These emails are not from Hillary or her server...

My own opinion of this begins with that. I can't imagine anything of significance coming out of this thing.

Since they're not from her or from her server...

What's the point? Why go public? Is Comey trying to cover his ass or is he trying to sink the Hillary campaign?

This smacks purely of political partisanship because there is no rhyme or reason for taking this public 11 days before the election. They could have kept this quiet while they checked these emails over. Comey knew exactly what this could potentially do.

The demand for clarification in the Clinton campaign's press release makes it clear they have no idea which or how many emails are involved. So how are we so sure? If they knew they weren't from HRC, wouldn't that have been front-and-center in their statement?

They have to have emails between Huma & Hillary.

Otherwise, why even bring it up 11 days before the election?

appears the Guy is playing his I can make a difference card. The letter is at best misleading by not stating the what where and why. Purely a Political Stunt. Sounds like Chaffetz and Company hassled Comey to release this POS.
