The original buzz was that the Justice Department was going to get involved to expedite the process of looking at these new emails in an attempt to provide a preliminary assessment prior to the election. They even put a buddy of John Podesta in charge of the investigation to make sure that this assessment was the right one (an exonerating nothing to see here folks).
But if initial leaks/reports are correct (and they often times are) there is some pretty incriminating stuff in there. By all serious accounts there are relative emails that are "not" duplicates. Meaning this is new State business emails that are most assuredly part of the 33,000 that were deleted as personal. This and of itself is probably a crime (even if they are not classified, the fact that they were not turned over would be akin to obstruction). Either way, there is no question that there are many who would like to see these new emails, and would like to see them before November 8th. But that is simply not going to happen.
While the suggestion that Anthony Weiner is a cooperating witness regarding all of this has been widely reported, there are now other reports saying that Huma Abedin may also be crossing over and now cooperating with the investigation. If this is the case, then Secretary Clinton has bigger concerns than simply whether or not she wins Florida.
All of this leads me to believe that there will be no preliminary assessment from either the FBI or the Justice Department on this. Rather, they will keep things quiet and hope that the public moves on from this news before next Tuesday.

Rudy Giuliani said Friday that he knew the FBI planned to review more emails tied to Hillary Clinton before a public announcement about the investigation last week, confirming that the agency leaked information to Donald Trump’s presidential campaign.
The former New York City mayor and Trump surrogate has recently dropped a series of hints that he knew in advance that the FBI planned to look at emails potentially connected to Clinton’s private server. The agency discovered the messages while investigating former Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) for allegedly sexting with a minor. (Weiner’s estranged wife, Huma Abedin, is a top aide to Clinton.)
Giuliani has bragged about his close ties to the FBI for months, mentioning in interviews that “outraged FBI agents” have told him they’re frustrated by how the Clinton investigation was handled. And two days before FBI Director James Comey announced that the agency was reviewing the newly uncovered emails, Giuliani teased that Trump’s campaign had “a couple of surprises left.”
“You’ll see, and I think it will be enormously effective,” he said in an interview with Fox News.
All of this has led to suspicion that someone in the FBI is leaking information to Giuliani and the Trump campaign. The Daily Beast’s Wayne Barrett explored those suspicions on Thursday, detailing how Giuliani’s ties to the agency date back to his days as a U.S. attorney in the 1980s.
Giuliani confirmed that notion Friday during an appearance on “Fox & Friends.”
“I did nothing to get it out, I had no role in it,” he said. “Did I hear about it? You’re darn right I heard about it, and I can’t even repeat the language that I heard from the former FBI agents.”
Giuliani also said he expected Comey’s announcement to come weeks before it did.
“I had expected this for the last, honestly, to tell you the truth, I thought it was going to be about three or four weeks ago, because way back in July this started, they kept getting stymied looking for subpoenas, looking for records,” he said.
FBI officials knew about the newly discovered emails weeks before Comey’s announcement, according to multiple reports.
Giuliani insisted he had nothing to do with Comey’s decision to announce the probe prior to Election Day ― a move that both Republicans and Democrats have condemned. He also insisted his information comes from “former FBI agents.”
“I’m real careful not to talk to any on-duty, active FBI agents. I don’t want to put them in a compromising position. But I sure have a lot of friends who are retired FBI agents, close, personal friends,” he said. “All I heard were former FBI agents telling me that there’s a revolution going on inside the FBI and it’s now at a boiling point.”
Trump press secretary Hope Hicks did not immediately return a request for comment.

Hillary Rotten Clinton:
Commanded to have the rouge server set up
Commanded that email be sent to her and from her thru it
Commanded that emails be destroyed using BleachBit
Commanded that 30,000 plus Emails be destroyed
This is of her own doing.
This is a must read post:

You mean she has a server who/that applies rouge to her face?
Plagiarized spam.
No link
Lol. Clinton is desperate to get the spotlight off of her.
And I still hold that there are many secret Trump voters. I say this because I am one. I have every intention of voting Trump but do not say so because i don't want to hear the lies, lectures, insults nasty rhetoric or even violence from the liberal like left.
There are many like me in that regard.
James, thanks for pointing out how immature you are, now how about addressing what she did?
There are many like me in that regard."
I did vote, my wife did the same and my adult son is one too.
We all voted early and for Trump.

Harvard Men are in big trouble, they might even get kicked out of college for being MEN. See the Men's Team has a ranking system to Rank the WOMEN Team members.
Good to see some MEN are Still MEN in the world.
"Harvard University has suspended its men’s soccer team for the remainder of the season because of sexual comments made about members of the women’s soccer team.
University president Drew Faust said in a statement on Thursday night that an investigation into the 2012 team found their “appalling” actions were not isolated to one year or the actions of a few, but appeared to be more widespread across the team and continued through the current season."
Are you fucking Kidding me, is this your America, it sure the fuck'n Hell is not mine.

Trump has closed to even and has moved ahead in many key States, the Rouge Pig is dropping.
I like the Trump Surge.
Obama conceded Thursday during his remarks to a predominantly young audience in South Florida that the presidential election has been so relentlessly caustic, it has turned some voters off...
“You're out there and you're looking it, and you're saying, 'Man, this is really nasty,'” the president conceded.
“It’s tempting to want to not really focus on our government and our politics. But this election is critical. And the good news is, once you get past all the noise and all the distractions, and all the okey-doke, the choice could not be clearer,” he said.
“Donald Trump is uniquely unqualified to be president,” he added. “I’m not just asking you to believe in Hillary’s ability to change things. I’m asking you to believe in your ability to change things.”

When Comey cleared Clinton this July, Kallstrom was on Fox again, declaring: “I’ve talked to about 15 different agents today—both on the job and off the job—who are basically worried about the reputation of the agency they love.” The number grew dramatically by Labor Day weekend when Comey released Clinton’s FBI interview and other documents, and Kallstrom told Kelly he was talking to “50 different people in and out of the agency, retired agents,” all of whom he said were “basically disgusted” by Comey’s latest release.
By Sept. 28, Kallstrom said he’d been contacted by hundreds of people, including “a lot of retired agents and a few on the job,” declaring the agents “involved in this thing feel like they’ve been stabbed in the back.” So, he said, “I think we’re going to see a lot more of the facts come out in the course of the next few months. That’s my prediction.”
Kallstrom, whose exchanges with active agents about particular cases are as contrary to FBI policy as Giuliani’s, formally and passionately endorsed Trump this week on Stuart Varney’s Fox Business show, adding that Clinton is a “pathological liar.”
Now here's where this all gets interesting. Also according to the Daily Beast article, Trump's largest charitable contribution ever was given to a charity which Kallstrom heads -- The Marine Corps Law Foundation.
Kallstrom, who served as a Marine before becoming an agent, didn’t mention that a charity he’d founded decades ago and that’s now called the Marine Corps Law Enforcement Foundation, was the single biggest beneficiary of Trump’s promise to raise millions for veterans when he boycotted the Iowa primary debate. A foundation official said that Trump’s million-dollar donation this May, atop $100,000 that he’d given in March, were the biggest individual grants it had ever received. The Trump Foundation had contributed another $230,000 in prior years and Trump won the organization’s top honor at its annual Waldorf Astoria gala in 2015.
Through this foundation, he is also connected to Rush Limbaugh, who serves on the board of the foundation.

i think the polls are understating Trump support dramatically.
its deeply embarrassing for most rational, clear headed people to admit they want to vote for Trump. He's a sociopathic, racist, misogynist liar. Who would want to freely admit they want him to be president?
when he says 'make america great agin' its very clear one of the disturbing things he means is 'make america white again' and no one except the most racist racist wants to admit they want a racist president.
obviously Hilary is a dreadful candidate too, but her supporters have marginally less to be ashamed of.
so the polls will be undervaluing Trump support.
equally obviously a Trump presidency will be an absolute car crash, most notably for the poorest and most vulnerable americans.
Proof that Hillary violated Federal Election laws in 2008.

How do you support someone who has such obvious contempt for the law, regardless of who her opponent might be?
Perhaps James Marsh Uk has little to worry about.
That car crash harming the poorest and most vulnerable Americans may not be coming.
