I'm planning on totally ignoring the FBI email investigation from here on out

[bravenak]

I just do not care. The media is treating her like she is running against a good, upstanding person, and treating him with kid gloves. Comey needs a new job come January, tired of his machinations.

[yallerdawg]

1. Obama could fire him right now.

Comey has crossed the line.

[democrattotheend]

4. That would be the stupidest thing he could possibly do

It would look like a Saturday Night Massacre redux.

[yallerdawg]

27. Did you read the letter?

It is so overtly designed to impact the election, for a second I thought Putin might have wrote it!

Comey isn't J Edgar Hoover. Fire him for cause - politicizing a politically neutral law enforcement position.

[George II]

45. Right. He should fire him on November 9 or thereabouts. He's manipulating as much as...

....Putin.

If anything, he should be canned for ineptitude.

[yallerdawg]

50. NBC reports:

The FBI language in the letter to Congress makes clear that new evidence has been discovered and thus will be reviewed — meaning FBI agents will read these emails. It is unusual for the FBI to tell Congress it is looking over newly discovered evidence in a criminal inquiry that was otherwise closed.

Asked to respond, a top Clinton campaign spokesperson tells NBC News, "No idea."

The news come less than two weeks before the general election with Clinton leading in the polls.

This is unprecedented. This is a rogue appointee.

Comey should have been warned. Now its time to be terminated.

[workinclasszero]

74. Agreed..that should not be done

But damn I'm pissed off at Comey for throwing Trump a lifeline!

Don't tell me that bastard had no idea what he was doing by this. When hillary gets in his ass better be hitting the pavement quick!

[Joe941]

6. Fire him ASAP!

[bravenak]

11. I'd wait 2 weeks and then boot him

[JoePhilly]

55. Comey is "interviewing" for a 7 figure deal at a RW think tank for after Hillary wins.

He knew he was out the minute she wins the election ... so he's setting himself up for his next gig.

[bravenak]

59. I bet he writes a book

[old guy]

81. This is most probably his plan.

When you have no place to go, do something outrageous and the right wing will throw you a life ring.

[uponit7771]

84. Yeap, don't want his back stabbing ass no where near her... fuck Comey... not a stand up guy

[bravenak]

86. Seriously. He is feeding the evil beast

[erpowers]

70. 10 Year Term

FBI directors get a 10 year term in office. Does a President have the right to fire them before their 10 year term is over?

[yallerdawg]

72. In a word...

YES!

[wncHillsupport]

2. Comey has gone beyond the pale.

Giving his personal opinions, which has never been done before after and FBI decision, for one thing. And isn't the Attorney General supposed to be his boss? Why does she let him get away with this partisan hunt? That is what I understand least of all.
Bas....rds.

[bravenak]

12. That press conference reminded me of Lebron taking his talents to South Bay

[geek tragedy]

3. then you'll need to stay off the Internet and not watch any television

because this shit is ALL anyone's going to be talking about until the election is over.

[bravenak]

8. Trump cannot stand anyone else getting too much attention

He will be on twitter acting stupid soon. He always does something

[geek tragedy]

19. sure, he'll say the FBI is investigating her because he told them to

he'll be able to hammer this for the remainder of the campaign.

I hate all Republicans.

Jesus. Even the ones like Comey who pretend to have some honor.

[bravenak]

23. I hate them too

And how can she defend against an email that she does not even know about? Sigh. Fuck this shit. Time for a new Trump accuser

[George II]

53. He's already talking about it at his rally right now.

And they're all gloating over this. Disgusting.

And of course MSNBC is trying to add interpret a reason for the length of time that Clinton took to get off her plane!

[stopbush]

5. The presidential election cake is baked. Hillary will win.

It would be different if the RW assholes could come up with something, anything besides emails as a bludgeon against Hillary, but they're lazy and can't be bothered.

For most of the public - ie: the 98% who don't watch cable news - the phrase "email scandal" has lost any meaning and import. People aren't watching and they're certainly not listening. Chicken Little has spoken too many times to believe the sky is falling. They've moved on from the bs. Life is too short.

[MyNameIsKhan]

7. Well even if she wins, trump gets a way to cause rucus and not accept results.

[stopbush]

52. The country will be amazed at how quickly Trump slinks off

into ignominy after Nov 8.

He will not be well thought of, and no more so than by his most-rabid supporters.

[NJCher]

89. he's going to open his own tv network

that's hardly "slinking off," and furthermore, if he does pull this off, he will have a 24/7 voice to analyze, examine, and pick apart everything she does.

This could be extremely damaging to her presidency.

On the other hand, if she has an overwhelming majority, like 90% of the vote, I don't think he'll have much of a market for his TV network.


Cher

[wordpix]

104. IF he has the $$$ and/or can get investors in Trump TV

His apologists might kick in b/c they love him so

[Moonwalk]

109. He's going to be a little busy with court cases for the first half of the year....

might not be so easy to run that network whiile fighting against fraud and child molestation cases. And any others that come about after the election.

[Thinkingabout]

9. Am curious about communications between members of the Trump campaign and Russian ties,

Right now I do not trust the hacked emails. I hope lots turn out and Hillary wins by a wide margin.

[bravenak]

15. I do not read stolen materials myself

I wish folks would chill on approving of people hacking others folks private communications

[Thinkingabout]

68. Especially when the russian hackers are known for rewriting information. I don't trust a thief.

[BSdetect]

10. msnbc going nuits by spreading a complete non-story POS

[bravenak]

20. Absolutely

[Maru Kitteh]

13. X 1000 Friend.

Comey wants to dance with Putin? Let him.

Start working on your resume, you partisan piece of shit.

[bravenak]

17. I knew when he did that press conference that he was a shit

[chillfactor]

16. same here...

I am so sick and tired of this whole email mess....I have plenty of other TV programs to watch besides the news....and my mute button works just fine if I am on a news channel.

[bravenak]

18. Yep. I'm moving on to netflix

[Dem2]

21. Wow it looks like I'm going to have to use the word email as a trash word

I removed it after the last time, but I guess I have to put it back on there again since people lose their f****** minds over this s***

[bravenak]

24. Good idea, thanks

[emulatorloo]

25. There is no FBI email investigation. Media being dumbshits and misinterpreting as usual

Will agree that Comey has spit out some innuendo, but this letter does not say what the idiot media thinks it says.

But yeah ignore this crap, I am right there with you.

[bravenak]

28. I know

I read it much differently, but after Comey's presser this summer, I'm over him.

[emulatorloo]

29. He cleared her under oath at House because IMHO he wouldn't risk perjury

hes not under oath now, so he's back to playing word bullshit games.

[bravenak]

31. It looked like a form letter to me, but he knows how these people are

[emulatorloo]

54. Hey bravenak! Good clarification on what letter is from Kurt Eichenwald

http://www.democraticunderground.com/12512551617

Godhumor posted:

-----
Kurt Eichenwald, a breaker of news on Trump, clarifies Comey letter

1. FBI not reopening the investigation.
2. Comey legally had 2 inform Congress, because he testified they had finished reviewing evidence,

When u discover information that requires you to amend ur testimony, you have to do so immediately, particularly as a government official...
https://twitter.com/kurteichenwald/status/792063957838069760

Kurt has zero reason to prop up Trump. Hell, his family was threatened by deplorables as he reported in Newsweek. But Comey did what he had to do. Asshole Republicans who received letter turned it into this and media is responding to it.

But this will calm down. Patience.

-------------------

That makes sense maybe this will help straighten out "Wolf" and his type.

[bravenak]

56. Now that makes sense

[tenaciousdem]

33. any suggestions on how to ignore this?

Im going to need all the help I can get in order to get through this.

[bravenak]

39. Put the word emails in your trash can

[emulatorloo]

40. Willpower, movies, GOTV, and maybe a couple cocktails

I may be wrong but not sure they'll be able to manufacture fake outrage for more than a day or two. Trump will no doubt do something CRAZY and they'll move on

[wordpix]

105. coming up in Dec. is his first rape case hearing, maybe that will

shut up his minions

[tenaciousdem]

30. In all seriousness

I'm going to puke. Trump will eat this shit up and make it sound as if hes some kind of divine interventionist!

[bravenak]

32. He already is

So excited I expected him to bust

[Vinca]

34. You're just one vote. It's everyone else we have to worry about.

At this late stage, this seems like the ultimate campaign dirty trick. If anyone can verify any of that truly horrendous Trump stuff, now is the time to let it loose.

[bravenak]

38. I expect more Trump shit by midnight

[Thrill]

35. Ignoring it won't keep the media from spreading it to voters

[bravenak]

36. It will keep me from helping spread it for them

[emulatorloo]

43. GOTV and we can answer any questions our voters have about this non-issue

[Red State Prisoner]

65. Thank you!

That's why I refuse to simply view it as something we can easily dismiss and not worry about. We can rant and rave all we want to about Comey, the media, and the buffoonery of Trump that's soon to follow. It doesn't change the fact that this beast has reared its ugly head once more. Do I think she's done anything criminal? Of course not. However, there are large swaths of the electorate who change their minds as frequently as you and I change underwear. This hurts, and the sad truth of it all is that we're really powerless to do anything about it. We can vote (if we haven't done so already), and that certainly helps, but DU and the seemingly shrinking group of intellectual minds in this country aren't enough. Everything is going to rest on how the Clinton campaign responds to this. It can't be ignored, unfortunately. There's going to need to be some damage control.

[stonecutter357]

37. K&R!

[brer cat]

41. I am sick and tired of it

and especially Comey. He does need a new job...asap.

[bravenak]

42. He really does

[BlueMTexpat]

46. I'm with you!

This is - and has always been - complete BS.

Anyone who does not yet "get" that would never have voted for Hillary anyway.

[elmac]

49. I'm with Bernie

when he said "The American people are sick and tired of hearing about your damn emails."

No laws were ever broken, nothing will come of this, its a dog and pony show put on by the FBI because they don't want to mess with Puttin.

[sheshe2]

57. F**K all this SHIT!

Everybody get out and vote and bring 10 or 20 friends with you!

[bravenak]

60. This wont stop nothing

They are grasping at straws but this is just pissing me off

[sheshe2]

73. It is all just a game to them and it is pathetic.

[bravenak]

77. They think president Trump will only hurt us

[still_one]

58. That is fine for us, but the campaign can't, and if you read into this, there is no

investigation being reopened, however, the MSM is reporting it as such, and that can be a disaster, which is why the campaign needs to jump on this

[bravenak]

62. One would think they didnt bother reading the letter

[mcar]

61. I'm with you, brave

What a crock this is.

[GhostofFDR]

63. Okay?

What does one have to do with the other?

Trump is horrible, and a disaster.

That doesn't excuse other bad behavior. It's actually pretty illuminating that it seems Hillary is unfortunately surrounded by too many morally flexible leeches, than the case of her being the driving force behind some rather questionable conduct.

Out of everything, it's nice to see Chelsea very much conducts herself with integrity and has a true sense of awareness in letting her moral compass drive her to raise attention and stopping others from usurping the Foundation for their own gain.

[bravenak]

64. Trump commits felonies is what

I judge sexual assault, fraud, tax avoidance and blatant discrimination of black tenants are far far worse than mishandling emails. They judge the multitude of things he does as triffles. I have no fucking clue what Chelsea OR the Foundation have to do with this.

[wordpix]

107. and don't forget sex trafficking if Jane Doe wins her rape case

MSM treating the Don's felonies like Hillary's emails is like saying FBI will ignore the elephant in the room b/c they hear a mouse in the basement.

[bravenak]

108. Yuup

[radical noodle]

66. Me too Brave!

I've turned it off. If there's nothing further about it, what's the use of them speculating about it? Comey seems to be trying to interfere with this election.

[mountain grammy]

69. Comey is a tool and a Republican.. nuff said.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

71. Isn't that investigation over already?

I'm not worried about her e-mails.

[betsuni]

75. I tried to, but ... just when I thought I was out, they pulled me back in.

[bravenak]

76. I feel you

https://m.

[Monk06]

78. That is a very good plan because the whole issue is one big air ball

[gordianot]

79. Recently Tim Kane made a vague statement that he communicates with Hillary by secret secure means.

I most sincerely hope that follows with Hillary's entire election campaign.

At this point it is the various hackers who have the burden of any guilt. Cyber warfare is here to stay lesson learned. The more self disciplined participant should win and it is not Donald Trump who asked for and got foreign State sponsored interference.

[bravenak]

80. I'm glad

[Utah_liberal]

82. And what's up with the young Turks?

I first learned of this story today from a giddy TYT youtube video. For a supposed progressive news network there's a couple of TYT correspondents who bash Hillary and are doing their best to elect Trump. There's some asshole called Jordan and the other guys name is Jimmy Dorne (I think that's his name I recall). Anyway what the hell TYT?

[bravenak]

83. I ended my relationship with them last summer over the Hillary hate

[ErikJ]

85. All about nothing in reality.

“What the FBI Director’s letter about the Clinton emails really says” by @imillhiser https://thinkprogress.org/the-fbi-directors-letter-about-the-clinton-emails-says-a-lot-less-than-the-media-wants-you-to-aa61e81e5a97#.l5h8d9tga

[bravenak]

87. This media meltdown is disturbing

All the red breaking news alerts. They did not seem to even read the letter

[wordpix]

106. Comey wants to investigate more, doesn't he have other things to do like follow IS

links to US and other terror groups including Malheur NWR nitwits

[sarae]

88. Me too.

Fuck this email BS again. No more news on tv until after the election (and maybe not even then) because I'm tired of getting yanked around.

11 more days...and I never want to hear or see Trump again. Ever.

[bravenak]

90. I'm with you, fuck them and fuck Trump

But I WILL be watching Joy Reid, that's my fav

[sarae]

91. I'll make an exception for Joy Reid, too.

She's whipsmart, she's not afraid of anyone, and she has an incredible talent for humiliating Republicans.

[bravenak]

92. It puts me in a good mood to see her face

I know then I will hear FACTS!

[retrowire]

93. sigh* nt

[blue-wave]

94. I'm Hoping

that people see through this as a last minute dirty trick by the repukes. They promised an October surprise, well here it is. But wait, they aren't even her emails and are from a separate device? I hope this backfires on them big time. People need to see this for what it is, a big stinking pile of dog shit.


Hillary's campaign needs a strong response and we need to defend her with all our strength.

[bravenak]

96. We see it. The press is already walking some shit back

[pansypoo53219]

100. RATINGSRATINGS RATINGS. it HAS to be a horse race & a secretariat is not RATINGS!

[bravenak]

101. Well, I turned it off, so....

[world wide wally]

102. I've been ignoring that bullshit for about 2 years now

[bravenak]

103. Smart move.

[SusanCalvin]

112. Spot on regarding the media coverage of Trump.

They're covering him like he's a normal person and candidate, and he's just NOT.

Not to mention they're covering him like he's an adult, and he's just NOT.
