They are now trying to discredit a man who clearly protected Hillary in congressional hearings. Comey probably had to re-open the case cause pressure from inside the FBI grew too big.
This is just like from Grisham novels!

She could come out and do windmills, naked ones, even bring out a sex tape with a convicted illegal immigrant, and they'd still vote for her...

Neither Colin Powell nor Condoleezza Rice are running for the Presidency of my country. when you go for this position your dirty laundry will be laid out on your front lawn for all to see. I don't like Trump but HRC is about as corrupt as they come.

If they're that arsed release the lot instead of being vague that they "may be pertinent"

I'd consider "grab them by the [Poor language removed]", "I'll be dating that 10 year old in ten years" and other comments of that nature to be far worse than "I have binders full of women" which is what derailed Mitt Romney's campaign, and certainly in line with the thoughts of a sexual predator

That's the thing as it being part of a criminal investigation they can't, and Hillary Clinton who knows the law very well realizes this. Her demands calling for more information at this time are nothing more than going through the motions because she's worried. My bet is that she is hoping nothing gets released before the election making it even more difficult to prosecute if she is voted in as President.

Honestly, I think it should, rightly, take a lot to endorse Trump over her given pretty much everything he says and does is ill-fitting for a presidential nominee.
I don't particularly like her, though.
Colin Powell is not being investigated by the FBI for his actions; either they are not the same, or his treatment is not the same, but he apparently used a private server for SOS email, including transmission of confidential material. I don't know whether that should be investigated by Federal BI and prosecuted by the Department OJ, but I'm not aware he's being investigated. I agree we should hold POTUS to a higher standard, but it's either worth the criminal prosecution or it's not, so let's call a spade a spade.
Well that's the deal, they're not even related to Clinton apparently

According to the Washington Post, James Comey may or may not have said this.......
"Good morning. I’m here to give you an update on the FBI’s reopened investigation of Secretary Clinton’s use of a personal email system during her time as secretary of state.
What I would like to do today is tell you three things: what we did, why we did it and what we found. The answers: “We screwed up,” “I was trying to cover my backside” and “Darned if I know.” Allow me to elaborate.
Just five days ago, I was a public servant of unquestioned integrity. The first paragraph of my obituary was going to be about that time I went to John Ashcroft’s hotel room and defended the Constitution from White House counsel Alberto Gonzales, who wanted to make torture legal.
Yes, Republicans and conservatives were furious with my recommendation not to prosecute Clinton, but nobody except the real Looney Tunes around Trump questioned my integrity. Now, people on both sides are calling me a hack.
It’s not the Democrats’ howling that bothers me. Harry Reid thinks I broke the Hatch Act, but he’s always popping off. He said Mitt Romney didn’t pay taxes and Trump is fat. And everybody knows Romney paid taxes.
But I thought my fellow Republicans would appreciate a makeup call rewarding months of badgering the ref. Instead I get Benghazi Jim Jordan, the Republican congressman from Ohio and honorary chairman of the Hillary-hater caucus, saying, “This was probably not the right thing for Comey to do.”
Thanks, buddy. Similar stuff from Larry Thompson, George Terwilliger, Michael Mukasey — even Karl Rove, per Fox News’s Bill Hemmer. And that loudmouth Joe Walsh says I was “wrong” and “unfair to Hillary.” Fox’s Judge Jeanine Pirro thinks what I did “disgraces and politicizes” the FBI and violates “the most fundamental rules of fairness and impartiality.” And she’s for Trump!
But this really gets me: Gonzales is using this to take his revenge for that night in the hospital. Mr. Torture thinks I made an “error in judgment” and he’s “somewhat perplexed about what the director was trying to accomplish here.”
Well, in the interest of transparency, let me tell him — and you. Since July, I had been getting a lot of grief from FBI agents who thought I went too easy on Clinton, and agents in the New York office were nearing mutiny. It was getting harder to keep them in line.
Then, last week, they jammed me. They sat on the new information for weeks, then dumped it on me 12 days before the election.
So I made a snap decision: I decided to protect myself. If Republicans in Congress found out I withheld this information before the election, I’d be impeached within hours. Heck, they tried to impeach the IRS commissioner for looking at them crosswise.
I thought my disclaimer in the letter to Congress admitting I didn’t know “whether or not this material may be significant” might signal that I was just checking a box — not so much.
The most ridiculous part is Democrats think I’m trying to throw the election for Trump. That orange buffoon? The guy thinks the Constitution has 12 articles!
Now I’m stuck. We don’t have time to read all the emails before the election, and we can’t release them. I’m less concerned about classified material than material involving Anthony Weiner’s weiner.
So, in the interests of transparency, here is what I’ve got:
What is on Weiner’s laptop? Beats me.
Are the emails just duplicates of ones we already have? Maybe.
Is there new evidence of mishandled classified information? No clue.
Why let this play out in the press with anonymous sources? Because I’m freaking out.
Why go public with this but say nothing about the Russians and Trump? Next question.
In full disclosure, I think I botched this one."
