Will Hillary be taken down by a weiner?

Ironic, yes, but don’t get too excited. It might be different had Comey not so totally screwed up the investigation from the start.

Unexpectedly, the FBI has decided to re-open its investigation into the clinton emails:

An October surprise exploded in the presidential race Friday.

The FBI suddenly announced that it is reopening its investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails after learning of new documents “that appear to be pertinent to the investigation.”

The bureau’s stunning move came less than two weeks before Election Day.

“In connection with an unrelated case, the FBI has learned of the existence of emails that appear to be pertinent to the investigation. I am writing to inform you that the investigative team briefed me on this yesterday, and 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,” FBI Director James Comey said in a letter to House Oversight Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz.

Seems that in the course of investigating Carlos Danger’s sexting a 15 year old girl emails were discovered on the computer shared by Huma Abedin and Weiner.

FBI Director James Comey told members of Congress in a letter that “in connection with an unrelated case, the FBI learned of the existence of e-mails that appear to be pertinent’’ to his probe.

A law-enforcement source told The Post the e-mails came from an electronic device seized from Weiner and his wife, top Clinton aide Huma Abedin, as part of the federal investigation of Weiner’s ­sext messages to a 15-year-old girl.

The feds confiscated four devices from the two, including a laptop Weiner used to send sleazy messages to the teenager.

They also found e-mails that Abedin either sent or received on the laptop they shared. The lead investigator in that case reported them to Comey.

This entire episode has made me extremely cynical and caution is indicated:

At the same time, however, given that we do not know the significance of this newly discovered collection of emails, I don’t want to create a misleading impression. In trying to strike that balance, in a brief letter, and in the middle of an election season, there is significant risk of being misunderstood, but I wanted you to hear directly from me about it.

Indeed. Now on the one hand, you have to think that if the emails were all yoga routines and wedding plans the FBI would be dismissing what they found and the investigation would not be re-opened. On the other hand the investigation has been so compromised that it’s hard to imagine this amounting to much. No one knows what’s in these emails as a warrant is required to open them. The scuttlebutt is that there a large number of them on the computer.

There is a fun part to this. Comey was the darling of liberals once he announced his opinion not to bring charges against clinton but now their heads are exploding:

Comey acted not as an impartial investigator, but rather as a clinton advocate throughout the process. Key witnesses, including the clinton “fixer”, were immunized. Cheryl Mills was allowed to act as both a witness and a clinton attorney. Comey allowed the witnesses to destroy evidence and dictate the terms of the investigation:

Immunity deals for two top Hillary Clinton aides included a side arrangement obliging the FBI to destroy their laptops after reviewing the devices, House Judiciary Committee sources told Fox News on Monday.

Sources said the arrangement with former Clinton chief of staff Cheryl Mills and ex-campaign staffer Heather Samuelson also limited the search to no later than Jan. 31, 2015. This meant investigators could not review documents for the period after the email server became public — in turn preventing the bureau from discovering if there was any evidence of obstruction of justice, sources said.

The Republican chairman of the House Judiciary Committee fired off a letter Monday to Attorney General Loretta Lynch asking why the DOJ and FBI agreed to the restrictive terms, including that the FBI would destroy the laptops after finishing the search.

Not only did Comey not convene a grand jury, he blocked it:

A high-ranking source from within the agency told Fox News that agents involved in the Hillary email investigation were sickened by the decision to let her skate free of any accountability. The source said it was pretty unanimous among the agents that Clinton should have lost her security clearance, and that a majority felt she should be prosecuted. Over the weekend, former U.S. Attorney Joseph diGenova said that Comey is viewed as a “dirty cop,” noting that there appears to be an internal revolt against his leadership.

Now, we have two more agents coming forward saying that a grand jury should have been convened, and that Comey simply “stood in the way” of that. One thing that was odd about the investigation was that the FBI didn’t search Clinton’s house. Moreover, these agents were agitated that Comey kept referring to the Bureau (i.e. we) for discussing why no charged were filed, adding that he was never a special agent or an investigator in his legal career.

Comey did everything but shut the investigation down:

“We didn’t search their house. We always search the house. The search should not just have been for private electronics, which contained classified material, but even for printouts of such material,” he said.

“There should have been a complete search of their residence,” the agent pointed out. “That the FBI did not seize devices is unbelievable. The FBI even seizes devices that have been set on fire.”

No search warrants, no subpoenas:

Napolitano agreed, saying the FBI investigation was hampered from the beginning, because there was no grand jury, and no search warrants or subpoenas issued.

“The FBI could not seize anything related to the investigation, only request things. As an example, in order to get the laptop, they had to agree to grant immunity,” Napolitano said.

Comey never put clinton under oath.

It was upon all this sterling gumshoe detective work that Comey decided there was no intent on clinton’s part to be “extremely careless” in handling classified materials. He seems not to have left a single possibility for clinton facing accountability on the table.

Comey did not act as the Director of the FBI – he acted as the chief clinton attorney. So as much as I would like to see otherwise I do not believe this will reach hillary clinton. You might think that Huma Abedin would be at risk, but she’s already been immunized.

So where can this go? At the end of the day, I suspect that all the FBI will have on its hands is a weiner.

UPDATE

I neglected to add- no matter what’s found, who could possibly expect Loretta Lynch to indict clinton?

If the emails discovered had nothing personally to do with Hillary, then there would be no mention of this at this time.
Secondly, Comey stated that “The investigation has been reopened.” (Again, referring to Hillary).

At this point we can only guess at what that means, but my opinion is that Comey found Perjury and he found INTENT. He found emails contradicting Hillary’s testimony about having turned over everything.

If found guilty, this would disqualify Hillary from holding the highest office in America.

If Huma is found to have lied about anything she was questioned about after being granted immunity, doesn’t she lose her immunity?

I’ll bet Hillary is wondering how big this Weiner thing is going to get.

@DrJohn: True, but there are only a finite number of reasons possible for Comey’s actions this close to election day.
I would really love to hear other readers thoughts on what he found and why he took this extraordinary step.

Hillary calling for Comey to “put it all out there” is laughable. She knows it won’t happen during an investigation.

But he’s not the only one that knows what’s in there, HUMA knows as well and if Hillary wanted it all out there then she should take Huma out of hiding and parade her deceitful ass out there and just TELL US what’s on that pooter.

How often in the past have had the hopes of conservatives dashed to pieces by reality?
My condolences to you on your emtoional loss

Comey’s FBI is part of the Clinton campaign. Before election day they will announce that the new emails contain a nothingburger. Meanwhile they will suck the oxygen from the dangerous Wikileaks and Veritas revelations as part of the news cycle.

Hillary calling for Comey to “put it all out there” is laughable.
But now, it looks like that’s the Clinton team meme.
Robert Reich piled on the same theme:

If he has evidence, he must release it immediately.

Not going to happen.

Thing is, this investigation may last PAST the election and even PAST Inaugeration Day.
If it does, and if Trump is elected, a new AG may prosecute Hillary.
And Huma.
Depending, naturally, on what is found.

Today, RNC Communications Director, Sean Spicer, was on Smerconish (CNN).
He held up Huma’s Form OF 109 from 2013.
She swore she had turned over EVERYTHING that was State Dept. before signing.
That was a lie.
Will Hillary have to throw her under the bus to survive this scandal?
And, if she must, can she do it?
She is quite attached to Huma, has been for decades.
Known her, been close to her, since the Monica Lewinsky days.
Poor Smerconish!
He had to advocate for Trump’s side.
There is no room to advocate for Hillary anywhere.

Huma’s weiner is out of control. We know that.

However, Assange has said he will release the emails that will get Huma’s main squeeze arrested this coming week.

Comey is opening the investigation to keep from getting caught with his trousers around his ankles, just in case Assange actually has the goods on Hillary and the FBI looks like they have been choking their chicken for the last year.

Since Huma and the Hilldabeast are so intimate, don’t you think many of those yoga emails were addressed to her and she was Cc’ed on most of the incriminating wedding emails. Of course our immaculate preezie is possibly involved as well. Comey doesn’t want to look like the typical beltway ideologue and clueless sycophant, he is opening the investigation because the jig is up and he wants to stay out of the slammer and protect his pension.

@Skookum: Who is Huma’s main squeeze? Huma has been closer to HRC than her weiner the past 7 years.

Not her laptop, no

DOJ Complaint Filed Against FBI Director James Comey For Interfering In Presidential Election

DOJ Complaint Filed Against FBI Director James Comey For Interfering In Presidential Election

You got nothing, again, lol! Looks like a another shady hit job. The emails were not from her private server, the emails were sent to her they are not from her, the device in question is/was not hers, they’re looking at emails that were already released. The Clinton campaign is asking for more transparency about this specifically because it’s a non-issue.

5 Facts That Killed New Hillary Email Scandal In Less Than An Afternoon

http://reverbpress.com/news/5-facts-killed-new-hillary-email-scandal-less-afternoon/

@Nostradamus, #1:

If the emails discovered had nothing personally to do with Hillary, then there would be no mention of this at this time.

I think the proper word is should instead of would.

The Trump campaign is not attempting to win the election by focusing on their candidate’s qualifications or merit. They’re attempting to install him into the White House by default. This was a gift to them—a focus of attack on Clinton a few days ahead of the election that requires absolutely no presentation of facts.

@Greg: So, when exactly do you think it was when Comey made the switch from liberal lackey to Republican stooge?

More than likely, emails have been found revealing Huma and Hillary lied about turning over all the emails they had (duh). Possibly even more classified information stored illegally. Comey is facing a near revolt among his employees and ignoring this could result in the collapse of his Bureau.

Do you really think Hillary is getting a dose of her own medicine here? If so, I applaud it (wrong, but I do) but I think it more likely that some undeniable, un-hide-able, absolutely damning information was turned up because, beyond any possible doubt, Hillary is a lying criminal.

I never thought he was a liberal lackey. That was the tale the right was telling, remember?

He has truly screwed up in this instance. The timing of his statement could affect an election, while he acknowledges in the letter itself that the emails discovered may be of no significance to the past investigation. The timing looks suspicious, but I have no reason to suspect him of an intention to disrupt the election. It may have just been a bad judgement call.

I have been expecting some calculated deception days ahead of the election. It’s been apparent for quite a while that would be Trump’s only chance at a win. The Trump campaign will attempt to use the FBI’s announcement in that fashion, whatever Comey’s intention was. There may yet be some other play in the offing. I expected something more from Wikileaks.

According to Hillary’s media on her plane, Huma was on the plane Yesterday, but NOT on it today!
Also Huma has VOIDED her immunity deal with the FBI.
She did this by lying AFTER she got her immunity.
This means she has to sing or face jail time.
http://redstatewatcher.com/article.asp?id=45790
No wonder Hillary doesn’t want her around anymore.

@Greg:

I never thought he was a liberal lackey. That was the tale the right was telling, remember?

Exactly. It is all a matter of perspective, isn’t it? He was a great officer of the law when he was laying out Hillary’s crimes, then stating there was no reason to prosecute, but when he finds something that confirms that Hillary and Huma were obviously lying and does his job, he’s a tool of the Republicans. Just a little adjustment in perspective.

He has truly screwed up in this instance. The timing of his statement could affect an election, while he acknowledges in the letter itself that the emails discovered may be of no significance to the past investigation.

The timing is purely a function of the delaying tactics Hillary has been employing since the scandal was revealed. She is paying the price for the game she played. If you will recall, I said long ago that if she had nothing to hide, she should lay it all out and get the facts out in the open. As it turned out, she had much to hide, but hid it poorly.

Why would Comey put his head on the block to pull a stunt? This could mean his career and livelihood for the rest of his life. He would not have taken such an audacious step unless he was confident in backing it up; the media won’t shield him like it did when he went counter to the evidence or has Hillary. No, Comey has uncovered some legitimate dirt.

The left needs a diversion… STAT.

As of Saturday night the FBI has not even gotten a search warrant to READ the emails. I am afraid that our good doctor has inflated this even larger than the MILLIONS OF AMERICANS MAY DIE OF EBOLA BECAUSE OF OBAMA

Hitlary finds out FBI reopened email investigation – Downfall Parody

Please share if you enjoy!

@Bill… Deplorable Me, #17:

He was a great officer of the law when he was laying out Hillary’s crimes, then stating there was no reason to prosecute, but when he finds something that confirms that Hillary and Huma were obviously lying and does his job, he’s a tool of the Republicans. Just a little adjustment in perspective.

And what exactly would it be that confirms “Hillary and Huma were obviously lying,” given that no one knows what the newly discovered emails say, and that the FBI director has clearly stated they might be of no significance at all?

This is the problem with the right; their imaginations run wild in whatever direction they wish given any excuse to do so. This is how Trump is imagined to be an acceptable candidate when there’s almost nothing supporting such a conclusion, and many known facts arguing strongly against it. This is how Trump can get away with public claims that “Clinton may be the most corrupt candidate ever,” when decades of investigations have never managed to come up with any substantive evidence supporting any criminal charge or willful misconduct, let alone a conviction.

Donald Trump has done serious and lasting damage to the nation already, without even being elected. He has widened divisions, increased distrust, and slandered the very government that he thinks he should be the head of. He has called the election process itself into question, discredited our legal institutions, and bolstered the reputation of a foreign leader who shows all signs of being no friend of our nation or its allies. He’s also wrecking the political party that he claims to represent, while demonstrating no core conservative principles in the conduct of either his business or personal life.

Greg, are you disputing The New York Times?

“TENS of thousands of CLINTON emails were found on HUMA’S pooter

However, we do know one thing: according to the NYT, the number of Huma emails that made their way to Weiner’s PC was staggering:

The F.B.I. is investigating illicit text messages that Mr. Weiner, a former Democratic congressman from New York, sent to a 15-year-old girl in North Carolina. The bureau told Congress on Friday that it had uncovered new emails related to the Clinton case — one federal official said they numbered in the tens of thousands.

@Nostradamus, #20:

Can you read? The linked article does not say the letters in question number in the tens of thousands. The New York times does not say that. This is what they said:

A senior law enforcement official said that tens of thousands of emails belonging to Ms. Abedin were on Mr. Weiner’s laptop, which the F.B.I. had obtained as part of its investigation into Mr. Weiner.

The bureau told Congress on Friday that it had uncovered new emails related to the Clinton case — one federal official said they numbered in the tens of thousands.

Maybe you were all dropped on your heads shortly after birth. Or maybe it’s from overexposure to irrational media outlets. In any case, I’ve got no more time for this tonight.

@Greg:

And what exactly would it be that confirms “Hillary and Huma were obviously lying,” given that no one knows what the newly discovered emails say, and that the FBI director has clearly stated they might be of no significance at all?

I’m going to fall back on Hillary’s recorded perjury before Congress on this one, Greg. Hillary is lying and now, it appears, Huma has been proven to be lying. Otherwise, Comey would not have placed this noose around his own neck.

Thousands of Hillary/Huma emails were on Weiner’s notebook. Why? What clearance did he have to have confidential information on his computer (some of Huma’s emails attained by Judicial Watch are heavily redacted)?

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-10-29/fbi-found-tens-thousands-emails-belonging-huma-abedin-weiners-laptop

One thing is clear; Hillary disregards the rules of handling security except in regards to her OWN security. Rules and regulations covering the handling of national security is just a goddamn nuisance to be disregarded as needed, but Hillary’s secrets must be protected at all costs.

This is how Trump can get away with public claims that “Clinton may be the most corrupt candidate ever,”

She is. She absolutely is. So far, not one single accusation has turned out to be unfounded. Not a single one. There have been a cornucopia of accusations that were circumstantially sound, but leaked emails and investigations have substantiated every single one.

This is BAD. CNN and MSNBC were actually covering it this morning. This means the bad news just might leak out this time. Hillary had enough problems, now she’s had this Weiner thing blow up in her face.

According to Tweets coming from the reporters who travel with Hillary, Huma was NOT on the Hillary plane as of today.
Also, since, to get immunity, Huma swore she had turned over 100% of all devices and all gov’t related emails, this negates her immunity deal.
Now all she can do is sing or go to prison.

@Randy: It was a play on words; those two are inseparable.

@Greg: Good, just leave the conversation to rational people.

@Skookum: Oh h I was just referring to Wild Willy’s comments that HRC had more women than he had!

In Hillary’s 4 minute ”press conference,” she managed to let the cat out of the bag.
She wants ALL her supporters who possibly can to vote for her EARLY.
You know, before the really good stuff comes out.
Because, Wikileaks is still coming out with more every day.

Is Hillary whining? Is Hillary casting doubts on the sanctity of the election process? You know what Obama said about whining before the election is over, don’t you?

@DrJohn: Now don’t forget that, according to the liberals who voiced their opinions on Trump supporters who had had enough of liberals in their faces, threatening and shouting obscenities at them or Trump’s campaign manager was accused (falsely) of assault, the actions of anyone around the candidate ARE the actions of the candidate. Isn’t that right?

So, even if all this falls only upon Huma, according to the judgement of liberals, it is the exact same as if Hillary did it.

And remember, liberals… no whining.

@DrJohn: Not so. Weiner is cooperating and apparently has given permission to search the devices. Further, the NYPD has been investigating Weiner and there is “speculation” out there that the NYPD tipped off the FBI as to what they had found. Political abuse of the police comes with a price and it may well be that Hillary, Inc. is going to pay that price big time. Comey would never have taken this step unless there is something really big about to drop. Couldn’t happen to a more appropriate pair. The Clintons are done.

Disturber

@john: John, I would have bet you would jump to the defense even if you don’t know anything more than anyone else. There is also an ongoing large scale investigation of the Clinton Foundation. Want to take a small bet that Clinton and the entire Clinton, Inc. goes down? You can rip off some of the people some of the time and all of the people some of the time, but you can never make a liberal into an honest person any of the time.

Disturber

The Justice Department and the FBI are in discussions with lawyers for Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin to secure approval that would allow the FBI to conduct a full search of her newly discovered emails, sources familiar with the discussions told CNN.

Hope they don’t give her another full immunity deal after the way she lied during the 1st one.

@DrJohn, #38:

Abedin committed perjury. That much is clear.

Possibly Weiner copied emails from her computer to his own without her knowledge. Given his erratic behavior and their marital troubles, that possibility can’t be ruled out. She may not have known what he had—whatever that may be. It might be copies of letters already reviewed, or it might not.

@Greg:

Possibly Weiner copied emails from her computer to his own without her knowledge.

So, she gave the pedophile her password or had State Department business on a computer that needed no password? I don’t think that’s any good, either.

If it was just Huma’s emails on Weiner’s computer, why would Comey put his ass WAAAAAAY out there in the wind and tell Congress he was going to reopen the investigation? He has SEEN something incriminating; the only speculation is what it may be.

The latest is that there are 650,000 emails on the computer. Because it belonged to both Weiner and Huma, and Weiner is cooperating with the investigation, he can give permission to the FBI to read all the emails on the computer without there being a need for a warrant. It also appears that Huma set up an Outlook connection with Hillary’s server that automatically downloaded all of the email traffic on that server. If the latter is true, all of the deleted emails are there in the exact sequence and form that they existed on the server without redaction. “Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive.” Clinton is toast.

After digging up those that have the security clearance to read these they will claim duplicate and add to evidence (destroyed or lost) and reclose the investigation. Sucks but thats what I think will happen. Poor Huma might , just might I say, lose her security clearance and that means the Muslim brotherhood will need to get Hillary another handler. I bet Obama is interviewing this minute.

Hillary probably wanted to sit on Weiner until after the election.
