either show us the goods and tell us what's in these emails if it's so terrible, or this is nothing more than a political stunt.
if the fbi refuses to do an immediate speedy and thorough investigation before election day then it tells me there's nothing there and they are just trying to influence the election.

Matthew Miller, a former Justice Department spokesman in the Obama administration, said the FBI rarely releases information about ongoing criminal investigations and does not release information about federal investigations this close to political elections.
Comeys behavior in this case from the beginning has been designed to protect his reputation for independence no matter the consequences to the public, to people under investigation or to the FBIs own integrity, Miller said.
Miller and other former officials pointed to a 2012 Justice Department memo saying that all employees have the responsibility to enforce the law in a neutral and impartial manner, which is particularly important in an election year.
Miller said he had been involved in cases related to elected officials in which the FBI waited until several days after an election to send subpoenas. They know that if they even send a subpoena, let alone announce an investigation, that might leak and it might become public and it would unfairly influence the election when voters have no way to interpret the information, Miller said.
