Yes, if this was so important to let the public know, then update us. Unless of course is simply a way to smear Clinton with rumor and innuendo.( Which it appears to very transparently be).

I'm almost envious at how easy it is for their side to score political points. They know how stupid their base is, and how gullible. How primed they are to hear and believe ANYTHING they tell them.

So it makes no difference if the Democrats say there is nothing to see here. Or the Justice Department, or even if the FBI officially declared that there was nothing new to see. Because those stories would all be lies, and covering up the REAL story, as Trump will explain to them (of Hillary's traitorous actions).

"Get your lilly white ass in here pronto on Monday and spill it, asshole. In January, you'll be answering to us, whether or not you still have your job."

That's my interpretation of the letter.

Good for them!

FBI is under so much pressure that they must have got judges order by now and must he going though every email as well speak. They must respond to American public very very soon, otherwise this will prove FBI (managed by Comey) is partial.

clearly it must be harmless, so why not clear the air. Too bad she doesn't have a backup, Huma could release the emails herself!

Oct. 23. Porn star Jessica Drake claims Donald Trump offered her $10G, use of his private jet for sex

Donald Trump’s offer of $10,000 and the use of his private jet couldn’t turn a porn star into a prostitute.

Jessica Drake — whose credits include “Sex for Sale” and “Think Pink” — claims she rejected the billionaire’s crude come-ons during a 2006 golf tournament in Lake Tahoe, Calif.

“This is not acceptable behavior for anyone — much less a presidential candidate,” the adult film star said ........


Oct. 25. Donald Trump hosted wild parties with sex, cocaine and underage models: report

..... Trump allowed the attendees to do whatever drugs they wanted, the photographer said. As guests partied hard on coke and top-shelf liquor, the mogul would stroll from room to room and hook up with girls.

“He'd wander off with a couple girls. I saw him. He was getting laid like crazy," the photographer said. "Trump was at the heart of it. He loved the attention and in private, he was a total f---ing beast.” .....

Ninni Laaksonen, a former Miss Finland in the Miss Universe competition that Trump once owned, alleged in an interview with the Finnish newspaper Ilta-Sanomat that Trump groped her before an appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman in 2006.

“Before the show we were photographed outside the building,” Laaksonen said, according to a translation provided by The Telegraph. “Trump stood right next to me and suddenly he squeezed my butt. He really grabbed my butt.

“I don’t think anybody saw it but I flinched and thought: ‘What is happening?’”

Laaksonen said that she had been told at other events that year that Trump found her attractive because she reminded him of his wife, Melania, whom he had married the year before.

“Somebody told me there that Trump liked me because I looked like Melania when she was younger,” Laaksonen said. “It left me disgusted.”

AFAIK, the minority party in the Senate can't issue a subpoena, so Comey can just blow off their request.

to sign on to this letter?

Dem. Senators are an easy shot to ask, but Republican Senators should be put on the spot and required to answer on this as well, especially those running for re-election.

This would not be the first time that the FBI has gone partisan. Look at all the questionable actions the FBI took under Hoover and the McCarthy hearings. And that's only one example. Comey should be fired on the spot and replaced by someone who has better things to do with their time besides trying to scare the American public with Halloween stories. I suggest Stephen King as Comey's replacement.

To do such a thing, then on Friday to hit the weekend news cycle is a premeditated hit job. Comey had better enjoy his last couple of months in that job. Then of course, he is likely auditioning for a FoxNews spot. This one REALLY stinks. The Trump campaign had better be ready for the shitstorm that will probably be unleashed on them this week.
