DRUDGE: '48 hours of madness' coming after FBI announcement stirs the 'hornets nest'

Internet news mogul Matt Drudge reacted on Sunday to news the FBI had cleared Hillary Clinton by forecasting that a stormy news cycle would dominate the final days of the presidential race. “Comey's head-fake just made the hornets nest even crazier!” the Drudge Report founder tweeted. The conservative news aggregator added: “48 hours of madness upcoming!!” It was not clear to what Drudge was referring, but the Clinton campaign warned on Sunday that any bombshell emails published by WikiLeaks in the final two days of the election would “probably” not be authentic. FBI Director James Comey informed Congress on Sunday that a review of new emails found in relation to the bureau’s investigation into Clinton’s use of a private email server had not yielded any reason for charges against the Democratic presidential nominee. Drudge has been a fierce Trump supporter throughout the 2016 campaign cycle. Shortly after the FBI announcement, a headline on his website read: "CONFUSED COMEY CLEARS HER AGAIN!"

Yep, filled up the cars. Just bought my first shotgun. Stocked up on essentials. Useful amount of cash on hand.

I do fear the recent DDoS internet attacks/outages were a test. There was a smaller one several weeks ago. I can imagine several scenarios where there’s some chaos and then the internet goes down - it would cause widespread problems.

"Worse possible thing that could happen to Clinton. Now everything people think about the Washington Establishment thinking itself above the law has been validated.

You WAY overestimate the average American voter.

Most likely most people don't even know about the email investigation ... they are to busy taking "selfies" for their Facebook account doing stupid things.

I almost have sympathy for Comey, I'm sure he was an honorable man at some time in the past.

I doubt that. He's the POS Federal US Attorney who led the prosecution of Martha Stewart.

Once a POS, ALWAYS a POS. :)

0blama wants illegals to vote and even considers their vote ‘sacred ‘. Crooked Comey thinks ILLary is above the law. What’s NOT to love about Trump?

Yup, in the aggregate this may help some undecideds who think the Obama announcement, the Comey announcement and the 'Mop Secret' maid sending Top Secret Faxes for Hillary is just too over the top and they will break for Trump. We shall see.

Pray for America and prepare. .

Bernard B. Kerik ‏@BernardKerik 2h2 hours ago There are 691,200 seconds in 8 days. FBI Director Comey reviewed 650,000 emails in 8 days? An email per second? Americans aren't stupid!

No one should believe there is not enough to indict her. They just don’t want to.

Our nation is being run by criminals who are untouchable and those who swore an oath to bring them to justice are incapable and incompetent.

Fidelity, bravery, integrity. I know there are agents who still believe in this, I worked with them. But the DOJ is a badly flawed thing at this moment.

I think so, too. I’ve seen “on the fence” voters say this made up their minds to vote Trump.

Trump WILL win a popular election. The numbers are so grand that an election fraud won’t even really do the trick.

Trump is going to win. If he does, the revolution will begin. The NYPD, most of America’s police, the military, the FBI.. these are powerful people to piss off. They know what a Trump rally looks like, and they know what a Hillary rally looks like and they all know her crimes.

When Trump wins, this will only be the beginning. The congress will do everything they can to destroy him. The media will as well. He is going to have the toughest presidency in American history.

And I’m not being poetic there. It will be the toughest presidency in history.

If they declare her the winner, we’ll need to actually do what we say we will do. First, declare this government illegitimate. Next, stop paying taxes. Next, take to the streets not to demand being heard, but to demand their ousting. This will involve guns.

>>how did these emails get on Weiner/Abedin electronics?<<

...and the maid handling confidential info. Chelsea and Sidney handling sensitive info as well. Foreign entities hacking her server..on and on and on.

ALL of this transpired because Clinton had a homebrew, unsecured server.

This ain't goin away.

Sadly, you are correct.

I am still praying for a Trump win, but even if he gets it, we only get a fleeting reprieve from our country’s steady march to destruction.

The ballot box has failed us. All the power is in the Judiciary now. If Hillary is able to consolidate it further over the next four years, the War on Conservatism / Religion will be unrelenting.

I shudder to think how it ends up.

Yes, Comey is corrupt, no doubt, but Loretta Lynch (and Holdrer before her) is the fly in the ointment. I'm sure she made it clear to Comey (again) that she isn't going to do anything.

Honestly?

I think that there was an internal “revolt”. Since laptops belonging to the Clinton crew were not destroyed, there was some faction there that kept stuff under wraps ( and saw things that they knew should have been made public, and pressured the director to open it back up “or else”.

I think then the WH and the Justice Department pressured him to cut corners and cut this short. As people have said, there is no way to go through those emails THAT quick. I’m thinking agents that wanted to do it right were screwed with the whole way through, and in the end he overruled the agents and “closed” this. Perhaps the WH said they would give him cover. Maybe the guy is just exhausted. His career is as good as over. No one likes or respects him.

Now that he’s done this, it’s a matter of if the agents will drop the other shoe and when.

Obama himself just invalidated our election today by inviting the whole world to vote in it and promising them they would not be held responsible for breaking election laws.
Congress, if there are any members left with balls, should pounce on this tomorrow......Period.
