The timing of this FBI media release is very disturbing.

Yesterday, Trump makes the seemingly insane statement that ' Maybe we should just cancel the election and give him the presidency'. Then less than 24 hours later, Comey makes his statement about the Email investigation and Trump doesn't seem to be surprised at all...almost as if he KNEW this was coming.

I think he DID have prior Knowledge and this is the disturbing part. Did someone in the FBI give Trump central a heads up? Was it Comey himself?

Someone or ones need to lose their jobs or worse.

Your thoughts on this DUers.

But I tend to think that this thing isn't going to last long; we are pretty much emailed out and there really isn't much here

What if it's a gotcha? Comey releases a rather vague letter containing very little information. Immediately, Donald, the GOP and the media lose their minds over it - Donald proclaiming it's "bigger than watergate". The Clinton campaign is now calling for all of the information to be released. I just heard Mike Pence say the same thing.

So to please both campaigns, the FBI releases what amounts to be copies of emails that they've already reviewed. Copies that Abedin forwarded to her private email so she could print them at home. Nothing classified.

It sure would make the GOP eat crow and they wouldn't be able to criticize the FBI over doing what they asked.

The GOP needed to stop the Dems momentum. The GOP wants to maintain control of congress.
