Hillary Clinton Demands FBI Release Newly Discovered Anthony Weiner Emails

It sounds to me like Hillary CC'd classified info from her private server, where it should not have been, to Huma's personal E mail address where it had no business going.

But DoJ will blow it off. "These things happen".

"Nasty Womens Lives Matter!"

That doesn't make much sense though. If that were true, he would be under no obligation to report to congress. The last thing Comey wants is to reopen this investigation. If he is doing it, it is for a good reason.

I read that there are only 3 emails, and they're not from HRC. Pretty irresponsible of Comey to make a big deal out of this, right before an election. The way he presented it made it seem like a bigger deal than it seems to be.

Only 3? And they're not even from HRC? Boo.

I'm not 100% sure about her decision, but can see her thoughts here.

She wants everything out on the table, and if nothing much there (what I suspect), she moves on.

If nothing gets released, she then declares the matter closed and moves on.

But it could back-fire: She does not want this to go back-and-forth, and dominate the last 10 days of the election.

My gut says there's nothing of criminal consequence there, to begin with. WikiLeaks hasn't sunk her, and the FBI found nothing worthy of criminal prosecution with her other plethora of emails, so there's little likelihood of problems with the few she had with Huma.

So all-in-all, it's probably a reasonably good gambit on her part.

No the FBI found plenty to hang her on. It is pretty much fact that their lack of recommendation was a fix that came from the DOJ and Clinton and Obama.

Even current and former FBI called that decision for what it was.
a person either has to be completely blind or the worst hack yet not to see
That she did in fact broke the law.

Well, Hillary could END that speculation really quick like. Call a Press conference and reveal the content of those emails yourself. Of-course she may not remember or they may not be from her.

Easy solution. Hillary, GO ASK HUMA, YOUR CLOSEST ADVISER what was on her computer, then relay the contents of the emails to the American people. How ironic that Hillary. who set up this rogue server to begin with now wants full disclosure " because the American people demand it " :lamo

Can you believe this **** Cardinal ??

She doesn't have the emails. She stated in her statement today that she doesn't know what emails he is referring to, but she wants him to release "full and complete facts" about them, esp since we're 11 days from a big election. She has asked him to explain the issue(s) in full detail.

Word is that there are only 3 emails and they are not from HRC. But who knows? It was irresponsible of Comey to make this announcement like he'd found some big cache of emails somewhere, which is apparently not the case. He was probably being over-cautious, given the timing of it and the sensitivity of the investigation that had been done.

The story should never have "come to nothing" in the first place. It should have been treated from the start like any normal FBI/DOJ criminal investigation.

The servers and devices should have been seized and impounded as evidence, with the FBI having access to every email without granting the suspects unsupervised prior "review and deletion."

There should never have been any immunity agreements unless the "witnesses" were themselves facing legal problems due to clear evidence of their own criminality, and they had knowledge of greater evidence against the major co-conspirators in a crime.

There are all sorts of other issues with the original handling of the case, which were clearly dealt with in a political rather than a legal way.

Then this "re-opening" would never have been necessary. :coffeepap:

Is this the way it was done when Colin Powell and Condaleeza Rice were investigated for conducting state business via personal emails? Oh, wait....the Democrats didn't demand a multi-million dollar investigation of those Secretaries of State.

What could we do with millions of dollars instead of investigate cabinet officials' use of personal emails? We could give the millions to a Veterans' hospital. Or contribute the money toward an infrastructure project and create some jobs. Pay off a debt.

You first Hillary. You know whats in those Emails, so why not call a Press conference tomorrow and fill everybody in ??? And I thought Huma Abedin was under subpoena ???

Why wouldn't Huma Abedin offer up willingly all these pertinent Emails to the FBI when they were doing their initial investigation ?? I remember telling my kids that lies breed more lies and eventually it gets near impossible to keep up with everything.

Did Hillary as a child miss this very important life lesson ?

My primary interest in this latest fiasco is to find out how the Russians pulled this stunt off. I mean, that's pretty big news if they co-opted the director of the FBI.

Being serious, though, it was irresponsible of Comey not to give a press conference. Now there's going to be an entire weekend in which the country goes insane with speculation.

Nope, it is irresponsible to try cases in the press. HRC can get the prosecution's evidence just like most folks do - during the discovery process before trial. It sucks for HRC not to be treated as the very special person, which she wishes to be, but sometimes that is the difference between justice and "just us". ;)

Pardon me? :shock:

We are not discussing what should or should not have been done back then.

Although if you were looking for me to disagree, then you would be wrong!

I am not a Republican. I am not a Democrat. I am not arguing this as a partisan of either party. It does not matter who you are or what party you belong to...the law should be applied equally to everyone! :twocents:

So you can take your straw man and...

I suspect the emails have yet to be fully examined & classified.

When HRC private server emails were found on the laptop, they needed to be investigated as matter of course. Comey was in a jam because if he didn't make the announcement until after the election, he would face the wrath of the GOP for withholding it - particularly if anything damaging was found. So he played it safe, made the generic announcement, and in time the investigation will be complete. I believe he is likely being transparent here.

These emails may very well be benign, which is what I suspect; but they still must be investigated.

From what's trickling out there are about 1000+, and while some are duplicates, some are also classified.


On Anthony Weiner's phone. Anthony. ****ing. Weiner.

I'm trying hard to think of a more fitting wrap up to this campaign than a scandal involving both lawbreaking and a pervert, and coming up blank.

When the FBI wrote this letter to Chaffetz and Cummings back in August he seemed pretty sure that Clinton did not break the law.....

Ah, so whether Comey should keep the nation informed is falling along partisan lines then. So be it.

Since that's where we are, then there's not much else to do but see what happens next.

I would think that is "3 so far." They ran across emails between others, in their Weiner investigation, is what I gathered from reading info about it on CNN. The Weiner investigation involves thousands of emails.

But who knows? Comey should have been more forthcoming, considering the sensitive timing.

Pointing out that your post was partisan, and expecting Congress to do something at the bidding of the Republicans, for political reasons.

Also pointing out that the Democrats didn't waste precious time and money trying to prosecute Republican Secretaries of State for doing essentially the same thing as HRC. This "investigation" is a continuation of the personal persecution of the Clintons by the Republicans. They have spent many millions of taxpayer dollars pursuing partisan investigations of the Clintons, none of which has resulted in any criminal finding by anyone...including the Republican heads of the investigations. That's not because they liked the Clintons. It was because there was no illegal activity.

After this investigation, there will be another. And another. Spending millions upon millions of taxpayer dollars, and wasting precious Congressional time that should be spent on the important issues facing our country.

And the Republicans wonder why they can't win Presidential elections, any more. A bunch of old, white, millionaires using their position to go after other politicians for political reasons, while griping about spending a tiny fraction of the budget on assistance for poor people or on infrastructure, or for creating jobs, or to beef up veterans' health care.

If indeed there are only three - and non-HRC at that, then yeah, this might be politically motivated then.

I assume that means it was only three that prompted the Comey letter to Congress, but that they might find more (the Weiner emails number in the thousands).

My problem with his letter to Congress is that it's vague, and was sent at such a sensitive time. He should have been clearer.

I notice that the Dems aren't saying "the election's rigged! Comey's on the take! Comey's being blackmailed!" like the Republicans have been saying before now.

Perhaps.

The news I watched claimed they were on Weiner's laptop.

But regardless, yeah Hillary's classified emails end-up on a perv's confiscated electronic device! Between this, Russian Hacks, WikiLeaks, and Trump being Trump, this is the most surreal Presidential election I've ever witnessed!

If someone wrote a novel like this, it would be considered unbelievable fiction!

Oh, I almost forgot the GOP icons voting for HRC! Surrealistic! :lamo

The only way it gets better is a slap fight between Joe Biden and Donald Trump in which both fail.

Well, it is possible Comey is trying to be transparent.

Sooner or later this would come out, and if he waited until after the election he would take heat for being partisan. He likely feels he had no choice.
