FBI to take new ‘investigative steps’ on Clinton emails
The Washington Post ^ | 10/28/2016 | Rosalind S. Helderman

The FBI will investigate whether additional classified material is contained in emails sent using Hillary Clinton’s private email server while she was sectretary of state, FBI director James Comey informed Congressional leaders Friday.

The announcement appears to restart the FBI’s probe of Clinton’s server, which previously ended in July with no charges. The explosive announcement, coming less than two weeks before the presidential election, could reshape a campaign in that Clinton, the Democratic nominee, had been leading in public polls.

In a letter to congressional leaders, Comey said that the FBI had, in connection with an “unrelated case,” recently “learned of the existence of emails that appear to be pertinent to the Clinton investigation.”

Comey wrote that he had been briefed on the new material Thursday. “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 wrote.

Comey's reputation has been destroyed. He probably knows Trump has a very good chance of winning this election and doesn't want to go to jail.

Logic tells me that for Patrick Kennedy to suggest a ‘quid pro quo’ if the investigators will change the ‘classified’ markings on emails - there MUST have been ‘classified’ material.

This is going to amount to a mountain of nothing.

Investigative steps to make sure the other monetary payoffs can't be traced.

Thousands of classified emails aren’t enough? Now we need to take another hundred years to find more?

If you can’t win, then delay, delay, delay.

Comey is one of Obama’s useful idiots. And so are everyone else working as the FBI (or DOJ, for that matter).

And clear her again 3 days before the election.
Why would anybody trust what the FBI says is beyond me.

There is so much more to investigate than the emails. That is for sure. But first the FBI has to purged and cleaned up.

It must have been agonizing for the liberals at Wapo to write this.

Millions of citizens are obstructing justice by holding on to copies of emails and not turning them over to the FBI. Cuomo at CNN warned us.

The FBI’s rep is shot, completely shot.

How could anyone trust them, or a Justice Department that takes the 5th before Congress?

State seems to be a conglomerate of moles working for the Globalist oligarchs while Homeland doesn’t do anything that will jeopardize the oligarchs plans for the disintegration of our borders and nation.

Let's fix this to be truthful since the thoroughly corrupt Comey runs the show there ...

IOW, Comey knows that Hill will tank and is covering his tracks before The Donald becomes POTUS.

I don’t get some people on here always whining about this is nothing or this is going to be a nothing Burger. It’s less than two weeks before the election and this is very damaging. And it’s reported on the Washington Post and it will be on Twitter. who cares if she goes to jail as long as Trump wins and then he can do what he needs to her. only a fool thought she was going to be indicted under Obama but the WikiLeaks and the James O’Keefe videos are like a constant assault of jabs and believe me jabs add up to a lot of pain

If there were not an election in 11 days, then history would suggest she gets away with it again. But, there is indeed an election in 11 days. This is not a nothing burger in that context.
