DOJ Promises Lawmakers Quick Response To New Clinton-Related Emails

If there’s a silver lining for Clinton in the FBI’s actions, it’s that her campaign now has a way to convince Democrats who might have considered skipping voting that their nominee needs their support.

And on Monday he hit out saying Clinton had cheated during a primary debate and a town hall broadcast because she had got the questions in advance. It is unclear what is contained in the emails or if any of them was sent or received by Clinton herself.

“I’m not stopping now, we’re just getting warmed up, ” Clinton declared during a packed rally with gay and lesbian supporters in battleground Florida Sunday.

USA intelligence agencies such as the Central Intelligence Agency and the National Security Agency, which generally are barred from investigating or spying on United States citizens, did not investigate Trump or his alleged dealings in Russian Federation, according to three sources familiar with the matter.

The FBI and Justice Department closed that investigation, which looked into whether Clinton and her aides had mishandled classified information, without charges in July.

Donald Trump has launched into the last week before the USA presidential election with a harsh new attack on rival Hillary Clinton.

Comey has, after all, been a Republican for most of his professional life, despite working for and being appointed by a Democratic president.

“Traditionally, you understand, Republicans aren’t quite there, right?” “The trial will probably start”, Trump told a rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

She was introduced at a campaign stop in Kent, Ohio by a former nuclear missile launch officer who helped organize an open letter against the Republican nominee.

Polls began to turn dramatically after FBI Director James Comey’s bombshell announcement Friday that he was re-opening the investigation of Clinton’s use of a private email server while she was secretary of state. The emails-which were uncovered during an unrelated investigation of former NY congressman Anthony Weiner, federal officials told NBC News-came as a huge surprise to the Clinton campaign just 11 days ahead of the general election. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the hackings, which were investigated as counterintelligence cases.

Leaving the American public in suspense days before the November 8 elections is, according to Painter, “a completely unjustified action that can only be used for political objective, and that’s a violation of the Hatch Act”.

Earnest said the president believes it is important for the “norms, traditions and guidelines” surrounding FBI investigations to be followed.

But after Comey’s highly unusual disclosure last week rocked the final days of the presidential campaign, it may prove impossible for Justice to lower the temperature and regain control over how the investigation is conducted and depicted to the public.

Federal authorities in NY and North Carolina are investigating online communications between Weiner and a 15-year-old girl.

The letter did not discuss whether the department officials were on board with Comey’s decision to disclose the revived investigation last Friday.

A political firestorm erupted after Comey told congressional leaders in an October 28 letter that the bureau discovered new e-mails that might be relevant to the agency’s previously completed investigation into Clinton’s e-mail use.

“That this kind of decision was made by the Federal Bureau of Investigation director barely days before the election – this is the kind of thing that happens in banana republics, places where the state apparatus and law enforcement institutions are put to the service of partisan interests”.

He doesn’t believe Comey had any political intent in sending the letter to congressional leaders.

The Washington Examiner said in a Morning Consult poll, 45% of those questioned viewed the email worse than the Watergate Scandal, which involved Richard Nixon and eventually led to his resignation.
