Now They Tell Us. The FBI Says Latest Clinton Email Controversy Much Ado About Nothing.


Hillary Clinton is off the hook, again. The FBI, whose director sprang a late election surprise by revealing a further investigation into Clinton emails, now has given the "all clear" to the Democratic nominee.

From The New York Times: "James B. Comey, the F.B.I. director, said in a letter to members of Congress that “based on our review, we have not changed our conclusions that we expressed in July with respect to Secretary Clinton.'”

Let the conspiracy theories continue, apace.

UPDATE:

The FBI announcement threw the Trump camp into an apoplectic tizzy.  Trump's campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, turned on FBI director Comey claiming he had "mishandled the investigation" from the outset.

Moments before the FBI announcement, Trump running mate Mike Pence was heaping praise on the FBI:
I'm confident that they'll handle the investigation in a timely and professional manner."

  1. The FBI Director should be fired. He deliberately meddled in the election.

  2. Too late to effect current events.
    The seed has been planted which was the likely reason for its exposure.
    The election is one of sound bites , flash cards and short memories.

  3. Well this has been a well run project. The press just has to keep talking about the issue to fertilize those seeds of doubt. Subjected to a conflation of the possible State Department and hacked Democratic Party emails under a "Wikileaks" banner, by this time consumers of alt right drivel don't even know the difference and won't be able evaluate the significance of anything (as if it ever mattered).



    Well all I know is ...

  5. Repetitive tripe, Anon. If you have something new to add, do it. If you have an insatiable need to harp on and on, that's not welcome here.

  7. 1st we hate the FBI, then we like the FBI, then we h......

    "That alliance ends and Oceania, allied with Eurasia, fights Eastasia, a change which occurred during Hate Week, dedicated to creating patriotic fervour for the Party's perpetual war. The public are blind to the change;

    in mid-sentence an orator changes the name of the enemy from "Eurasia" to "Eastasia" without pause.

    When the public are enraged at noticing that the wrong flags and posters are displayed, they tear them down—thus the origin of the idiom "We've always been at war with Eastasia"; later the Party claims to have captured Africa."

    Ironically, the next sentence in the Wiki entry is off-topic to this post but oh so true about the future under either candidate:
    "... the purpose of the unwinnable, perpetual war is to consume human labour and commodities, so the economy of a superstate cannot support economic equality (a high standard of life) for every citizen."

  9. I apologize to everyone for the potty-mouthed troll. He seems to have a touch of oral incontinence.
