DRUDGE: '48 hours of madness' coming after FBI announcement stirs the 'hornets nest'
business insider ^ | 11/6/16 | darcy

Posted on 11/06/2016 3:21:14 PM PST by knak

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!"

“A Special Prosecutor should have been appointed. “

I agree with you 100%. Ryan, McConnell and the GOP Congress should have been demanding a special prosecutor for over a year. If the shoe had been on the other foot the Democrats would have demanded, and gotten, a special prosecutor from a Republican administration and President (remember the Valarie Plame affair?). Unfortunately, or deliberately, the GOP Congress did not demand a special prosecutor. Instead the GOP House conducted multiple “investigations” of emails and Benghazi that went no where.

We will now live with the consequences of “leaders” who did nothing to save the Republic when they had the power to do so. Most of them are corrupt and compromised. What they fail to understand is by their complicity in the corruption they only bought a few minutes of time. If Hillary reaches the White House, she will use the power of the office to obtain revenge and destroy all opposition. I pity what will happen to Donald Trump when Hillary turns all of the alphabet agencies loose on him and his business interests. I will not shed a tear when Paul Ryan, John Boehner, and Mitch McConnell have her wrath turned on them.

And 2 - 3 years from now, when the wall hasn’t gotten past a senate filibuster or if by some miracle it is ever funded, gets an injunction slapped on it before the first brick is laid, what mystical ballot box are you going to give homage to then?

This system doesn’t belong to us anymore. And the folks that own the system chuckle and shake their heads at each other whenever we make believe that a vote actually matters.

America was special because of an unusually high consciousness of evangelical Christian principles. People did not put up with unseemly governments.

Your comment reminds me of British history. There were some really stinky figures in it.

Robert Shaw and John Travolta as the bad guys. Walter Matthau and Denzel as the transit cops.

Watched them both back-to-back this summer.

Excellent casts in both of them.

This will definitely make lots of people angry enough to vote for Trump, even if they have to stand in line several hours.

He had to pretend to do something about the revelation of 650,000 emails. So this is the result “nothing to see here, move along”. I think even non-Trumpers would have to wonder what’s the deal, since they *just got through saying* it would take awhile to go through them!

I fully expected a double cross....

isn't it just coincidental that the rats come out TODAY and say any wild wike leaks coming will probably be false...

they knew the comey plan...they knew what he was going to do...

Yeah... like he’s telling lies to the public on purpose as a kind of desperate smoke signal.

There is no logic in what Comey did, which means there is strategy in what he did. The goals of the strategy are not clear at all. I don’t think anyone can say that Hillary was helped by it all. Sunday is not a day where people are paying all that much attention to the news, and tomorrow morning is the last shot at leaks. If something in that field develops, today’s announcement will be buried.

Yes, we have done/will do out part.

I think the media is going to shove Hillary down our throats over the next 2 days.

I just made the mistake of tuning in to FNC and Hume said the odds makers are now predicting Hillary wins by a 5 to 1 margin.

I was not sure what time Hannity came on so I turned the darned thing off.

It took more than a year to review a few tens of thousands of emails, and one week to review more than half a million emails.

That's exactly what I thought.

Comey doesn’t want to be blamed for Clinton loss.
