Charlz Guybon posted:I would think that if the Clinton campaign had any oppo to drop that they've been holding in reserve, now would be the time. So, I guess they have nothing. Monday might be optimal, if they have a specific thing. Weekend news cycle is a little tricky. That said I doubt they've got anything. Smart strategy now is focusing on GOTV and fighting any suppression.

Oh poo poo, huge find in the latest email trove 
|
I'm very drunk but can I just say how much I loving hate well-poisoning leftists like Michael Tracey who take some sort of smug "BOTH SIDES" position and pretend that electing HRC would be just as bad as Trump and seize upon every little bad Clinton news cycle as if it was the goddamn holy grail? Seriously, when HRC becomes the President-for-life I hope he's the first to be sent to the labor camps okay i'm done have a nice weekend you guys!

Hillary waiting on oppo dump is the smart move. Dropping anything now would make her look worse to most people and more guilty. Remember when pussgate dropped and how wikileaks was ignored when they started dropping emails again for the exact same reason. Anything released now will be ignored and viewed as trying to hide something.

So basically the FBI found an aide's stray .pst file on a computer during a different investigation, then someone said 'we should kick this up to the boss before we look at it' then after telling him instead of him saying 'okay run a difference check and see if there's anything new' he freaked out about testifying under oath and tried to cover his own rear end by squealing to Congress? That seems about the right brand of stupid for this election.

Campaigns like to psyche one another out by pretending they have more dirt than they actually do. Clinton could have more opposition research, but given that we are two weeks out and nothing has dropped, I doubt it.

I figure we'll see an increase in violence against (people who look like) Muslims and maybe Hispanics too. As far as organized militia poo poo goes, though, I doubt we'll see anything more serious than Malheur, and it won't be super widespread.

Seriously, when HRC becomes the President-for-life I hope he's the first to be sent to the labor camps I went to college with Mike Tracey and am still friends with him on Facebook. I didn't realize he was actually getting much traction. He also freelances for The American Conservative. He just got into an argument today on Facebook where people were calling him out for claiming that the FBI "reopened" the case when they had not. He got into a "it depends on what the definition of reopen is" argument and someone called him Bill Clinton and he flipped out. He was much less high strung 10 years ago and a Dennis Kucinich superfan. Leon Trotsky 2012 fucked around with this message at 03:51 on Oct 29, 2016 |

Comey might not be done, but his goose is cooked on this one. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/29/u...v=top-news&_r=0 quote:The reaction was swift and damning, with Mrs. Clinton’s supporters and even some Republicans blasting Mr. Comey. Indeed, Mr. Comey, who was attacked this summer by Democrats and Republicans for both his decision not to bring charges against Mrs. Clinton and for the way he handled it, found himself in an even stronger crossfire on Friday. So it's more or less a botched hit job by a loving idiot.

Considering networks are still covering it and most people have been looking for an excuse to say Hillary is just as bad if not worse than trump, this puts me back at anxiety alert  . Haven't reached  because the senate odds on 538 are back up to 75% chance for flip dem but if it stays in the rounds by Halloween I will be there though

Ogmius815 posted:Please explain why to me. I want to believe you but I'm just so worried. The Right Wing Attack Squad quickly dropped the story with claims that it was actually a double bluff feint to take the heat off Wikileaks. The Press has turned to openly wondering what in the flying gently caress Comey was thinking while acknowledging there's not really anything there at the moment. The Congressional Usual Suspects have pretty much all agreed to quietly let this thing die without any hearings or any more fanfare. The story is moving from Goddamn Clinton Emails to Goddamn Idiot FBI, which undercuts Trump's victory lap and undercuts the FBI's investigation retroactively. Plus people who are actually going to vote have either already voted or are beyond tired of emails bullshit.

Shouldn't it be really easy and fast to see if they already covered these emails or not? Like, if we had some production issue at the democracy plant, my boss would call me and I'd drive in and manually input the specs if I had to for a few hours, but it would be done.

Comey contradicts himself pretty badly by simultaneously saying 'well, I needed to send this letter ASAP so it wouldn't get leaked once I found out about this' and then 'but somehow I already know this is relevant to the case' when it's becoming very clear that it's not.

It's gonna be hella awkward if Comey comes back n Monday, having received a court order, and goes, "Oops, guys, my bad." Feeds into the Republican narrative that the FBI is avoiding real charges and Democratic anger that the FBI wandered into an election without any justification. Comey is not known for carrying about policymaker needs, but it's still a bad miscalculation on his part if they find zero new emails.
