OCTOBER SURPRISE

Fuck Hillary. Let’s see how her media mouthpiece faux journalist cheerleaders spin this one. Take her away in cuffs. She’s a criminal. The thought of her rotting in prison warms the cockles of my heart.

After being briefed by his investigative team, Comey “agreed that the FBI should take appropriate investigative steps designed to allow investigators to review these emails to determine whether they contain classified information, as well as to asses their importance to our investigation.”  Comey said he could not predict how long it would take the bureau to assess whether the new emails are “significant.”

Moments later, NBC News reported that the agency was reopening the investigation and shared a letter from FBI director James Comey informing key lawmakers of the investigation.. .

“In connection with an unrelated case, the FBI has learned of the existence of emails that appear to be pertinent to the investigation,” Comey wrote.

 

“I am writing to inform you that the investigative team briefed me on this yesterday, and I agreed that the FBI should take appropriate investigative steps designed to allow investigators to review these emails to determine whether they contain classified information,” Comey wrote

More details from CNN which writes that after recommending this year that the Department of Justice not press charges against the Secretary of State, Comey said in the letter to eight congressional committee chairman that “recent developments” urged him to take another look.

“In connection with an unrelated case, the FBI has learned of the existence of emails that appear pertinent to the investigation,” Comey wrote the chairmen. “I am writing to inform you that the investigative team briefed me on this yesterday, and I agreed that the FBI should take appropriate investigative steps designed to allow investigators to review these emails to determine whether they contain classified information, as well as to assess their importance to our investigation.”

Comey said that he was not sure how long the additional review would take and said the FBI “cannot yet assess whether or not this material may be significant.”

Law enforcement sources say the newly discovered emails are not related to WikiLeaks or the Clinton Foundation. They would not describe in further detail the content of the emails. It’s also unclear whether the emails in question are from Clinton herself.

Clinton’s campaign learned of the news while they were aboard a flight to Iowa. “We’re learning about this just like you all are,” a Clinton aide told CNN.

The surprising news jolts a presidential race that had largely settled as Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump struggled in national and key battleground polls. Now, Clinton will be placed back on the defensive and forced to confront yet again questions about her trustworthiness.

*  *  *

As we detailed earlier, in a stunning development moments ago Jason Chaffetz tweeted that the FBI’s probe into Hillary Clinton emails has been reopened: saying that “The FBI has learned of the existence of emails that appear to be pertinent to the investigation.”

No worries. Trump will prevail on Nov.8. 90% have made up their mind, and 40% will have voted early by the 8th. More wikileaks or FBI investigation announcements will not alter the outcome at this point.

I can’t wait to see the faces of the MSM on Nov. 9 when they scratch their heads and ask “What happened?”.

At the 12 minute point when the Bush and Gore contested election is called a spat between two members of the same crime family, his discussion of how we might KNOW if the election has been fixed is so incredibly simple it could work.

Every single trick about manipulating polling data that has recently been exposed to have been suggested by Hillary herself to make the data set close enough to HIDE a stolen election (If Donald’s numbers are as high as the “rough data set” discussed in the video suggest, then it will be a LANDSLIDE and hard to explain. But if you plant the seed in EVERYONE’s little minds that it is too close to call, then rigging the vote count is NO PROBLEM with a compliant media.

Keeping his job isnoutmofnthe question. Too many people are really pissed off about this, to the point where even if he does what the law clearly requires, it’s too late. Even if trump wanted to keep him, which I doubt, millions of his supporters would scream bloody murder.

Rats deserting a sinking ship, perhaps? They can see the writing on the wall, know she isn’t going to win, and trying to save their own asses.

One thing I’d bet on is more trump disclosures. Either another woman or two claiming trump touched a titty 30 years ago, or a new tape where he says something ‘offensive’. Maybe something like ‘nigger’ this time, who knows. But it would be very surprising for the Clinton’s to not have another one up their sleeve. And you just know the media is looking for any excuse to stop talking about killerys new scandal. They’ll jump all over it.

Let’s not jump to conclusions.

– James Croney already threw his lot in with Hillary. For better or worse to his own well-being, he’s now “with her.” It would not make sense to turn on her at this point. He would only go from a corrupt bargain to no man’s land.

– News was released on a Friday afternoon.

– All MSM outlets IMMEDIATELY pick this one up after ignoring everything detrimental to Hillary for the last six months.

My analysis: This looks like pure strategery to me. Still a week and half until the election. Polls/focus groups were showing lingering doubts among a needed slice of voters over the Clinton emails. Plan was hatched. Quick call to Croney who is now firmly on the Clinton Foundation Payroll. Media follows marching orders and plays up how terrible this is for Hillary. Next week, and JUST BEFORE ELECTION DAY, FBI declares it was all smoke and no fire. Media spends last two days before the election shouting from the rooftops how Clinton has been cleared of any wrongdoing TWICE. Takes away any last messages or mega rallies from Trump out of the news cycle. For the next four years we constantly hear how Clinton was cleared multiple times of any wrongdoing.

That and the real tracking polls, the ones already counted, have Trump out in front. Comey is just trying to get in front of the show before the tidal wave of shit arrives. I really don’t think it is going to matter. He is going to be overtaken. Either by Trump or a Nailgun. Neither appealing.

I’m not sure if I even understand the point of this. We know she sent and received classified documents on unsecured servers and transmitted them to unauthorized parties without proper clearances, they admitted that much. It all came down to intent and Comey determined there was nothing there and that no prosecutor would ever bring charges against someone who had no idea that her actions were unlawful. How could additional classified documents in her emails change that regardless of who they were sent to?

You are correct. I read this as a way for every HRC supporter to say “Well, since this is a subject of FBI inquest, all questions and comments about it are premature. Let the process go on.” So Comey and his corrupted crew can essentially put a lid on everything, destroy the stuff that would hurt the HRC campaign, and maybe whack a couple of people. After she is elected, it wall all be moot.

I was disappointed, however, that Hillary didn’t stumble down the plane steps when she went to speak in Iowa right after the announcement, but you can’t have everything.

Her campaign said that their “plane wi-fi was out”, yeah, RIIIIIGGGHHHT.

My take – 1) more to come from Wikileaks
2) classified stuff on Weiner phone = very bad news for Hillary
3) Hillary loses but Obama pardons here as he goes out the door (as he is in this up to his eyeballs as well).

There is a rumor that Hillary has moved $1.8 billion dollars from their fakey foundation to Qatar and one of the palaces has been emptied and readied for a VIP in early November.

I’m guessing that the emails must have had something absolutely unforgiveable like the nuclear launch codes written on Weiner’s dick. I’m also guessing that enough people saw it and it couldn’t be swept under the rug especially now with everyone paying attention.

This is probably the email equivalent of Hillary eating a baby on national television. No one is gonna be able to pretend they didn’t see it. Wikileaks, Guccifer 2.0 & Anonymous must be saving the best stuff for last as well. I can only expect that the most damning stuff is coming up next.

Comey’s letter Friday only said they have discovered additional e-mails that need to be analyzed, and that “the FBI cannot yet assess whether or not this material may be significant”.

In other words, out of an abundance of caution, they are reopening the case should they find a big smoking gun. There may be nothing there, but it’s more likely it’s a nuclear explosion and not just a smoking gun. Some reports are that there is a crisis within the FBI and the lower ranks were going to leak a bombshell and Comey is trying to defuse that.

Those facts are real while I’m standing right in front of them but the next time I see them, if I didn’t remind them of what I’d said it would be as though it had never been said.

Here’s an October Surprise. Obamacare for 2017 plans.
A 54 year old man(not me) non-smoking and making $48,000 per year, meaning NO SUBSIDY, and living in Pinal County, Arizona can go on the exchange and buy the following plans from BCBS only. No other plans available.
1. Bronze $680.66/month $6550 Deductible $6550 Out of Pocket
2. Bronze $797.40/month $6500 D $7150 OOP
3. Silver $964.00/month $6650 D $ 6650 OOP
4. Gold $1178.21/month $1000 D $5500 OOP

The same individual could go to his boss and ask for a $2000 cut in pay and buy the same four plans with regard to Deductibles and Out of Pocket totals and pay the following because of the subsidy he would get.
1. Bronze $87.51/month
2. Bronze $204.85/month
3. Silver $371.45/month
4. Gold $585.66/month.
This would save him $5116 per year AFTER taking the cut in pay. So, he either wins by lowering his pay thus lowering his income and FICA taxes, or he just lies and say his income is not as much as it is. What a country.

Early this year, Gallup polled americans and found that 32% identified themselves as dems, 29% as reps and the rest as independents. Given what we know about the tiny crowds showing up for Clinton and Kaine compared to Trump and Pence it’s hard to argue that there’s more enthusiasm in team blue and that team blue voters are likely to turn out in disproportionate numbers to vote for Clinton-Kaine. In fact, a significant portion of team blue members supported Bernie Sanders and were not much inclined to vote for Hillary after the primary season. Since then they’ve seen Wikileaks revelations that Clinton and the DNC were conspiring to cheat Bernie and that Hillary has a dismissive attitude toward them. None of this tends to support a thesis that there will be big team blue turnout disproportionate to their numbers in the overall electorate.

Polls that I’ve seen by both Investor’s Business Daily and Fox news had very similar results. Within a percentage point or two, they both said that those identifying as dems supported Hillary over Trump by 81-8 percent and that those identifying as reps supported Trump by the same margin, 81-8. Both IBD and Fox polls showed independents and others favoring Trump about 41-30.

Given those consistent percentage support results within each group, it’s really impossible to have Hillary ahead unless you include a disproportionate number of dems in your poll.

A couple other factors at play are that undecideds tend to break for challengers and against incumbents. Clinton is not an incumbent but is completely identified with the status quo to the extent that voting for her is considered a vote to continue things as they are.

Also, as in the “shy Tory” factor in Brexit there’s a good chance of seeing a hidden Trump vote appear. We’ve had unprecedented mainstream media demonization of Trump and implicitly, at the very least, his supporters. In the face of such uniform condemnation, just as pro Brexit voters faced in the U.K., a portion of voters for the position the media are all trying to discourage will be quiet about it, calling themselves undecided or even publicly saying they support the media favored position only to vote their true sentiments. There must be some of that going on here.

Even just taking the IBD and Fox polls and adjusting their composition, to the percentages found by Gallup, you go from 1-4 point leads for Clinton to similar leads for Trump. Add the tendency of undecideds to break for the challenger and the hidden Trump vote and a reasonable assumption might be that Trump is up by 5 or more points right now. Before the FBI reopened its investigation.

I always understood that the undecides break for the incumbent since that is the known quantity and the undecided is not a risk taker or already would have commited to the outside. Does anyone have any 2012 data in this regard?

I have no data but I’ve always heard that it’s the opposite, that undecideds break for the challenger for the reason that they already know the incumbent. If they were okay with that they wouldn’t be undecided. They’ve already resisted casting in their lot with the known quantity and just want to feel that the challenger is a decent enough choice and they’ll go with him.

But, again, I have no data.

If, a big if, there is something here, it isn’t about classified material or such. It will likely be e-mail threads discussing the process of deleting the missing e-mails. One of the questions Clinton and her aides were no doubt asked was whether or not work related e-mails were deleted intentionally. If anything Abedin saved and e-mailed to herself shows that intention, and I am 100% confident they did do that, then Abedin and her e-mail corresponders are in deep shit.

I can see the reasoning some have that this is a Lucy with the Football ploy by the Clinton campaign, but I find it unlikely. You wouldn’t do this with early voting going on, and you wouldn’t do it because it would really hurt the down-ticket even if, just the day before the election Clinton received an all clear. What most likely has happened is that the Abedin material shows a coverup was in operation, and I think it likely that Comey did the only thing he could do to keep it from breaking out into the open in a leak- that was probably communicated to him by his own agents.

This type of analysis that evolves from someone reading one of the posts here and developing some themes and ideas to the next step is exactly why I have been reading TBPer thought processes for years.

100% agree. The commentary on this site is terrifically insightful and often hilarious. Sadly, I’ve been unaware until only relatively recently.
I’ve promoted the site to family members and friends. GO TBP!!

Huma Abedin’s excuse for forwarding state.gov e-mails to here yahoo.com account was that “it was too difficult to print using the state department e-mail system”. How lame is that? She can’t pick up the phone and call state dept. help desk to give a hand? Not believable to me.

Add to that is if they used non-state.gov e-mails for official business, they violated
U.S. records preservation laws for archiving official records (e-mails are official records).
[I realize this is old news on this story, but it bears repeating.]

Are these Clinton aides so incompetent as to not understand the rules on handling sensitive/classified material? Of course they are, so they dug their own graves on this.

I’ve been a gov contractor with a security clearance in the past and we had to take a yearly training course on exactly how to treat these communications, whether it be e-mail, fax, private shipping (FedEx/UPS) and US Post Office. The training includes what the penalties are for not complying.

Looks like another busy weekend for Dr. Feelgood.

I’m not getting my hopes up yet. For the MSM to spend so much time talking about this development makes me wonder how big the news must be that they are suppressing. Plus the usual Late Friday release makes my BS detector jump.

I really hope Comey had to reopen the investigation because he was threatened with an outright mutiny. I would sleep better knowing that at least a few FBI agents are tired of letting such chumps make the entire Bureau look like a bunch of drunken birthday clowns.
