The FBI is reopening its Clinton email probe

The FBI has determined that the facts of this case suggest otherwise. But hey, I'm sure you're a much better expert on what constitutes a crime than the FBI. :roll:

1) Comey was in on the fix.

2) He's either making a show to cover his ass, or they found something huge that can't be ignored.

Sure, he spent 15 minutes spelling out her crimes, said in similar circumstances others would be prosecuted and then recomended no charges.

Me thinks he cant handle the guilt anymore of selling out and is trying to redeem his once sterling reputation.

He's also trying to get a handle on the open insurection thats going on inside the FBI right now too

Agreed. He is in damage control mode now. He will only go so far in his initial quest to fall on his sword for Hillary.

From what I hear, Comey was facing what might be best termed an "uprising" from agents in his chain of command. Many career SAs and higher-people who had been with the agency for years if not decades were pissed at the Comey claim that no prosecutor would take the case (which also was BS).

My theory, is that that uprising was going to evolve into a truckload of leaked information that could end Comey's career, along with no telling who else.

Yep. I recall just a week ago arguing with libruls who were still resorting to: "But but...but but ..but...stammer..... the FBI Director does not agree with your conclusions." Now he's no longer Hillary's savior. :hitsfan::2funny:

I think this is a big part of why trump is the nominee. Many people are tired of having their nominee rip to shreds by the left wing media lies so they selected someone they thought would fight back and they have given him unconditional support.

I think you are onto something

There is also the fact that the republican establishment are out of step with republican voters and have lost so much respect that trump is not viewed as a step down anymore

That's not Trump's fault. He didn't write the laws. They would certainly come after him if he didn't follow the laws.

Assuming the FBI will take more than two weeks to conduct this reopened investigation, Hillary Clinton will probably be the president elect as I don't see this changing those Hillary supporters minds. That would be very interesting. A president elect under a criminal investigation or should I say possible criminal investigation.

I haven't the faintest idea how long this reopened investigation will take. Now what happens if the FBI recommends prosecution after the election, but before Clinton takes the oath of office on 20 January 2017? Can the trial proceed once Hillary is sworn in? What happens if Clinton is sworn in on 20 January and then the FBI recommends prosecution?

Would the house have to begin impeachment hearings? The trial to take place in the senate? Of course all these questions are probably meaningless as I am pretty sure Obama won't let Comey recommend prosecution, not on his watch considering the history of the Obama DOJ.

But this leads to even a more sticky mess, what if Comey and the FBI recommend prosecution after Hillary has taken office and she has appointed her own AG who then must decide one way or the other?

But have no worries, nothing will ever come of this. But one has to admit, this does open up a lot of very interesting questions.

You are assuming that voting bases are static and go to the polls and vote in the same numbers from election to election. The reality is that most elections are won or lost based on inspiration of one candidate's voters over the others. Diehard democrats are not going to change their minds based on Hillary's scandals, however they will likely be much less inspired to go to the polls in large numbers. Early voting and absentee ballots suggest that the Trump voting base is significantly more inspired then Hillary's base. I think the wench is toast.

Can you get back on track now, or are you just going to keep nipping at my heels? This is about Hillary. I'm sorry I insulted your precious Trump.

If you want to get back on track, why are you baiting me then? You know I'm no big fan of Trump.

I believe you are mixing up candidates. Here is why.

If one had any clue about business, one would know...

Anyone alone can build a $1 million company pretty much alone... BUT...

To take it to 5, 10, 50 or a Billion, you need to select and organize good people. Ideally great people.

Trump has done this. Hillary hasn't. Nor Obama.

Trump even said he would find the best people... the best negotiators, the best and toughest professionals in positions to put America First. We learned again... during Hillary's reign at State... she puts The Clinton Crime Factory first.

See... you got things a little backwards. Trump... lifelong professional builder, manager, doer. Hillary... lifelong socialist hack.

As for *****... one name. Bill Clinton. Rapist.

Most of us to not live our daily lives concerned about what the so-called "rest of the world" thinks. That is especially considering that by the "rest of the world", you actually mean "European libruls".

And the cover-up is usually worse than the crime. That was one lesson from Watergate.

Good point. I think that concept is going to cost Hillary the election.

We live in egalitarian times. People of any socio-political view from my generation (baby boomers) and especially earlier generations are accustomed to concepts like "rank having its privelages" that rank driven cover ups were part of life, that elders (super delegates) know best, and that quiet "special consideration" given to some people is an SOP.

Millenials, however, were not raised in this world. In contrast, they expect full social equality- not just racial . The internet allows them to see to what extent Hillary is corrupt. Even if the corruption was well, almost SOP two generations ago, millenials are far less likely to tolerate it.

Hillary needs the millenials. They are not going to vote for her. Hillary is going down. Lots of wailing and gnashing of teeth to occur at CNN.

I don't know what her problem is. It seems she wants to attack anyone who didn't support the same RINOs she did. :shrug:

The thing is the original e-mail investigation didn't bother Hillary's supporters one bit. What makes you think this one will? Plus a lot of people have voted early. Once one votes early regardless of what happens between then and election day, there is no recalling or redoing one's vote. I really don't see it changing much of anything. Here is the latest RCP averages.

RealClearPolitics - Election 2016 - General Election: Trump vs. Clinton vs. Johnson vs. Stein

Then there is the electoral college where Clinton has a huge advantage and according to almost all pundits, she has amassed over the needed 270. It is possible that you could have a reverse 2000 election on our hands, possible but unlikely.

Hillary has acquired absolutely nothing until actual votes are counted.

So you wouldn't take advantage of something that you knew or suspected was a mistake? So instead of getting out of paying taxes you would pay perhaps four hundred million in taxes? Honor is a great thing and all, but four hundred million is worth more.

How do you pardon someone who hasn't even been charged with a crime? Pardoned him from what? Maybe granted him immunity of some sort, but there has to be something to pardon a person from.

I can and has been done. President Ford pardoned Nixon for all Watergate related issues. Nixon had not been charged with anything.

The tax code is so complex and onerous it would be impossible to determine if there were a "mistake" in it. Tax preparers use software to process returns. Are they supposed to crosscheck the literally tens of thousands of lines of code to the actual printed book of annually revised code? Yeah no.
