Just as Clinton was beginning to get over confident, the FBI served notice that it ain't over till it is over. The FBI revealed that it found emails in Anthony Weiner's computer that maybe related to the investigation of Clinton email earlier. It seems weird that this comes out with just over one week left till the election. It is reported that the FBI found these emails a few weeks earlier. Supposedly they couldn't look into them because they only had warrant to look into Weiner's stuff, not those of his wife. So why didn't they ask for another warrant earlier so they had time to look over the emails before announcing their existence to the public? After they announced further investigation, they promptly got the authorization to look over those emails. The only problem is that this will not likely be finished before the election. So basically the FBI is putting itself in the election storm.
The Democrats are furious and they have a point. If this happened to Trump, I am sure he would called this part of the rigged election. I am not going to say that it is a conspiracy by Director James Comey to hurt Clinton. He has a difficult job since if he kept this till after the election, the GOP would be upset. But although he was appointed to the job by Obama, he was a registered Republican before office and he served as deputy attorney general in the Bush administration. So it is easy to say that he would may want to help the GOP. I doubt that is the case but he would have done better if he asked for the warrant right away after he found the email and may have been able to see if they revealed anything before announcing it to the world. I think after all these time of investigating Clinton, unless there are new evidence that shed new light, there should be no announcement from a supposedly neutral agency like the FBI.
By the way, why would Weiner dare to share a computer with his wife?

Well, Weiner is an idiot. It'll be interesting to see if anything come out of this. I think the FBI has an unenviable task, since they'll be ripped on by either side, depending on what it finds and doesn't find. If there's something that is damaging and the results don't come in until after the election, what happens?
ReplyDeleteJust another crazy twist in this election cycle. Is Clinton arrogant enough to run knowing there's damaging evidence against her? Does she think she's untouchable? I guess we will see. I agree that if the shoe were on the other foot, Trump would be going crazy and blaming the FBI and media. In a way, Clinton is doing something similar, though I do like that she told the FBI to lay out all the evidence out there.
I doubt what they will find is anything new. We all know Clinton's background and her ruthlessness. So I doubt it will change any minds. We are a little over a week away from the end of the election, though I doubt all the drama will end any time soon!

It is obvious that the result of the investigation will not be completed till well after the election. I agree that this won't change any minds. The only question is whether the people who were previously uncommitted will now vote one way or the other. With this crazy election, who knows?
ReplyDeleteI will be out of town from Thursday to Sunday attending a wedding. So I will probably not write another blog until election night.
