It appears it was delayed from the originally scheduled time, but it should be coming up soon in case you are interested. The only thing I know is that he is going to make an announcement and will take questions.

Rumors abound. I am not repeating any pro or con perspectives. I am comfortable to wait and see what is said. I do think the questions might be interesting.

1. It's like Xmas morning. You're getting the socks...not the Super Nintendo. nt

[Samantha]

3. I don't know what to think, so I am just waiting

I am surprised it is not on yet. My brother (who watches FOX) called me and said it was going to start in 40 minutes. That was more than 40 minutes ago....

I have heard nothing from CNN so I just wait.

4. I agree. Let's just wait and see

We are hungry for information--because we all just want this to end. It is a nightmare to have our Democratic frontrunner at the epicenter of a year-long investigation while we're in the throes of a Presidential election.

I highly doubt there will be any big announcements. If I had to take a guess, I would imagine that this might have to do with the laughable, bizarre drip of articles in the MSM that quote anonymous sources who are making inappropriate, unsubstantiated remarks about the investigation.

Shooting off your mouth about an FBI investigation is a big no no. Last time Josh Earnest did so, Loretta Lynch went public and admonished the White House in the press, in multiple outlets. She even did Colbert and continued her admonishment during that appearance.

Perhaps, he's going to tell everyone to zip it.

[Samantha]

8. I don't think it is going to be an earthquake either

Just some simple comments about the status of where the investigation is and taking questions from the press. I think perhaps like you it might be prompted to shut down rumors afloat....

13. It's Fitzmas all over again!

[bunnies]

15. What was your user name back then?

Im curious.

[randome]

16. Please. Fitzmas became a world-wide meme of mockery. EVERYONE knows about Fitzmas.

20. Doesnt change my question though.

[leveymg]

2. I'm not seeing anything about this on CNN. Link?

[Samantha]

5. I saw a notice here on DU yesterday;my brother called and said FOX said it would start in 40 minutes

But I am hearing nothing. It was suppose to happen at 10:00 am. Googled it - nothing about it showed up.

Sam

[Adrahil]

10. Who on Fox said it?

A number of the loons there have been predicting an indictment is imminent for months, so this could just be bullshit.

[grasswire]

17. Catherine Herridge...

their reporter covering the matter.

[joshcryer]

6. Where are you seeing this?

[Samantha]

9. I saw a reminder about it yesterday here; it was suppose to be at 10:00

And then my brother from Florida called and said he was waiting for it (he watches FOX) and he was sure he had not missed it. Had the station on early waiting for something. Then there was an announcement that the press conference would start in 40 minutes. The well has been dry since then. I got nothing more.

Sam

[joshcryer]

11. You'd think this would be front page headlines...

[grasswire]

19. not if it wasn't planned until last night nt

[Renew Deal]

7. Is there a link?

So far the only references to this are from two posts on DU with no sources.

[randome]

12. I'm not sure how much longer some can hold it in. I mean, there are limits, you know.

[hr][font color="blue"][center]Stop looking for heroes. BE one.[/center][/font][hr]

[Samantha]

14. Me too -- I found two more sources on this but they were just quoting FOX

and they are not sources I would link to here. I will try to send out an alert if I hear something about the time or the status.

18. I think this is where people got the info (WARNING: FOX NEWS)

[pdsimdars]

49. This isn't a link to the press conference, this is a link to the announcement of it.

[antigop]

50. it's where people got the info of the announcement. nt

[NCTraveler]

21. You say it was delayed from its original time.

What was its original time?

[Samantha]

46. originally announced for 10:00 am

[NCTraveler]

47. Do you have a link? I can't find anything.

I'm not trying a call out or anything. I actually find this to be interesting. I simply can't find anything outside of DU or a reputable source.

[hrmjustin]

22. When is this make believe press conference going to happen?

[floriduck]

23. How does one answer a question like that? If it's "make believe", it can't happen. Whew!

[hrmjustin]

24. Lol.

[randome]

35. In two or three 'business mornings', I believe.

[hr][font color="blue"][center]Stop looking for heroes. BE one.[/center][/font][hr]

[frylock]

51. It happened.

[hrmjustin]

53. Indeed but no indictment.

All the hype.

[frylock]

55. Nobody expected an indictment today.

But at least we received confirmation that Comey isn't Director of the Federal Bureau of Security Reviews, nor has the FBSR exonerated her of any wrongdoing. I wonder if Mrs Clinton and her surrogates will continue to refer to it as such?

[hrmjustin]

56. I think some did.

[grasswire]

25. just heard FOX say that their reporter Catherine Herridge was at Comey's presser.

had FOX on to watch for announcement, and caught that.

I don't know if the presser was not on camera, or if it is finished. Report upcoming, they said.

[hrmjustin]

26. Watching fox rots your brains.

27. NYT reported Hillary is influenced by Fox news pundit:

"Hillary's "Greatest Influence" on Military Issues, a Fox News Pundit Who Makes Money From War"

Meet Hillary Clinton's "Greatest Influence" on Military Issues, a Fox News Pundit Who Makes Money From War


A profile of Hillary Clinton in the latest issue of the New York Times Magazine makes the case, convincingly, that the Democratic frontrunner is the most hawkish candidate in the race, from her upbringing as the daughter of a Navy training officer to her disagreements, as secretary of state, with President Obama over use of force. The piece outlines her relationships with several powerful current and former members of the military, and notes that the “single greatest influence” on her thinking about the military is a retired George W. Bush-era four-star general named Jack Keane.

How Hillary Clinton Became a Hawk

Throughout her career she has displayed instincts on foreign policy that are more aggressive than…

Fox News viewers may recognize Keane as one of the network’s frequently consulted military analysts, a role he has used to call withdrawal from Iraq a “disaster,” to argue against closing Guantanamo Bay, and to call a 2014 Pentagon report on climate change evidence of a “misguided priority” in the Obama administration.

While campaigning for president, Clinton has called out Bernie Sanders for his criticisms of President Obama, despite her own frequent disagreements with the president on foreign policy issues. She has positioned herself as the candidate who would carry on the president’s legacy if elected. As the Times Magazine profile notes, she has said in national security speeches that her plans for dealing with threats in the Middle East represent an “intensification and acceleration” of the president’s, not a clean break from them.

But Keane, who has informally advised Clinton on military affairs for 15 years, dispenses tough-guy criticisms of the president regularly....

28. As a NYEr I learned a long time ago not to believe everything the times says.

[amborin]

30. LOL! denial and shoot the messenger

[randome]

33. That is not a 'report'. It's an opinion piece.

No one shot the messenger. There is no message.

[pmorlan1]

29. Could be an announcement about something else

I'm sure he will be asked about the emails but the subject of the presser might be something else entirely.

[hrmjustin]

31. You are aware he is not allowed to discuss details of an ongoing case?

[pmorlan1]

32. Yes I'm very aware

Why do you ask?

[hrmjustin]

34. Lol. I am sorry I meant to ask the op.

[pmorlan1]

41. No problem

It just had me really puzzled. Thanks for clearing it up.

[MineralMan]

36. Hmm...still no sign of it...

I'll check in later to see if it happened. Nothing in the news, either. Smells like smoke to me.

[JonLeibowitz]

37. Only "news" of it according to google is freerepublic. Not sure I believe this report.

[MineralMan]

39. Well, that settles it, then.

It's sure NOT to take place. Guess I'll relax.

[hrmjustin]

38. It happened and nothing big.

http://www.politico.com/story/2016/05/hillary-clinton-email-investigation-fbi-james-comey-223071


Sorry.

[NWCorona]

42. Even though he declined to say that it was a,criminal investigation

He did drop this.

"In response to a question, Comey said he wasn't familiar with the term "security inquiry" that Clinton and her aides have used to describe the ongoing probe. Comey said he considers the work agents are doing to be an "investigation."
"It's in our name. I'm not familiar with the term 'security inquiry','" the director said."

[hrmjustin]

44. Nothing Earth Shattering though. People got themselves all excited for nothing.

[NWCorona]

45. Definitely some did.

[frylock]

52. Nothing big, other than putting that "security review" nonsense to bed.

The same "security review" nonsense that Hillary was claiming just a week ago.

[hrmjustin]

54. As I said nothing big.

[frylock]

57. Yeah, nothing.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

40. I am watching Malcolm X on HBO On Demand. Did somebody get arrested?

[NWCorona]

43. The best Spike movie IMHO

[antigop]

48. BWAHAAA! I'm not familiar with the term 'security inquiry'. LOL! nt
