From what I hear these are not even Clintons emails/texts specifically ..Anthony Weiners and his wife Hums Abedin. I'm not expecting any bombshells.

Why does no one seem to understand the phrase "we don't know the significance of these emails yet"? Are you saying he's lying when he says he doesn't know their significance yet? Why would he lie? Why wouldn't he say that they found something significant and need to follow it further? He. doesn't. know. anything. yet.

So your thought is that he would bring this up this close to election without knowing ANYTHING at all? That would be career suicide....I can't imagine the Director of the FBI being THAT stupid.
The devices were being forensically mined as a part of the Weiner investigation. Emails were searched and viewed. Someone on that investigative team brought something to Comey that directly ties to the Clinton server issue.
If you don't believe that then is it your thought that he just made this up and sent the letter in to congress?
The Weiner investigation has been going on for a while....I am sure he has something direct or he would not have taken such dramatic measures.
Comey released this bombshell on a Friday afternoon when no voting polls are open.
His "surprise" took the heat of Loretta Lynch's pleading of the 5th in the Cash to Iran controversy. The public and the media kept laser focus on what Comey did.

If we are lucky, Trump will talk about the Loretta/Iran scandal in his speech and send it across headlines worldwide.

I can't imagine the Lynch stuff not coming back up again. This is just taking the scene. HRC would not have allowed something like this to hit her last minute, unless she just wasn't in the loop on it. From all of the videos of people's reactions it seems genuine that none of them knew.
Lynch will still be in the news, just to a lesser scale now.

The person said investigators are zeroing in on the main offices in New York City. They’ll be helped by various U.S. attorneys, including Preet Bharara, who is stationed out of the Southern District of New York.
Report: FBI Is Now Investigating The Clinton Foundation
Preet Bharara is supposedly involved.
I think that Clinton should be afraid, very afraid
We might actually have some justice.
This is not a room where the sly or evasive can hide, much less morally leukemic billionaires, Chinese gangland shooters, bare-knuckle traders or rainmaking political bosses. All of whom Bharara has indicted, including some members of the Democratic Party that appointed him.
Not that he cares. You know what doesn’t scare him?
“Guys in suits,” he says. “Politicians? Not scary.”
Bharara’s aggressive prosecutions are earning him a reputation as a fiercely effective and limelight-loving figure in an office already legendary as the strongest arm of the Justice Department. “A petulant rooster,” defense attorneys called him in a recent court filing on behalf of an accused inside trader.
...
No target is apparently too big for him.
...
“Everyone should understand that our motivation is always to do the right thing, and we don’t pull our punches, and we don’t care who you are,” Bharara says, unapologetically.
...
“There are too many people who think that if you are powerful and you are rich then you get a bye, and you get treated with kid gloves,” he adds. “That’s not true here, and we work really hard to make sure people know that’s not true.”
...
Since then, he has indicted 17 prominent New York politicians for malfeasance — 10 of them Democrats. In January, he charged Sheldon Silver, the powerful Democratic speaker of the state Assembly, with extortion and bribery.

I think I like this guy
