Pete Williams sources say not about Clinton world w/holding emails or Podesta or Clinton emails.

[sunonmars]

in other words, nothing the hell to do with her....

This is electioneering.

[OKNancy]

1. The media outlets are going nuts in an effort to be first or break news...

and they are getting so much wrong.

[sunonmars]

3. and i hope she makes them all eat dirt in apologising.

[Iliyah]

6. Ditto.

Now it makes them look foolish, but shit I knew they were a long time ago. Journalism is effing dead.

[DURHAM D]

2. Yep. Comey is afraid he will be fired if

Hillary is elected.

They just reported on MSNBC that Democrats are furious at Comey.

What did Obama expect from a political operative?

[JoePhilly]

8. He was going to be fired after she wins.

He knew it .... everyone knew it.

He's trying to get soem extra bucks when he goes to work at a RW think tank.

[OnDoutside]

13. I thought FBI chief couldn't be fired once appointed ?

[JoePhilly]

15. Obama would ask/tell him to resign.

[DURHAM D]

16. Yes.

It is my understand that agency heads etc. write their letter of resignation the same day they start work and so they are always available for the President to activate.

[JoePhilly]

18. And very common to do so when administrations change.

[OnDoutside]

20. Good to hear, then we need a senior head to come out

And say what he has now done is deliberate, and makes his position untenable under a Clinton presidency.

[JoePhilly]

21. I actually think ...

... his position under her became untenable when he said she'd been "extremely careless".

He's conducting a formal investigation. And he finds NOTHING. And then he editorializes.

He was done then.

[OnDoutside]

22. Fair point.

[geek tragedy]

4. Of course Comey didn't put that in his letter, because that would have made

it a lot less damaging to Clinton.

Obama should fire that snake on November 9.

[Farmgirl1961]

5. I'm not sure I'm understanding your topic headline. Can you explain a little more?

n/t

[Orrex]

7. Thanks--I thought it was just me

I read it a dozen times and I still can't figure it out?

[emulatorloo]

17. This post will clarify

New Tweet from Tom Winter at NBC re. FBI - emails at issue not withheld by Clinton

He is doing a pretty good job tweeting about the FBI letter accurately.

Here's what this tweet says:
NEW: NBC's Pete Williams reports that the e-mails Comey announced today were NOT originally withheld by Clinton or campaign.


Check out all of his tweets for some decent reporting:

Pete Williams has sources saying not about Clinton world w/holding emails. Not about Podesta emails. Not emails from Clinton.

Sam SteinVerified account ‏@samsteinhp 9m9 minutes ago
Pete Williams sources also say it isn't going to be a game changer. But will take more than 11 days

also from Sam Stein:
Pete Williams sources say in course of a separate investigation, FBI came across "a device." found emails there. but emails NOT from HRC

**** LOL not about pete williams, but this is funny from old Jennifer Rubin

[sunonmars]

12. So a big old nothing burger interjecting into the election. Comey should be sacked immediately.

[anneboleyn]

14. Well, nobody in the msm is saying this. Still "FBI reopening probe"
