The emails that Donald Trump has claimed will bring down Hillary Clinton are not quite the bombshell that he thinks, reports said Saturday. The revelation about new emails related to Hillary Clinton came out Friday, after FBI Director James Comey sent a letter to Congress on the matter, a move that triggered panic and sent stocks plunging. Trump quickly swept up the story and told supporters the scandal would be “bigger than Watergate.” Yet an official told the Los Angeles Times late Friday that the emails in question weren’t sent to or from Clinton, nor did they contain any new information. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Comey’s letter to Congress was more a formality than anything else. NBC’s Pete Williams later reiterated that, saying FBI sources had told him that not only were the emails not from Clinton, but they had nothing to do with her. Williams also noted that the investigation had not been “reopened,” since the probe had never been closed to begin with “as a purely technical thing.” The content of the emails has not been disclosed.
33,000 emails more than outweighs 8 minutes of tape...
Report: Lynch Advised Comey Against Letter to Congress
Attorney General Loretta Lynch advised FBI Director James Comey against sending a letter to Congress about the review of new Hillary Clinton emails, The New Yorker reported Saturday. Citing an unnamed source in the Obama administration, the report said Lynch urged Comey against taking any actions that might sway the outcome of the Nov. 8 vote, in accordance with a longstanding practice in the department. Comey, however, said he felt “an obligation” to send the letter in light of the fact that he’d earlier testified about the investigation. Comey is now under fire for breaking with the policy of the Justice Department to avoid commenting on investigations involving a presidential candidate when it can be viewed as meddling in the election. One former official told The New Yorker, “You don’t do this. It’s aberrational. It violates decades of practice.” While it’s unclear how Comey’s letter will affect the election, Trump has already seized on the news, reacting with glee on Friday night. He told a crowd of supporters in New Hampshire that the new emails showed Clinton had engaged in corruption “on a scale we have never seen before.”

Even if it is a hit piece, I noticed the left had no problem with 30+ year stories of Trump touching people a month before elections? What do you call that?
And if you say all that was true, well so is this. We all know she did wrongdoing. She used a forensic cleaner on evidence that was subpoenaed.

That’s NOT from an FBI director
Also Trump created that scandal himself.

Hillary created this scandal herself by breaking the law.
