Bonn1997 wrote:Senate minority leader warns that Comey may have broken federal law.

Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid set of a firestorm Sunday after he said that FBI Director James Comey "may have broken" a federal law when he disclosed on Friday that his office was pursuing potential new evidence related to Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server less than two weeks before the presidential election.

The Senate minority leader from Nevada wrote in a letter that Comey may have violated the Hatch Act, which bars government officials from using their position to influence an election.

"I am writing to inform you that my office has determined that these actions may violate the Hatch Act, which bars FBI officials from using their official authority to influence an election," Reid wrote. "Through your partisan actions, you may have broken the law."

A former FBI official said Sunday that Bill and Hillary Clinton are part of a "crime family" and argued top officials hindered the investigation into Hillary Clinton's private email server while she was secretary of State.

During a radio interview with John Catsimatidis, former assistant FBI director James Kallstrom heaped praise on Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump before taking aim at the Clintons.

"The Clintons, that's a crime family, basically," Kallstrom said. "It's like organized crime. I mean the Clinton Foundation is a cesspool."

Kallstrom, best known for leading the investigation into the explosion of TWA flight 800 in the late '90s, said that Hillary Clinton, the Democratic presidential nominee, was a "pathological liar."

He also blasted Attorney General Loretta Lynch, claiming that she impeded the investigation into Clinton's private server.

"The problem here is this investigation was never a real investigation," he said. "That's the problem. They never had a grand jury empanelled, and the reason they never had a grand jury empanelled, I'm sure, is Loretta Lynch would not go along with that."

"God forbid we put someone like that in the White House," he added of Clinton.

Kallstrom also said that FBI Director James Comey and the rest of the FBI's leadership were responsible for holding back the investigation, not the rest of the bureau.

"The agents are furious with what's going on, I know that for a fact," he said.

Exaggerate much!! Crime family. The bull**** is getting ridiculous. The Clinton foundation has done 100 times more good for the people of the world than Trumps con of a foundation. The guy literally used foundation funds to pay for a portrait of himself. There has been no allegation that Hillary sold secrets or that any America secrets were revealed. The only allegation is she used her home server to do work. That is the BIG conspiracy. Oh my god, she must be the worst criminal in America. While Trump has yet to reveal his taxes, which you are silly if you don't think there is a real good reason for why he is hiding that information. The guy holds hate rallies and talks about grabbing woman (total strangers) by the p@@@@y and is generally a spoiled self-centered playboy that is about as concerned for you as you would be for a ****roach on the street. You people don't realize, the Roman Empire thought it would last forever too but if you put an out of control leader in place then guess what---things get out of control. Trump is dangerous on a level his supporters do not even yet fathom.

So, you think the former director of the FBI is lying about the Clintons? Watch what he has to say.

Hillarys top strategist Creamer, has resigned due to illegal activities regarding her campaign. Another one was fired.
Her top aid, Huma Abadeen is married to a serial cheater and what looks to be a pedophile. He/she may have just destroyed Clintons campaign.
Her husband is a serial rapist.
The FBI and now Justice Department are investigating her.

Oh, the Clinton Foundation appears to also be a slush fund being used to hide money. It does some good, but not enough to keep them out of prison.

There are so many links and so much information out there, just have a peruse. And then there are all the books on Amazon.
This is a good one: https://www.amazon.com/Partners-Crime-Clintons-Monetize-Personal/dp/1944229337/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1477903540&sr=1-1&keywords=clinton+foundation

I collect information, if there are people like prosecutors, governors, FBI directors, etc. saying the Clinton(s) are breaking the law, taking part in crime, etc. I look into what they are saying as they too have collected information. Don't go to mainstream as your only source.

You (and others - e.g. Welpee) really don't understand the email scandal. The lies. The deletions of emails AFTER the State Department asked for them? I hear responses like "Well, she isn't the first official to do that, etc." And they keep missing the "AFTER" part. Yeah, she is the first person running for president that has deleted important emails AFTER the STATE DEPARTMENT asked for them. But wait, that isn't enough, she went and had the servers professionally cleaned using Bleach Bit software. And she probably just did that so the government could get fair value on a used sale. And of course there were more emails than Clinton said, which just surfaced on Huma's phone, that her husband was sexting 15 year olds with. Just a big happy crime family.

Regarding Trump being 5X worse than Clinton, I wouldn't be shocked, for in general, I'm weary of those who seek power, but right now, he hasn't done a fraction of the things she has done.

Trump hasn't had the same access and power as Hilary. What has Trump done with the power he has had? Manipulated the tax system to enrich himself, screw people out of money, con people out of money with his BS university, bully people and sexually harass and assault women. He's an out and out bigot, a habitual liar, an idiot and a bully who managed to lose almost a billion dollars. How the hell is he qualified to be President? What qualities does he have?! the ability to insult people?

You've just described Hillary to the letter... Same woman who when asked- did you wipe your server? Responds with- "like with a cloth?".

How fn dumb does she think the American people are with this nonsense...

Frank Luntz -- certainly no liberal icon -- tweeted this update on polling since the Comey announcement. Let's hope this lack of impact continues all this week.

Basically he says in the 8 states and national polls run since Comey's release, "don't show a shift yet."

best highlight: YouGov poll of PA -- unchanged (+8 Clinton) and 2 up in CO, now +3 Clinton from +1 in previous poll. Also Emerson WI poll -- still +6 Clinton, unchanged from previous poll.

I hope Hillary wins and they investigate whether Comey broke the Hatch law with this announcement. I think he's in trouble if she wins.

And 36% of people in Florida have already voted. Among those who have voted, 54% Clinton, 37% Trump. Those who haven't voted are 51 Trump, 42 Hillary.

It sounds like the entire FBI dept was in on this. One way or another it was going to come out.

https://gma.yahoo.com/former-attorney-general-holder-other-former-doj-officials-062455426--abc-news-topstories.html

Both candidates are flawed. Given that, I'll take Hillary. She told one lie that matters about the E-mail which paints her as a bit reckless about her technology. I doubt she makes the same mistake twice.
Trump on the other hand:

1. Cannot stay on task. Lacks intelligence, patience and temperament.
2. Treats women, minorities, and muslims with disrespect and ignorance.
3. Policies are not viable.

That makes him not fit for the office.

Finally, under subpoena, Trump appeared for a short deposition. When asked about the missing documents, he made a shocking admission: The Trumps had been destroying their corporate records for the previous six months and had no document-retention program. They had conducted no inspections to determine which files might have been sought in the discovery requests or might otherwise be related to the case. Instead, in order to “save space,” Trump testified, officials with his company had been tossing documents into the shredder and garbage.

In subsequent filings, Power Plant maintained that Trump Hotels had intentionally deceived the court in its March 2006 filing when it claimed it had located no emails relevant to the case because, at that point, it had not yet conducted any searches of its computer system. Trump Hotels executives did not instruct their IT department to examine backup computer tapes until 2007, and even then the job wasn’t done, depositions show. And when computer specialists finally attempted to electronically locate any relevant documents that had survived the flurry of deletions, the procedures were absurdly inadequate. While looking for relevant documents, the technology team was told to use only two search terms—the name of the tribe and the last name of the former Trump associate. So even if there was an email that stated, “Donald Trump learned the full details of the Hard Rock casino deal in Florida in 1999,” it would not have been found by this search.

reub wrote:So what happened to ABC's 12 point lead for Clinton over Trump? It evaporated in a week and that was before the new email investigation. The pollsters are crooked and working for Hillary just as the media is.

It is normal for individual polls to bounce around. On average, her lead had dropped from around 6 points to 4 points in the aggregate polling before this story.
