2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumThis has been in my head since Friday. Eric trumps wife
Last week somebody posted a comment from Eric Trump's wife (whatever her name is) that she was gurgling about a really hot bit of scandal about Hillary that was going to really damage her campaign.
I keep wondering if the Comey email leak had already been sent off to Trump? Perhaps by Chaffetz or perhaps by FBI leakers?
Anybody else that paranoid?
I remember the same story

(3,226 posts)So I would not be surprised if it was not leaked to Trump people before they told Comey.
So, the original leak may have come from the trumps? Friends of Weiner.
Fascinating.
Wonder if that is truly where the FBI got their heads up for the investigation.
Something to be looked into.

(1,580 posts)It could be bragging or the Trump may have been warned. Another possibility is that Guilliani had NY FBI buddies who gave him some info. We won't know unless we win so let's work to win. Let"s work to make sure it isn't the game changer that they think it is.

(3,635 posts)which further suggests a conspiracy between the FBI/Comey and the GOP, and a violation of the Hatch Act.
What is upsetting to me is why didn't Dems know about this and get ahead of it? Don't they have their own sources/leakers? According to what I read, this 'surprise' was floating around for awhile now.

(44,974 posts)FBI had Weiner's computer for while. They knew about emails on it. Apparently some FBI agents hate Clintons and weren't happy that Hillary wasn't charged.
