Must be nice to be so secure in that.....it's not the letter that's of concern.... Nancyswidower Oct 2016 #103

Yes, it was in a letter sent from Comey to Chaffetz' committee jberryhill Oct 2016 #126

The FBI has no business releasing investigative information late in election campaigns bucolic_frolic Oct 2016 #26

It would be illegal for them to not review the new materials Cooley Hurd Oct 2016 #42

So they should review them before they speculate in public about them bucolic_frolic Oct 2016 #44

It would be perfectly legal for them not to publicly announce pnwmom Oct 2016 #46

Did he publicly announce this? hughee99 Oct 2016 #206

Yes. He knew without a doubt that the letter to GOP committee heads pnwmom Oct 2016 #208

He didn't really say who he's investigating here. hughee99 Oct 2016 #209

He's had these emails for FIVE WEEKS. He could have "gotten away" pnwmom Oct 2016 #210

Out of curiosity, what happens if wikileaks drops something on monday revealing some of these emails hughee99 Oct 2016 #212

If that had happened they could point to the FBI manual and historical precedent pnwmom Oct 2016 #213

The FBI could have pointed to their manual and precedent, but the people who haven't decided yet hughee99 Oct 2016 #214

If he waited till after the election, as he should have, pnwmom Oct 2016 #215

I'm thinking that this info was going to come out, maybe from wikileaks, before the election anyway. hughee99 Oct 2016 #216

The FBI was SUPPOSED to say nothing. The FBI manual bars such statements pnwmom Oct 2016 #217

I completely agree he should have written a better statement, but I think maybe he knew something hughee99 Oct 2016 #218
