Could it be we're seeing "No man (or woman) is more important than the Party." in play?
(a) Hillary collapses and withdraws - later we get emotional speeches from Chelsea & Bill how their mom & wife were hounded by a combo of vast right wing conspiracy and Putin to the point of collapse.
(b) Kaine - who's cypher, while Trump was demonized for months, wins by a landslide.

The issue is complicated because the computer is considered to belong to Anthony Weiner, her estranged husband, and the case may raise spousal privilege legal protections for Abedin.
Government lawyers hope to secure the warrant to permit investigators to review thousands of emails on a computer Abedin shared with Weiner, officials said.
The new search warrant is needed because the existing authorization, covered by a subpoena, related only to the ongoing investigation of Weiner, who is accused of having sexually explicit communications with an underage girl.
A midnight call: "Anthony. Be smart. Do you want to live? We can make all dis go away.."

I'm wondering if it wasn't the FBI that discovered the emails in the first place.

Spousal privilege? I thought that meant they couldn't force someone to testify verbally against their spouse. I don't think it means everything in sight is off limits, including physical evidence.

Sadly, virtually 100% of those who are either directly publicly funded or are rent-seekers in industries that exist primarily due to government regulation don't care and never will.
They are not voting for someone for president who will do the VERY few things government must do and do them well. They are voting for a mercenary who will defend their magic checks without regard to whether or not that will destroy America eventually. In essence, they have come to value their rice bowl more than the businesses, liberties, and lives of their private sector neighbors.
I've been saying here for two years that you cannot scandal Hillary Clinton enough that a public employee or a welfare recipient or a lawyer who works at a lobbying firm in Alexandria or an OSHA consultant or a mid-level executive at Goldman Sachs or an NPR addict will vote for someone else. Hillary Clinton could set fire to ten third graders on national TV every morning from now until the election and such as those would still vote for her.

Ditto NMU. She and the champ could be conducting televised Pre-K executions in the Rose Garden. They'd both still win an election.

HillaryClinton could set fire to ten third graders on national TV
Could be right. The Clintons were in office when 25 children dies at the Branch Davidian fire in Waco--not much was done about this. And yet, there seems to be a revolt simmering within the FBI.
A New York state assembly candidate is offering up a large sum of money to embattled former Rep. Anthony Weiner in return for his electronic devices.
Isn't that a conspiracy to obstruct justice at this point?
Dr. Dean Hart, a life-long Democrat from Long Island, said he plans to drop by the former congressman's Manhattan home later Friday evening to deliver his written request and the money, should Weiner choose to comply with the request. While the specific sum of money is undisclosed, Hart revealed to TheBlaze that it is in the "high six-figure" range, as he is a "very, very wealthy man."
"What's going on with Anthony Weiner is unbelievable, and someone needed to step up to the plate," Hart said. "Someone needs to rescue him, somebody needs to provide for him some sort of financial support."
Hart contended that Weiner has been out of work "possibly" because of the "illness" that he faces and the money could provide a financial cushion for him to "get him out of the house" and "stay out of trouble." And, as he said Weiner is "shameless in a lot of ways," Hart predicted he would take his money.
But he also asserted that he needs to take Weiner's electronic devices away from him in order to protect Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton from being brought down with him, especially as the former congressman has been accused of exchanging lewd messages with an underaged girl.

So the real reason is to protect the Hildabeest. More dollars than sense. Anything to protect people from the responsibility they bear for their actions.

I don't think it's possible to buy stuff that's already been booked as evidence out of the evidence room as a defense gambit.

Whispers of "payback" are being directed at Hillary Clinton after she decried as "unprecedented" the surprise FBI revival of its probe of her email scandal.
That's because 24 years ago, as former President George H.W. Bush was surging back against challenger Bill Clinton, a special prosecutor raised new charges against Bush in the Iran-Contra probe, prompting Clinton to claim he was running against a "culture of corruption."

If I remember correctly, the Federal judge laughed the entire "indictment" out of court and it died as a political trick unfortunately several months after the election.
Dems seem to think "October Surprises" only work one way...they forget that even the most "bought" bureaucrat has his limits and there is something seriously afoot to get Comey to do this.

Dont forget that bullshit they pulled on Ted Stevens in Alaska - that was the 60th vote Obama/Redd/Pelosi needed for Obamacare. Had they not brought charges that were thrown out, Stevens would have been reelected, and we would not have Obamacare.
[GP] Donald Trump and Melania Trump held and interview with George Stephanopoulos from ABC News. Stephanopoulos always tries to come across as some sort of intellectual non-biased journalist but this is far from the truth.
Stephanopoulos worked for the Clintons in the 1990’s and was the White House communications Director from 1992 through 1996.
George also donated to the Clinton Foundation and was noted in WikiLeaks as one of the many media ’journalists’ doing all they can to get Hillary elected.
But he got Trumped ‐ at the 18 min 40 second mark of the interview he asks Trump if he would have done anything different and Trump’s response was epic.
George Stephanopoulos: When you look back over the sweep of this campaign, going back to last June, is there anything you regret?
Donald Trump: Oh absolutely I would have loved to have done certain things over but you can’t. You can’t. But that’s true in life. I would have loved to have done in life certain things over I guess. And you would have too.
George Stephanopoulos: Give me one.
Donald Trump: You would loved not to have contributed to the Clinton Foundation as an example. There are things you wish you wouldn’t do... But George all you can do is put your head down and move forward.
[Guardian] Hillary Clinton's campaign chair on Saturday led a chorus of Democratic party fury over the FBI’s decision to review a new batch of her staff’s emails, which was announced just 11 days before the presidential election in a striking break with law enforcement tradition.
The Clinton campaign launched an extraordinary criticism of James Comey, the director of the FBI, who faced anger for his dramatic and late intervention in the race, which deviated from FBI protocol. Comey stood accused of betraying the bureau’s political neutrality, and came under growing pressure to make public everything he knows.
The latest twist in a topsy turvy election arrived on Friday afternoon, when Comey said in a letter to Congress the FBI would review whether there was any classified information in new "emails that appear to be pertinent to the investigation". In a carefully worded letter, the director said he wanted to "supplement my previous testimony" about the original Clinton email investigation, which he told Congress had closed this summer, and said: "The FBI cannot yet assess whether or not this material may be significant."
On Saturday, Clinton campaign chair John Podesta said: "By providing selective information, he’s allowed partisans to distort and exaggerate in order to inflict maximum political damage and no one can separate what is true from what is not because Comey has not been forthcoming with the facts.
"What little Comey has told us makes it hard to understand why this step was warranted at all."
Con't.

Exactly when is the deadline for opening or reopening an investigation? July? August? September? October? November?
I mean, Hillary was running for President back in 2000 when Bill left office, probably even before then. Any investigation between now and then would have had an impact on her chances. So when is the deadline?

What's his escape plan in the event she loses or legally goes down?
#13
I've suggested that he NEVER be without SS guards, let his medicine out of his sight, or eat anything that someone else hasn't tasted first until about a week after the election, no matter who wins, #12 anon.
Just think of the sympathy vote his sudden death would give Shrillery if he kicked the bucket a few days before election day. I'll bet she has.

The reported 650K emails is a lot on a computer I assume she rarely used.
I suspect she accessed an account or more than one and the email client went and downloaded every email in the account(s). I'll further speculate she didn't know this had happened. Could be a treasure trove.

In China, they've dammed the Three Gorges;
We Yankees just damn our three Borgias.
In either case, leaking
Precipitates freaking
And brings out the pitchforks and torches.

Given the personalities involved: O probably panicked and canceled, and when was reassured and uncanceled. It's not like somebody (who matters) is going to call him on it.
#4
there's nothing the DNC can do now, it's too late to drop Hillary as candidate
they have to run with her
my fear is that the Trump campaign will focus too much on negative-hillary campaigning instead of giving people something positive to vote for in Trump
and Trump has a LOAD of really great policies. His economics policy is excellent, so is his crackdown on illegal migrants
#5
Anon1, I don't think the MSM would publish anything positive Trump would say right now. If Trump gave a major economic policy speech loaded with goodness, only the people at the rally would hear about it.

Only meeting on the schedule is campaign strategy meeting with Huma at the Vince Foster conference room at Fort Marcy Park
A WORD OF CAUTION: After this story was posted with screenshots taken by SS95, the Clinton Speech website referenced updated with Obama back on the schedule! See here.
Snopes.com (need we say more?) has reported that this story as FALSE. Before we pull this story, we have reached out to the editor of SS95 for a response... we will update here.
[Counterjihad] Protective detail assigned to guard former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her two residences complained that her closest aide Huma Abedin often overrode standard security protocols during trips to the Middle East, and personally changed procedures for handling classified information, including highly sensitive intelligence briefs the CIA prepared for the president, newly released FBI documents reveal.
The security agents, who were interviewed as witnesses in the FBI's investigation of Clinton's use of an unauthorized private email server to send classified information, complained that Abedin had unusual sway over security policies during Clinton's 2009-2013 tenure at Foggy Bottom.
FBI interview notes indicate that Abedin, a Pakistani-American Muslim whose family has deep ties to Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and the radical Muslim Brotherhood, was granted Top Secret security clearance for the first time in 2009, when Clinton named her deputy chief of staff for operations. Abedin said she "did not remember" being read into any Special Access Programs (SAPs) or compartments.

#7 I think they've found direct evidence that Huma is a foreign intelligence asset and was passing all kinds of information on to her handlers.
I think it is a major espionage blowup and the Democrats including Lynch and the POTUS knew about this a long time ago and let it run.
There were suggestions that the Clinton Corruption LLC has many of the top democrats on the take and combined with a major intelligence blowup, I think we know from this why the Iranians were able to negotiate with such confidence and why Kerry was constantly blindsided by their demands...they knew what the US was after before he did.
Barack Hussein Obama and Hillary Clinton are the founders of ISIS. We have proven that through emails and documents leaked from WikiLeaks, but liberal media outlets still refuse to cover it.
After all, they are still more focused on what Trump said eleven years ago than what Hillary has actually done.
Because of brave patriots like Julian Assange,
...that's a matter of opinion...
we have been given more evidence that Hillary Clinton is more connected to ISIS than we originally believed.
An email was leaked between Clinton and John Podesta indicating that: "Western intelligence, US intelligence and sources in the region" to accuse Qatar and Saudi Arabia of "providing clandestine financial and logistic support to ISIL [or ISIS] and other radical Sunni groups in the region."
Citing the need to "use our diplomatic and more traditional intelligence assets," said Hillary to Podesta while arguing the current developments in the Middle East were "important to the U.S. for reasons that often differ from country to country."
Odd that Clinton argues Saudi Arabia and Qatar are helping fund ISIS when Hillary's largest donations come from those two countries.
