(4,423 posts)put it all out in public so I don't think the FBI has a choice in that now.

(5,697 posts)that for the next week and a half, we are still staring down the barrel of a Trump presidency. It doesn't matter if Hillary is ahead by double digits in Oklahoma, we CANNOT get the least bit complacent.
I got a friend to vote for the first time in his life, for Hillary. Hopefully that's just one of many success stories all over the country.

(4,642 posts)I know its nothing but am pissed and always will be pissed at the FBI for trying to knock HRC down. They are just another branch of the terrorist group called the GOP.

(26,045 posts)plus, even if FBI does "clarify," it won't be until Monday at the earliest -- thus giving the story time to become the entrenched narrative.

(12,221 posts)Do these news networks ever wait on something to see if there is any truth behind it? In my eyes, they are all becoming digital tabloidswithout the tongue in cheek humor.

(9,115 posts)I saw the main page for a flash, after a couple mins loading. As soon as I scrolled down, the page vanished and went into a blank loading.
I'll check back later. I have it bookmarked. Thanks.

This is a story in which there is no there there. We know this because we''re paying attention. However, voters who are just casually listening to the news are hearing:
"Devastating October surprise"
"Bombshell"
"Smoking gun"
"Predatory sexting"
"Trump surging"

(14,565 posts)I left to play golf at 2:45, in the early stages.
Some of these updates are encouraging in limiting the damage, although the word "reopened" will be attached and linger whether it was warranted or not. It looks like CNN sensationalized in the early minutes and it stuck.
I hit my longest drive in months on the 5th hole. I was taking out my anger on the golf ball.

and yet, I had a fool try to insist to me that msnbc is a liberal mouthpiece
tjl148
(185 posts)This could very well be nothing. But how do we know? Does anyone know what the FBI found? If they do, I sure would like to hear about it.
Another question - Wouldn't the AG know what the FBI found and if it was nothing let that be known? Why is Lynch quiet on this? This has me more worried then most of you are apparently.

(865 posts)I hope this comes out on broad scale. It will come out, actually. Some people won't get it; others won't admit it. But at least those with sense and decency will know the truth.
