I love that Clinton herself made a statement on this

Expressed confidence and composure and leadership. I think that by the end of next week the dust will have settled on this but she should be pissed. However, I ultimately agree that Comes was covering his ass. If this came out after the election the whole "rigged" thing would come up. The timing of this is bad and I do think there will be some impact but I still think that overall people have made up their mind about Hillary's damn emails.

is that they were not withheld, did not come from hillary, the fbi has had them for a while, and no one except for them even knows what was on them.

the fbi should be forced to make the contents of the emails public before the election, and if they refuse to do so then people should be of the belief that there is nothing damning on them. either show us what you've got or shut up about it.

Comey should resign. He made his statement vague on purpose. He either should have said nothing or stated far more facts about the case, including that the emails were not from Clinton. He knew what he was doing. This is a direct attempt to influence the election.

I thought she did a good job considering the unfair position she is in of having to defend herself against an investigation without knowing what the investigation is for.
