there? They finally caught a break.

And feelings? This is politics. They've all become comfortably numb.

Politics is all about emotions. No reason or logic involved. That is why most political arguments are futile. You can't win an emotional argument using logic and reason.

AGREED. Which is why it's so hard to argue with a liberal. They are all about feelings and no logic.

It is certainly acrimonious. But that is nothing new.

In the 1884 Presidential Campaign each side had favorite slogans:

"Blaine, Blaine, James G. Blaine, The Continental Liar from the State of Maine" - Repeated over and over by Grover Cleveland, who won the election. (Echos of "Crooked Hillary" and "Lying Ted?")

It refers to Blaine's involvement in unethical business deals with the railroad industry and his behavior after they were exposed. Uh, like attacking Trump's business practices?

Then there is "Ma, Ma, Where's my Pa, Gone to the White House, Ha, Ha, Ha!" Cleveland's opponent, James Blaine's slogan.

Refers to the out of wedlock child Cleveland allegedly had fathered.

American politics has always been mean and dirty. We have just taken it to a new extreme this election cycle.

It was bad enough that Jackson's wife was divorced (a scandal in 1828) but in reality she was still married to her first husband when she and Jackson were married! And that Jackson had been a slave trader didn't help his image.

Of course Adams didn't fare too well either. He was accused of procuring an under age servant girl for the Czar's pleasure while Minister to Russia (the word "pimp" was even wispered). He was also accused of turning the White House into a gambling den. He crime? He had a pool table installed in his quarters.

But still, Jackson managed to unseat the incumbent Adams and became President.

Ah! American politics. Never a dull moment. :D:D:D
