This needs to be dealt with NOW by Clinton campaign. This could easily sway the election and huge

[anneboleyn]

partisan issue with the republicans are going insane with statements. The Clinton team needs to hit this hard as it is fucking ridiculous. The way CNN is reporting this is incredibly damaging and I can't even imagine Fox. CNN is saying this is "extraordinary," etc -- all bad. They need to spin Comey and his shit NOW -- argue that this is an attempt to sway the election which is fucking insane.

1. I'm not concerned at all.

[anneboleyn]

19. It is running as Breaking News on all msm, all saying this is a stunning announcement. This is bad

and I am absolutely not a "concern" poster. The media coverage will be nonstop, and the campaign needs to deal with it head on and hard. And yes I certainly do think it might sway undecided voters.

[stonecutter357]

37. nope not even close

[NYC Liberal]

24. I'm not either. Not in the least.

[Doctor Jack]

2. Drama drama dram

[geek tragedy]

4. what the hell can they do?

The FBI director has the emails, is in complete control of the timeline and the narrative.

He's doing his best to get Donald Trump elected.

All they can do is come up with their best oppo drop on Trump, and then fire Comey's ass when they get elected.

[Joe941]

11. Obama should fire Comey now!

[PoliticAverse]

23. You know that would be a really bad idea for the Democratic side, right? n/t

[napi21]

27. Although I'd love to see him gone, for Obama to do that now would be wrong.

It would look like Obama was trying to help Hillary hide something. Let the story play out then let Hillary replace Comey with a less partisan individual!

[emulatorloo]

16. Can do a little pushback, but yeah anything heavy handed would likely backfire

Also I may be naive but idiot media has a short attention span. Trump will do something insane, and as you say, more oppo drops to come.

[anneboleyn]

20. They have to -- this could easily lose senate seats for us as well as the presidency. It is shit

like this that sways those last-minute undecideds.

[emulatorloo]

22. They will do something. So far they have run a very strategic campaign

[Farmgirl1961]

5. I'm wondering the same thing

Even if we're not terribly concerned, the MSM is having a heyday over this. I'm kind of in agreement that the Clinton team needs to say something (even if obliquely) to stop the spin chatter.

[VMA131Marine]

6. Lighten up, Francis!

[anneboleyn]

21. Well, the media "breaking news" coverage is horrendous, so Clinton and co need to deal. NOW.

[HipChick]

8. They need to get in front of this...

I can't hearing that cheeto face glowering about this..

[Thrill]

9. They better get another accuser or leak his tax returns because this is the story now

up to election day. Unreal

[emulatorloo]

10. Knock doors and answer any questions our voters have on this manufactured nonsense

Only if somebody asks, most of our voters know the score.

[still_one]

12. You are absolutely right, and it needs to be done NOW

[NoGoodNamesLeft]

13. This is why I don't like Wolf Blitzer, he always does this

Once the next host comes on they should correct it, hopefully.

[tonyt53]

14. Everybody knows that Comey is a Republican. To be welcomed back into their club, he did this.

Lest we forget that he did it at the urging of members of Congress. Just how did that happen? Has Trumpland already happened? When does Congress decide who is investigated by the FBI, which is under the Justice Dept? This stinks more than their first investigation.

[BlueMTexpat]

15. This is total, complete and

absolute merde de taureau!

There is NO THERE THERE and there never has been. It is yet another manufactured scandal perpetrated by RW toadies.

[LeftInTX]

17. Clinton has a right to know what this is about

Asked to respond, a top Clinton campaign spokesperson tells NBC News, "No idea."

If I was Clinton, I would be all over this personally with the FBI, then she can respond to the public.

ETA: If the FBI was investigating me, I would want to know all the details. I believe she has every right to know. Especially since Comey is announcing this publicly.

[vdogg]

18. I agree it needs to be dealt with, and I have no doubt they will.

[Monk06]

25. He's going to investigate the 300 new emails and has given no time line

He won't publish any opinion until all the emails have been examined for security issues. As with the previous ones that will take weeksm, even months.

It's a punt to get the Trumpen Proletariat off his back

But instead it will give them a lazer dot to chase for the next week instead of focusing on some kind of campaign strategy

It's a gift for Clinton really

[Stand and Fight]

26. Stop. The sky isn't falling. Read:

[regnaD kciN]

31. Major headlines on all news channels versus one tweet by Eichenwald…

…which do you think is going to take greater hold in voters' minds?

Look, no one here is contesting the facts -- look closely, and you see there's no there there. But the Clinton campaign cannot let the initial narrative be the one that sinks in, or it will be Goebbels's lie that, repeated often enough, becomes "the truth."

[Stand and Fight]

35. You apparently haven't bother to read his whole timeline.

The New York Times and Newsweek have both come out to say it's a non story. It's a lot more than one tweet from one person if you bothered to actually look.

[LenaBaby61]

34. A BIG FAT NOTHING BURGER...

From Comey

My friend said Comey Rick-Rolled the Media and GOP.

I wouldn't go that far, seeing as Comey is a Rethug and a fame-seeking idiot. However, there's a big fat NOTHING BURGER with these NEW emails. I noticed that CNN is doing a major walk back now from saying initially when the news broke that this could be a game-changer in the election to uh

Yeah, I can ONLY imagine what's going on over on MSNBCRNCTMZ, with tRump, and the rest of the LOSERS KellyAnne et al.

Proceed Madame President ...

[Coyotl]

28. So much concern, so little fact. Why try to start a panic?

[regnaD kciN]

30. I agree. Back during WJC's campaigns…

…Carville had a "rapid response team" to get the facts out immediately and make sure their side of the story was front-and-center in the public consciousness. Does HRC not have a similar team? This (including the fact that partisan House Republicans misreported the initial news) should have been dealt with already, IMHO…before the evening news begins airing.

[underpants]

32. I agree

[Stever]

33. this is just more tricks. dont worry about it we are good.

[jberryhill]

36. Nonsense

I think they should wait until more facts are available.

[riversedge]

38. I just turned on TV-just learned of this from TRUMP!! He is

talking to his rally fans and it is not pretty.
OMG!!!

[riversedge]

39. Paul Krgman tweet....

Comey needs to provide full info immediately. Otherwise he has clearly made a partisan intervention, betraying his office.
