Consider the irony

According to NBC, they found these alleged emails off Anthony Weiner's laptop while investigating him for illicit texts to a minor.

Yet no one, including NBC, even knew Weiner was being investigated by the FBI.

Know why?

BECAUSE THE FBI'S STANDARD PROCEDURE IS TO NOT DISCLOSE OR DISCUSS INVESTIGATIONS UNLESS THEY UNCOVER EVIDENCE OF A CRIME!

That is, unless your name is Hillary Clinton of course.

This shit stain Comly needs to be investigated and at the least fired for gross incompetence.

FBI confiscated Huma's cell phone for just this.

Why did they need to confiscate Huma's cell phone in the first place if they are investigating Anthony's alleged inappropriate texting relationship with some female?

Everyone knows Huma and Hillary are long time BFF's. I'm guessing some right wing agents knew if they could get that phone they'd find emails from Hillary.

Beaking - New Clinton Emails Came from Anthony Weiner's Cell Phone

WASHINGTON — Federal law enforcement officials said Friday that the new emails uncovered in the closed investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server were discovered after the F.B.I. seized electronic devices belonging to Huma Abedin, a top aide to Mrs. Clinton, and her husband, Anthony Weiner.

The F.B.I. is investigating illicit text messages that Mr. Weiner sent to a 15-year-old girl in North Carolina. The bureau told Congress on Friday that it had uncovered new emails related to the Clinton case — one federal official said they numbered in the thousands — potentially reigniting an issue that has weighed on the presidential campaign and offering a lifeline to Donald J. Trump less than two weeks before the election.

In a letter to Congress, the F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, said that emails had surfaced in an unrelated case, and that they “appear to be pertinent to the investigation.”

Latest Clinton Scandal

So the latest Clinton "scandal", if you have not heard, is from an email released by Wikileaks.

In a nutshell, it's an email from a consultant close to Bill Clinton who, while trying to make a case for all that he's done, explains that he has secured millions in donations for the Clinton Foundation. The "scandal" part is that he also says he was able to secure Bill some paid speaking engagements for these same people.

Seriously, WHERE THE FUCK IS THE SCANDAL HERE??????

Even MSNBC is reporting this as helping the narrative that Hillary is "untrustworthy". WTF???????

Bill Clinton, like many other ex presidents, runs a charity foundation. Bill Clinton, like many other ex-presidents, also gives paid speeches. What the fuck am I missing here??????? What was "unethical", or illegal, or immoral about this story?????

Meanwhile, Donald Trump's "charity" paid thousands of dollars to a known criminal con man to make a bullshit video hit piece against Hillary Clinton, something not only dirty but illegal for his "charity" to do, and that story has gotten ZERO media coverage.

I seriously can't take this shit anymore.

You know what the best part of all this is?

It's that Trump is about to be thrown under the bus not just by most Americans, but by his own supporters as well

You watch.

If there's one thing I know, it's right wingers. These guys will NEVER EVER consider that their actual beliefs could ever be rejected by most Americans. For decades, I've heard right wing media blame the combination of the "liberal media" and a Republican candidate who was too wimpy, too liberal, too establishment, and so on. As cult-like ideological nuts, they have to tell themselves this to avoid the harsh reality and continue to live in their bubble, always ready for the "next fight".

And this is why even now, when they finally got the racist, sexist, xenophobic, nativist, flag-humping strongman of their dreams, when he loses they will be just as quick to take him off the pedestal they've had him on these last 18 months and throw him into their bin of false prophets.

I'd bet soon enough, maybe even by tomorrow, you'll start to see a few articles from the alt right blaming Trump for screwing this up. And it will grow. By the day after the election they will have pinned their loss almost ENTIRELY on Trump.

Sure, Trump may hold onto some hard core supporters for a while, but like Palin, he will eventually be not just forgotten, but despised by nearly all Americans. Ad he should be.

Trump hires Mike Roman, his intentions are now clear

He wants to incite violence, a race war.

"Donald Trump’s “election protection” effort will be run by Mike Roman, a Republican operative best known for promoting a video of apparent voter intimidation by the New Black Panthers outside a polling place in 2008.

Roman is to oversee poll-watching efforts as Trump undertakes an unprecedented effort by a major party nominee by calling into question the legitimacy of the popular vote weeks before election day."

Prediction thread - what stunt will Trump pull tomorrow?

I'm betting Trump pulls (or orchestrates) a stunt tomorrow night out of frustration/desperation either before or during the debate.

It could be anything, but I'll go with Pat Smith, the mother one the people killed in Benghazi who trump invited to the debate, screams out something like "you killed my son!" when Benghazi is mentioned.

Thoughts?

Trump's Response to firebombing of GOP office

Was to tweet out almost immediately that this is the work of "animals representing Hillary Clinton and democrats in NC", which could likely incite a violent response from his supporters.

Regardless of who did this, and I'd bet a month's pay its Trump's own people or supporters, Trump's knee jerk response once again shows how reckless and dangerous this man would be as a leader.

Donald J. Trump? @realDonaldTrump

Animals representing Hillary Clinton and Dems in North Carolina just firebombed our office in Orange County because we are winning @NCGOP

One last thought - why would supporters of the campaign smoking the other in the polls be so outraged they would feel compelled to lash out like this? No, sorry, this reeks of furiois desperation by furiously desperate people.

Trump said he will provide "proof" these women are lying....soon.

I'm guessing the same day he's elected president.
