Comey drops Hillary Clinton email bombshell; so tell us more


FBI Director James Comey owes voters more information.

...........But it is extraordinary for such volatile information to emerge so close to Election Day and that’s especially true given how few specifics are known. Because Comey was so vague, voters can’t know what to think. The new emails could be anything from meaningless to evidence of criminal activity by Clinton to most anything in between.

Comey said the FBI had not yet assessed the new emails’ importance, said he does not yet know if they contain “significant” information, did not indicate if they include emails sent by Clinton and gave no indication how long it would take to reach any certainty.a take or leave thought.

Partisans on each side will assume the worst or the best, but until Comey provides more information it’s impossible to know.

So the FBI director has introduced an ominous cloud over the election at the last moment with little explanation. Millions of people have already voted and millions more plan to vote in coming days. It is incumbent upon Comey to provide more information as soon as possible so voters can make an informed decision.

Comey has been told to release any information immediately. Comey's speculation on nonspecific wrong doing is all he has.

lead investigator for all those Whitewater-Travel Gate-Blue Dress so called scandals? Seems to me,he and Starr got that shoved up their collective rear ends. Is this pay back,and if it is,the Guy needs to be sent packing.

Read the letter sent to his staffers,appears the language of Comey's letter was written with a deceitful bent.
