The FBI has reopened its investigation into Hillary Clinton’s secret emails, Director James Comey told Congress in a new letter Friday, heightening the stakes for the Democratic presidential nominee with less than two weeks before Election Day.
Mr. Comey said his agents learned of new emails “pertinent” to their probe while working on an unrelated case. He said his agents need to review those messages to see whether they contain classified information and whether they affect his previous decision.
In July, Mr. Comey announced that while he determined Mrs. Clinton did mishandle classified information, she was too inept to know the risks she was running, so he couldn’t prove she did it intentionally.
The staggering reversal by Mr. Comey comes as Mrs. Clinton is reeling from another electronic scandal — the revelations from emails obtained and posted by WikiLeaks from her campaign chairman, John Podesta.
Republicans in Congress who were told of the FBI’s decision quickly alerted the country.
The announcement threatened to upend the presidential campaign.
“Perhaps, finally, justice will be done,” GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump said at a rally in Manchester, New Hampshire, saying he respected the FBI for reversing itself.
Congressional Republicans, who have been at odds with Mr. Trump on many issues, found common ground with their nominee in attacking Mrs. Clinton.
He is a republican and a good friend of Giuliani who publicly chastised his original decision, and; with 10 days to an election that could dash Giuliani's bid to be Attorney General - no reason to expect any politics going on here.There has to be something very serious in those emails, or Comey wouldnt re-open the case 10 days before election
Only for Weiner, not Clinton.Now the rumor is possible criminal charges coming before Nov. 1st
You don't do this particularly if you are the FBI or the RCMP 11 days before an election unless there really is a 'smoking gun'.All he has actually said is that there's some new emails to look at.
Trump campaign grasping desperately at straws here.
Where do you see that in the article? I don't see anything about before November 1 regarding either one of them.Only for Weiner, not Clinton.

Comey is a Republican. Could just be pre election dirty tricks--announce some inflammatory BS to try and influence the election.You don't do this particularly if you are the FBI or the RCMP 11 days before an election unless there really is a 'smoking gun'.
You really will try to excuse anything if they have - D or - L after their name.Comey is a Republican. Could just be pre election dirty tricks--announce some inflammatory BS to try and influence the election.
