FBI reopens investigation into Clinton email use

The FBI has reopened its investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private server while secretary of state after discovering new emails, in a stunning turn of events just days before the presidential election. 

FBI Director James Comey wrote in a letter to top members of Congress Friday that the bureau has “learned of the existence of emails that appear to be pertinent to the investigation.”

Comey did not detail those emails, saying only that they surfaced “in connection with an unrelated case.”

He told lawmakers the investigative team briefed him on the information a day earlier, “and I agreed that the FBI should take appropriate investigative steps designed to allow investigators to review these emails to determine whether they contain classified information, as well as to assess their importance to our investigation.”

He said the FBI could not yet assess whether the new material is significant and he could not predict how long it will take to complete “this additional work.” 

The move comes after Comey and the Justice Department decided in July not to pursue charges over Clinton's email practices, saying at the time that the investigation was finished. 

Comey has since come under criticism from Donald Trump, lawmakers and others who claim the investigation downplayed the mishandling of classified information during Clinton's tenure. 

Trump, speaking to cheering supporters Friday afternoon in Manchester, N.H., praised the FBI for having the “courage” to “right the horrible mistake that they made” – saying he hopes that is “corrected.”

“Hillary Clinton’s corruption is on a scale we have never seen before,” Trump said. “We must not let her take her criminal scheme into the Oval Office.”

In a nod to the significance of the FBI’s announcement, Trump quipped: “The rest of my speech is going to be so boring.” 

Other GOP lawmakers also weighed in. 

“The FBI’s decision to reopen its investigation into Secretary Clinton reinforces what the House Judiciary Committee has been saying for months: the more we learn about Secretary Clinton’s use of a private email server, the clearer it becomes that she and her associates committed wrongdoing and jeopardized national security," House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., said in a statement. 

“Now that the FBI has reopened the matter, it must conduct the investigation with impartiality and thoroughness. The American people deserve no less and no one should be above the law.”

This ought to be real interesting.   

Time for the Clinton betters to face the music... Or in this case the emails... Maybe there is still some JUSTICE in the world. I'll believe it when I see it but this could be the start of it.

It's a shame she's allowed to walk the streets.

How's the investigation going?

darkhorse, as an unapologetic supporter of HRC, and a non-stop ridiculer of those who support Trump, how do you feel about todays FBI news?

As a supporter of the truth and facts,something that totally eludes republicans for some reason, it's about time the FBI is put in their place.

Hugh, how do you feel about trumps alleged rape of a 13 yo?

Darkhorse, post #8 was an excessively dimwitted attempt at deflection, in which you claim you won't condemn when there is doubt.

You sound like you're on the payroll of HRC, you know damn well those emails are 100% are true.  The fact you could be so nonchalant about it shows your true character.

she is a disgusting individual, there is no doubt about it...but sadly I think people are too stupid to give a sh*t in terms of the election...

Not too good for HIllary right now...

Esp.if the new emails lead to her downfall ,,after all it was her husband,, Bill... who officiated over a ceremony that married Anthony Weiner and Huma Abedin ..

The new emails were discovered during the FBI's probe into Weiner's alleged sexting with an underage girl and their interactions, including rape fantasies and dressing her in school girl outfits. He knew her age, too.

Paul Ryan,said Clinton should not get classified briefings until the investigation was over.....Ryan finally say's something I can get behind..She can't be trusted ,,Hillary has proven that she is too irresponsible ..

Hillary Clinton for Prison 2016 

One sided nonsense like this is pathetic...of course everyones favorite cut and paste genius doesnt remember to remove the "CLICK HERE" part of his cut and paste masterpiece.

What has you so upset, Wally?

I believe you asked me about wikileaks emails and I kindly gave you my thoughts.And it appears because they didn't agree with your thoughts you insult me by saying it was a dimwitted attempt at deflection.  So Hugh, aside from all your spin about me you still didn't give your opinion about trumps alleged rape of a 13 yo.And it appears that dj's  assessment was correct.

Over the years, investigations had had little impact on Clinton's race to the presidency. No surprise if she is eventually proven innocent again.  She leads by wide margins in all major national polls just days before the election. 

If Jim Comey reopens the investigation 11 days prior to the election then you have to think he has something that's serious. 

Reopening the investigation now ...seems really odd to me...considering that the FBI seized Abedin/Weiner's electronic devices and other records in late September..over a month ago...Holy Cow !..They have had the devices for over 36 days..How much time do the agents need to come up with solid facts?

Comey told Congress "we don’t know the significance of this newly discovered collection of emails"...FBI Director James Comey is not obligated to tell Congress about ongoing investigations...Maybe it was Comey's lawyers who advise him to tell Congress?

J. Edgar Hover must be rolling over in his thousand pound lead-lined coffin right about now..he would have known what was in those devices before the subpoena was even issued....36 days and they "don't know the significance"......lmao.

Hillary's statement after hearing about the renewed FBI investigation..

I urge all voters to rush to the polls and vote for me ASAP.
