Bernstein: FBI Would Not Reopen Case Unless New Evidence Was "A Real Bombshell"
Real Clear Politics ^ | 10/28/2016 | Tim Hains

Posted on 10/28/2016 1:41:19 PM PDT by GilGil

CARL BERNSTEIN: Well, there's no question that the e-mails have always been the greatest threat to her candidacy for president, that her conduct in regard to the e-mails is really indefensible and if there was going to be more information that came out, it was the one thing, as I said on the air last night, actually that could really perhaps affect this election.

We don't know what this means yet except that it's a real bombshell. And it is unthinkable that the Director of the FBI would take this action lightly, that he would put this letter forth to the Congress of the United States saying there is more information out there about classified e-mails and call it to the attention of congress unless it was something requiring serious investigation. So that's where we are...

Is it a certainty that we won't learn before the election? I'm not sure it's a certainty we won't learn before the election.

One thing is, it's possible that Hillary Clinton might want to on her own initiative talk to the FBI and find out what she can, and if she chooses to let the American people know what she thinks or knows is going on. People need to hear from her...

Yes, Trump's chances are getting better with each passing day. But you can't ignore history, nor can you expect the next Atty. General -- Giuliani or whomever -- to do a total purge of the DOJ over night. That's what it'd take to get any sort of objective investigation going. And the FBI would need a similar flush-out Every agent, starting with Comey and ending with the folks in the mail rooms, would need to be canned and replaced. They're all tainted, and need to go.

So, I'm not sure what this "gigantic wave cresting" is, or why it's chasing me. All I know is history, and that it repeats in perpetuity, unless and until something cataclysmic happens.

Maybe her and Huma will retreat to a bunker and end it like Hitler did.

I think that Barky is double-checking on his secret overseas accounts...he could be in big trouble, whether he pardons the corrupt, lying old crone or not. Do it, and she MUST spill the beans on everyone or face jail time (and she’s not going to jail for ANYONE, much less Obama); if not, she’s sing like a canary to make a deal to avoid jail time.

Barky’s probably shocked at how quickly this all fell apart for him, how quickly he’s been covered by fleas for lying down with the Arkansas dogs.

Oh, what I wouldn’t give to be a fly on the wall in the WH’s 3rd floor residence tonight! The Wookie is probably giving him a triple dose of Hell.

He won’t have to purge them all...that is clear from today.

And that wave, in case you have some very dark glasses on, is the vote of the people.

None of this would have happened if Hillary was a strong candidate with a decent chance of victory. Not everyone in D.C. is susceptible to the State Controlled Media’s smoke and mirrors. Comey understands that he could be charged successfully with Obstruction of Justice for what he did in July by a Trump Administration.

Keep in mind, technically Obama can pardon himself.

"He won’t have to purge them all...that is clear from today."

On those points, we'll just have to agree to disagree. D.C. is a cesspool, and every politician, federal employee, political appointee, et cetera is corrupt and needs to be sent packing (and then replaced). That will take time.

On an airplane at 50000 feet that is ten miles up, so too far away from cell towers on the ground, plus the metal plane acts as a Faraday cage blocking almost all cell signal.

Even if the reporter held his phone up against the window, and got a tiny data signal, at 500 mph it would be switching towers every few seconds and would disconnect.

Wifi provided by the plane would have outside antennas picking up Internet from satellites. They turned off the wifi on the plane because they knew this was about to break.

Wow. That’s a very interesting analysis. Makes perfect sense. The rat’s are abandoning the ship.

Who knows what banter a husband and wife might have about illegality at the wife’s work. She Hillary’s number two.

The FBI is reading all that.

Watch and see how the Establishment will rally to her defense.

The MSM has been crapping on Weiner longer than they have been crapping on Trump.

If Hillary's emails are all mixed in with Carlos Danger's privates, they are going to have a very hard time separating the wheat from the shaft. And the average voter is going to have an even harder time.

Advantage TRUMP.

I bet Weiner is singing like a canary right about now.

If all this is what it purports to be, Wiener may be singing a duet with Vince Foster real soon, regardless of the outcome.

Not true.

The very simple observation is that my cell phone works just fine inside when the plane is sitting on the ground. Cell phone signals have a wavelength a less than 10 inches, they go right through the windows in the plane.

Try it at ten miles up when the cell towers are below, not sideways to the plane.

I’m sitting on a plane now. Taking off soon. Will confirm tonight it likely gets zero bars above 30000 feet.

...and I’m betting that they copied the emails...

It all depends on who found the emails.

If the guy who found them did not have experience with classified information, he may well have copied them. If had had experience he would have known that just copying them was also a federal offense, and the fact that the information may have already been disclosed does not make them any less classified, or the penalty any less.

* * * * * *

What is really interesting is that they usually "mirror" any device before they try to investigate what is on it, so now there is at least one extra copy. And maybe just maybe there are many if more than one person was working on it at the same time. Storage is super cheap these days, and it is possible they don't really know how many times the devices were mirrored.

And, if the evidence is Hillary giving instructions to destroy evidence, that is not classified. It isn't even part of the Weiner investigation, so there could be lots & lots of copies of that.

More is coming like a flood.

cheryl mills used (more than one) private emails for gov't work.

Huma used her private email to archive emails from hillary (and for all we know others at state) so much so that some that have been found are completely redacted. Can you say secret (hopefully not SAP).

Given guilty verdicts for Petraous (sp) and other general officers for a single wrong word or access this is a steamship foghorn of treason crimes.

For some she can say 'well, it was my helper and I don't know what she was doing behind my back' but reportedly some are from and to herself so ... buh bye if there is justice left in America.

If she doesn't drop out then we have a lot of work to do to resuscitate our Constitutional Republic.

"Trump is a frickin genius!"

Genius, yes quite probably...

But could he be more?

Perhaps a Senior Jedi Master?
