How many minds were changed when he reopened this?

The emails are still true, changing ones mind back would be foolish,

I think you are missing something significant. That is people were nervous of voting for her because she may be indicted for the emails, not because of the behaviour. Electing a President and then having them go to jail a few months later is a dangerous thing to risk. There is more comfort now that she can see out her 4/8 years.

And this all happened probably not because it's rigged, but because that's how bureaucracy works. If they found her guilty of anything it would be admitting that they were wrong before, and maybe were wrong about other things; who knows? It would undermine their credibility and people would almost certainly lose their jobs. This is basic covering their own ass. Well this definitely damaged Hillary regardless of what they found. Her numbers dropped a bit... fivethirtyeight.com dropped her chance of winning from like 78% to 63%. I don't know how they calculate that chance because I also looked at poll numbers and estimated number of electoral votes and it was hella close......Like, 51% to 49% basically....Not this 63% to 57%.

They did but that wasn't received well here.

The sky is blue. Water is wet. Politicians are above the law.

What part? That they were duplicates? It's out there.
If I know it you can find it too. I don't have super powers. Just cable and high speed internet.

Those FBI guys are amazing. 9 days and 650k emails. 72222 a day. 3,009 an hour. 50 EVERY minute.

Give those boys a raise.

*that's working 24/7 too!*

They have software that sorts the emails

All of the duplicate emails they already had were removed immediately...

Then the software further broke it down by tags, senders/recipients, and subject matter. That way the only emails requiring human eyes were far less than that total number

a reply to: Tempter

Since they had these from before they used filters to find duplicates. It's doable though i couldn't say how.

Big Surprise. Now enough of the f'ing emails.

I'd rather concentrate on what these 2 Bozo's plans are for OUR Future.

a reply to: marg6043

Oh well that's your right.

She will still be your president whether you claim it or not.
Unless you forfeit your citizenship.

The emails pertain to the future of our Republic. Hillary has a lot of conflicts of interests she'll be dealing with as POTUS.

Thank you.

*Wouldn't being stored on a private email server be illegally placed somewhere instead of its "proper" place of custody?*

Subsection (f) was part of the original (1950). It does not define "proper place", but email is sort of in a grey area. What is its proper place of custody? In 1950 it would be a (locked?) file cabinet or a safe. An email?

Pretty crappy law, actually. Probably needs updating. But there are more important matters. Right?

Hopefully she croaks early for the sake of our country. Like immediately.

You missed the joke. There were a stack of resignations on Comey's desk between July and the reopening on Oct 28. Those are going to continue over this because many agents are not going to play political favorites when it comes to law enforcement.

The snark was in the hints to make it apparent that the FBI has failed under Comey and Lynch's DOJ.

It is pretty irrelevant at this point. Tuesday gonna happen no matter what.

That's been true for quite some time now.

Oh you got that right.
My hero, the louse, my hero, the liar..

Yep, just like libs praised Comey in July when Clinton was cleared, then threw Comey under the bus last week when he reopened the case.

You think the deplorables will allow her to be inaugurated? Presidency in exile isn't going to help the national debt.

a reply to: Phage

650K were the total number of emails on the device. Most were Anthony Weiners. The number relevant to their investigation was considerably less than that.

But Six hundred and fifty thousand emails just sounds so incriminating. Like "indictment imminent" it sells.

It has. Those of us who view her as criminal were hoping for a miracle.

I'm not sure it's her or people wanting to see someone they view as corrupt finally take it on the chin.

Remember when he also said he wouldn't be making any more comments or releasing any finding prior to the election?
