Update, 3:10 p.m.: OK, there's a little more clarity developing here. Here's NBC's Pete Williams (who's been covering the Justice Department for decades and is presumably well-sourced) reporting that senior officials "familiar with the thinking behind [Comey's] letter" say the newly discovered emails in question 1) were not sent by Hillary Clinton, 2) do not appear to have intentionally been withheld from the FBI, 3) were not discovered via the investigation into the John Podesta or Democratic National Committee hacks. Williams adds (in a cautious, hedged manner) that the new development does not appear to be a "game changer."

So—an email relevant to the investigation, but one that wasn't sent by Clinton and wasn't on her server, was discovered in the course of ... something.

1. Kate Snow thinks this is getting worse for HRC

politically. Wiener and his damn dick. (Huma connection.)

2. They can always make things appear worse in the short run.

This was timed precisely to do that.

3. I hang on her every word.

5. kate snow thinks everything makes it worse for HRC

i've watched her a few times and she seems like a republican. she is the one that told howard dean he should apologize for his "trump snorts cocaine" tweet even though it was a joke and she has never said trump needs to apologize for saying way worse.

4. How does this compare with the NYT article…

…quoting a federal official saying the emails numbered "in the thousands" with no way yet of knowing if any were from HRC or pertinent to an investigation?

I want Williams's info to be true -- but, right now, all we've got is a miasma of uncertainty, whose "topline" only helps Drumpf.

6. And that is why it's especially despicable that Comey chose to interfere this way

in the election.
