10:03 pm
you but you will see it tomorrow and know what i'm talking about. the story and how comey unveiled it is stoking political fire. we begin with jim sciutto. >> 11 days until the election, the fbi director informing lawmakers he is revealing new e-mails related to the clinton e-mail investigation. law enforcement officials say the new e-mails were not from clinton but were sent and received by aide huma abedin. they were found on a device shared by abedin and her estranged husband anthony weiner, who's the target of a separate investigation in to elected sexting with a minor. just three months after the fbi recommended closing the probe. in connection with an unrelated case, comey wrote to eight chairman saying the fbi learned of e-mails that appear pert noent the investigation. he continued the fbi will review these e-mails to determine whether they contain classified
10:04 pm
information, as well as to assess their importance to our investigation. i cannot predict how long it will take us to complete this additional work, he wrote. all as of this after comey said clinton had acted carelessly but not criminally. >> in looking back in to our investigation in to the mishandling or removal of classified information, we cannot find a case that would support bringing criminal charges on these facts. >> reporter: in iowa, hillary clinton did not comment on the case until this evening. her campaign arranged a surprise press conference where the democratic nominee turned the tables on the fbi. >> the director himself has said he doesn't know whether the e-mails referenced in his letter are significant or not. i'm confident whatever they are will not change the conclusion reached in july. therefore, it's imperative that the bureau explain this issue in question, whatever it is without
10:05 pm
delay. >> they have discovered new e-mails. >> donald trump, however, pounced at a rally in another battleground, new hampshire. >> hillary clinton's corruption is on a scale we have never seen before. we must not let her take her criminal scheme to the oval office. >> kellyanne conway tweeted a great day in our campaign got better. paul ryan until now locked in a public dispute accused clinton of mishandling the nation's most important secrets, before renewing his call for the director of national intelligence to suspend all classified briefings for secretary clinton until this matter is fully resolved. >> jim sciutto is joining us. what's the next step with the fbi revisiting this
10:06 pm
investigation? >>. >> a long step, multiple steps, anderson. the director is saying he's not certain if the e-mails are significant. our reporting is there are thousands of e-mails. they have to go through those e-mails and look for classified information and make a judgment is that information classified. to do that, they have to consult with multiple intelligence agencies. it's not an exact science. we've seen from the last attempt at doing this there are often disagreements as well. the steps the process will take more than 11 days so past the election, possibly in to a new administration. >> thank you very much. more on the investigation we want to bring in our justice correspondent evan perez. what can you tell us about the timing of comey's statement? >> this puts the fbi in to a bind. they did not want to play a role in this election. that's why they wrapped up the investigation in july. however, when the investigators in to the anthony weiner sexting
10:07 pm
investigation came forward and said, we found thousands of e-mails and they might relate to the clinton e-mail investigation, they immediately stopped work. they brought in the team that had done the server investigation and the fbi director decided there was no way having been so public with his description of what they found, there was no way they could not tell members of congress she's testified for hours before members of congress and telling what he found. he thought there was no way he could keep this. >> even though it was 11 days before the election. does this answer any of the criticized comey in july? a lot of people, you know, at times who criticized him for going as far as he did in july. did this answer the critics or does it sort of -- you can see from trump's reaction he says maybe now the fbi will do this
10:08 pm
fairly. he has been calling comey and the fbi lackeys and corrupt and now democratic senators saying this is appalling. >> and also we have a letter from ron johnson who sent a letter to jim comey saying you owe us more information, as much as possible about this investigation. >> what i don't understand and am trying to wrap my mind around, how did the investigators who did the original investigation, how did they not know about what devices huma abedin had with anthony weiner and if they did how did they not see these e-mails and why didn't abedin turn over these devices and e-mails during the original investigation? it was her responsibility. anyone around clinton's responsibility to come forward. >> i think you heard from hillary clinton she wants answers from the fbi.
10:09 pm
frankly her campaign owes us answers as well. whether abedin knew about these an did not turn them over, what was the order of events? the fbi didn't have possession until they obtained a number of devices as part of the weiner investigation. none of this happens without hillary clinton setting up a private e-mail server. >> she took two or three questions and the final one was have you heard from huma abedin? she totally ignored that. >> huma abedin was on the plane with her today. i mean, you know, really if she wants the answer, she probably
10:10 pm
so thousands of e-mails are going to have to go through with the various intelligence agencies to determine whether or not they're relevant and whether or not they change. >> do you think comey will come forward and say more? >> not before the election. i don't think there is much he can say. they believe they have said as much as they can. >> thanks so much. two views now on the story. joining us now phillip mugg and jeffrey tuban. phil, you say this investigation will take weeks at the very most, so there is no way it could be completed in the next 11 days. you are convinced of that. >> no way. we are talking about a simple question here that is not the right question. was there classified information in these e-mails? there is serious additional questions that the fbi has to answer. for example, once you review these e-mails, you have to interview the people potentially who might have sent them or received them. you want to compare those interviews today in october to what people might have said during the earlier invest in mid-summer and determined whether there is discrepancies. if there are, if somebody said
10:11 pm
something in june, for example, that's different than what they say today, you might want to conduct re-interviews. now you're into december, so i don't think there is any chance that will be completed before december or, b, the fbi director will have enough information to talk to the press about where the investigation is headed. >> can i add one point here? there is a preliminary question that has to be answered is how many of these e-mails are duplicates of e-mails that have been turned over? they just happen to be on a different computer. i don't know, but that's certainly a possibly. and if many or all of them have been turned over previously, have been reviewed by the fbi, well, that certainly takes care of them. if i could just add another point about this business about talking to huma abedin, the worst thing hillary clinton could do tonight is talk to her about this e-mail situation. she would be accused properly, i
10:12 pm
think, of trying to interfere, inject memories, lining up her stories. people do not -- any lawyer would tell hillary clinton, talk to her about anything except this e-mail situation because the fbi is certainly going to want to talk to her again and they don't want hillary clinton, even the possibly that she interfered and tried to get her to say one thing or another. >> interesting. phil, does it make sense -- and there is so much we don't know that it is difficult asking some basic questions, but does it make sense to you that the fbi in their original investigation would not have found these devices if they, in fact, did not find these devices or at least know about these e-mails that were apparently on them? or does it make sense to you that abedin would not have turned over whatever these e-mails were? >> look, anderson, that's a legal question. you ought to be asking jeffrey.
10:13 pm
it makes sense to me depending on what immunity they would be giving to individuals in this case. how much of this information is new, how much we knew before. it's going to take -- if you've got thousands of e-mails, it is going to take a while to determine that. it is also going to take a while, as jim sciutto said, to determine if this information is classified. so it's not clear to me why they didn't uncover this information before. it is clear to me why the fbi close to reopen this investigation. he didn't have an option. somebody walks in his office and says we have additional information. the alternative says we choose not to reopen. i don't think he could have done that. >> i think that's right. he had no option except to pursue this investigation. i would like to correct something about immunity. the only time that comes up is when someone takes the fifth and refuses to cooperate. there is no suggest that she did that.
10:14 pm
i don't think immunity is a relevant question for her. >> phil, you are seeing comey had no choice but to do what he did. do you see a scenario in which he would then come forward, you know, tomorrow or the next day because so many people are saying, look, you got to give more information. we're 11 days before this election? >> boy, i really doubt that for two reasons. first, we have an american citizen in this case being investigated. the fbi decided she would not be charged criminally before. why are we revealing private information about an american citizen before the fbi determines she should be charged? there is a second reason, anderson, and that is as we go forward with this information, there is going to be information day by day. maybe future interviews with individuals. the story might change day by day, week by week. if he gets out there on monday and starts talking about the investigation, what is he
10:15 pm
supposed to do, change the story on wednesday? that is not the way the fbi does business. >> do you agree with that? >> i do. i don't think there is any way he could come out and give piece male updates on this investigation. this is already a very weird and unusual statement in that the fbi has a policy, not a law, but a policy that they are not supposed to make any big announcements within 60 days of elections, even in state situations or local elections. >> where does that come from? i have never heard that before. >> that's a long standing rule. and i certainly was aware of it when i was a prosecutor. is that, if possible, you are not supposed to, as a federal prosecutor, make announcements on the eve of elections. it is just generally not done because they could have such enormous impact. here, i think one of the things that people will be talking about, not for months but for years, is whether comey was
10:16 pm
right to make this announcement now instead of waiting. i can certainly understand his perspective. but i think he would certainly compound the problem by making piecemeal announcements when there is no way you could have a final decision about any criminal conduct in such a short period of time. >> thanks very much. more to talk about ahead. we are going to hear from both campaigns and later how this is being seen in swing states like iowa, where donald trump is. we're waiting for trump. we will be right back. mornin'. hey, do you know when the game starts? 11 hours. oh. well, i'm heading back to my room.

[ indistinct shouting ] is this your chauffeur? what?! no, i was just showing him how easy it is to save with snapshot from progressive. you just plug it in and it gives you a rate based on your driving. does she have insurance for being boring?

10:18 pm
10:19 pm
>> welcome back. if you're the clinton campaign, it is tough to call the day a good one. this evening the campaign tried to redeem it with going on the defensive with fbi director james comey. >> i have now seen director
10:20 pm
comey's letter to congress. we are 11 days out from perhaps the most important national election of our lifetimes. voting is already underway. so the american people deserve to get the full and complete facts immediately. >> of course, hillary clinton earlier this evening. we have two campaign reports. dana bash and jeff. what does secretary clinton have to say at this brief press conference? >> anderson, she called on the fbi director to release all the information, whatever it is, immediately. she acknowledged there were 11 days left in this campaign and she said there simply can't be these questions hanging over it. she did not go beyond that, but then she made a turn to signal that this is really more of the same on e-mails and that's how the campaign hopes to handle this, at least in the short term. to rally democrats and say this is the same old, same old here. she made it clear and pointed out the fbi sent his letter only
10:21 pm
to republicans in congress. that is the signal, to rise up on this and simply cast this as more of the same. but anderson, that is overlooking some questions tonight that her campaign privately is acknowledging. >> yeah. i mean, what -- i know you've probably been talking to sources within the campaign. what worries them the most at this point? >> anderson, talking to a lot of democrats close to the campaign, the thing that worries them the most is that this campaign is ending being about her. the idea from the beginning was that if it ends being about trump, if questions are about donald trump, not her, then that is a winner for her. but if questions are about her, that is an issue. the reason is, anderson, she has very limited credibility on this issue. this has been a very long campaign and e-mails have been the sound track of this campaign going way back to the un back in march of 2015 when she first
10:22 pm
explained this private e-mail server and has gone through so many iterations. and now we're seeing more behind the scenes information because of those wikileaks. what her advisors are worried about the independents and moderates who are not quite sure, but most of all because the questions are about her they believe she is not going to get the benefit of the doubt here from any voters. >> at that press conference, clinton was asked about whether she talked to huma abedin. if abedin was able to give her anymore information. she basically avoided that, avoided answering. >> she avoided it. she did. and she -- look, the reality she was next to huma abedin all day long. she said, look, we don't know if -- she wouldn't acknowledge that it's about huma abedin's e-mails at all. she said we've heard the rumors and seen these rumors. she called on the fbi to release and say what they are looking for. but the reality is most
10:23 pm
democrats believe that is not enough. they can't control what the fbi does, but they can control huma and all the e-mails that she has seen. so they believe they will have to say something more on that. she's her closest confidant and adviser here, so it is unclear if those three questions she took today will solve all this. >> just from a legal standpoint, it would not be wise for hillary clinton to be talking to huma abedin about this. the fbi will probably want to talk to her again. thanks. donald trump is speaking shortly in cedar rapids, iowa. we want to bring it to you as soon as he does. dana bash is there. trump clearly hitting her hard on this issue today. it would be remiss of him not to. what points do you think the trump campaign is looking to emphasize? >> well, look, with any campaign, when something bad happens or something comes out in your opponents campaign that
10:24 pm
feeds into a narrative that is already a winning one, you think, you seize on it. and from the perspective of the trump campaign, there is nothing that is more of a winning argument than any headline that has to do with the fbi e-mails and hillary clinton. and, so, that is why the trump campaign and donald trump himself already has been hitting this hard and we certainly expect him to do so here. but i want to give the flip side of what jeff just said what i have been hearing from the trump campaign, which is he was saying that hillary clinton's people are nervous because the focus is on her and not him. what i heard from trump officials, in fact one senior adviser over the past few weeks talking about the fact they didn't think it was that likely they were going to win, the one break they were hoping to get is if something bad happened to her. there was a bombshell with
10:25 pm
regard to hillary clinton and her actions. whether or not this would be it, that's still to be determined, but they're certainly hoping to seize on it, anderson, any way they can. >> the crowds there tonight are all aware of what's been in the news cycle today. it's got to add a lot of excitement. >> yes. "lock her up" is a chant you hear at every one of these rallies no matter what. there seems to be a renewed enthusiasm for that tonight as they have certainly heard. i was just talking to the crowd earlier, certain they heard the news about this. and hillary clinton earlier when she was talking about this, he mentioned early voting has started in many states. iowa is one of them. they have been voting here since september 29th. this isn't just about whether things can be resolved in the next 11 days. this is about the here and the
10:26 pm
now, which went for barack obama twice and already it was going to go potentially for donald trump. the trump campaign hopes this gives them a leg up. we will bring in donald trump shortly because we expect he will talk about this. >> just a few hours ago, hillary clinton was campaigning at cedar rapids. she held two rallies today. ahead tonight, how the new twist in the e-mails controversy could shift the race. john king with that ahead. remember when you said men are supeyeah...ivers? yeah, then how'd i get this... ...allstate safe driving bonus check? ...only allstate sends you a bonus check for every six months you're accident free. silence. it's good to be in, good hands.

10:29 pm
10:30 pm
>> well, we are waiting and expecting donald trump's reaction any moment now to the breaking news. hillary clinton calling on the fbi to release the full and complete facts about the review of e-mails related to her personal server. her remarks after fbi director james comey said they would be re-investigating. they were sent by huma abedin and shared with disgraced congressman anthony weiner. all of this, how will it shift the election, will it shift the election? polls have been tightening in
10:31 pm
key battlegrounds. john king is joining us now. do we know that? >> reporter: we don't. we should be careful about this. he's just now beginning to recover from that. we woke up this morning looking a happen map like this. this is the important number. we have secretary clinton if you look at the solid democratic states we have her past the finish line. the gold states ares to upstates. if you are donald trump, your task was win nevada, one utah, arizona, ohio, north carolina and florida. in many of these states hillary clinton is ahead or tied with you. in most of these states has a better ground operation than you and much more money than you in the bank. donald trump's task this morning was almost impossible. even if he won all of these gold states, even if he won them all on the board, absolutely no guarantee of this, in fact incredibly hard it wouldn't be enough, even if he won them all. what did he need? he needed a shift in the national dynamic.
10:32 pm
too much to ask in ten or 11 days to change eight or nine states, or to win eight or nine states. six point lead in the national poll. he needs to get it to one or two. if he is down it is conceivable nationally he can win at the state level. watch this. see if it gets closer, number two, the first poll may show a big swing. don't believe it. wait until the second, third and fourth. you could see a swing but the question is does it trickle back. in the a case of the "access hollywood" tape, we were talking about a blowout, it crept back. not fully back. this was a dead heat race a month ago. can donald trump swing it back? and if it does can hillary clinton adapt? >> with 11 days to go. >> the "access hollywood" thing happened a while ago he hasn't recovered but somewhat closer. the question is if there is a big backlash what happens. >> what about state by state. >> we don't know what this will do. you hear republicans saying this
10:33 pm
is a game changer. this will change everything. let's go to the tossup states. one state to watch, georgia. right now a dead heat. why georgia? this is a state that should be in the donald trump bank a long time ago. watch the red states where he is struggling. he cannot afford in the final days of campaign to worry about the republican states. if the polls swing back and locked back to the republican dna trump can stop worrying about that. another place to watch, utah. if you are a conservative about to vote for the third party never trump candidate you thought clinton was going to win in a blowout. you wanted to send trump a message and the republican party a melsage. you didn't think that donald trump belonged. now if this map starts to change. if donald trump gets momentum they have to think do we want to deny him six electoral votes because if the race is tight you may make hillary clinton president. watch utah.
10:34 pm
back to this point. if you go back to where weer with were. this is hard lift. can he get enough of a sweng to pull up everything on the map? if he can win them all he gets close. watch a place like new hampshire or pennsylvania. if donald trump wins thes toups right now he has to turn something on the map that is blue and all of the blue states the light blue states he's done from five to 10 to 12 points can he sweng those that fast? that's the challenge. >> coming back i want to bring in the rest of the panel. maria and bill support hillary clinton. people were talking about
10:35 pm
watergate and some republicans saying this is bigger than watergate. you know a thing or two about watergate. how do you compare? >> watergate was about a criminal president of the united states who presided over a criminal administration from the day he took office until the day he left. this is nonetheless about a hugely serious event in which a secretary of state was clearly reckless, endangered the national security by her handling of e-mails. and one of the things that i think we're looking for that is suggested, perhaps and they don't want to speculate too much, is that some of these e-mails may be from huma abedin to hillary clinton and perhaps, is it possible that the so-called missing e-mails from hillary clinton's server, those that she said were personal, is it possible that some of these e-mails were work related. that might be suggested in this, but you don't want to be too speculative.
10:36 pm
>> right. we don't know the content of these e-mails. we don't know if all the e-mails they found were duplicates of what they have already seen. >> exactly. we don't know if it's on huma's computer, whether she took some stuff from work and sent it home. >> which she should have told the fbi investigators she had done that because she had a problem printing stuff in her office. >> so we don't know. and what we do know is that the fbi hasn't reviewed all of these e-mails yet. there is a significant number. we're not sure how many. they haven't reviewed them yet, which is why comey said they can't assess whether or not this material may be significant. what comey didn't tell us was that it wasn't hillary clinton's e-mails. it was somebody else's e-mails. and i think that's what the clinton campaign right now is fuming about. >> david, our political director, can you assess the political impact of this? >> i don't think we can assess yet. except we can assess this.
10:37 pm
this is not how the clinton campaign wanted to close out. and it is something that gives them a real life force to the trump troops. this is -- trump campaign has been -- >> not only trump, but all republicans. >> without a doubt. i think it may be more beneficial impact down ballot but for donald trump himself and his whole operation, just think about they just got this huge ability to have something to go out every day and rail against that is fresh in the headlines they can dominate and keep the conversation on. this is precisely how they want to close out. >> every time he has had that opportunity in the past, something has come up. either his lack of discipline as a personal candidate or the "access hollywood" or something else. so let's see this is the campaign that denies all rules, all logic, all history. it's just a remarkable one. but to david's point, hillary clinton has run -- she is not the best candidate. she has many flaws. she is not a great political performer if you will.
10:38 pm
she also has many skills, but they have made this campaign about donald trump, which is masterful because this campaign should be about do you leave the democrats in power. that's what it normally would be about. the clinton campaign has made it about donald trump. >> we're going to take a break, but very quickly i learned something from you in the last hour and i want to have our viewers learn this. just in terms of who the clinton campaign with all their access to data, who they try to get out first in early voting and why maybe this might not have as big an impact. >> big data has fundamentally changed how this works. you don't knock on doors anymore. they have a database. the first people you try to turn out is people who used to support donald trump, who pulled away from him for whatever reason. maybe for the access hollywood tape. you have a database, you know she used to be a trump voter. she's now for clinton. on the first day of early voting
10:39 pm
you grab her by the ear and get her to vote. >> so somebody who is a die hard hillary clinton supporter, they're not as concerned. >> they want you to vote early, but they're the last person you worry about. >> so the test of their data operation, how many of these people did you turn out already. and now it is a best of the trump organization because those records are all public. they know he used to be for trump. he was going to vote for clinton. he hasn't voted yet. let's see if we can get him back. >> can you imagine if there was another republican candidate that hillary clinton was running against? >> a lot of people have imagined that. >> i think a lot of people have imagined that. we're going to take a quick break. we have been waiting to hear from donald trump who is now said to be minutes away. we will continue our conversation after break. >> again, we are waiting to hear from donald trump, expected very with my moderate to severe crohn's disease,... ...i was always searching for ways to manage my symptoms. i thought i had it covered. then i realized managing was all i was doing. when i finally told my doctor,
10:40 pm
he said humira was for people like me who have tried other medications,... but still experience the symptoms of moderate to severe crohn's disease. in clinical studies, the majority of patients on humira saw significant symptom relief... ...and many achieved remission. humira can lower your ability to fight infections... ...including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers,... including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions,... ...and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb,... ...hepatitis b, are prone to infections, ...or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. if you're still just managing your symptoms, ask your gastroenterologist about humira. with humira, remission is possible. for patients like lynn, advanced genomic testing may lead to other treatment options that can work. learn how genomic testing is changing the way we fight cancer at cancercenter.com/genomics

10:43 pm
we are waiting to hear from donald trump expected shortly in cedar rapids, iowa. michael flynn on the stage. big trump supporter. heard from him at the convention and a number of events. we want to turn to trump and clinton supporters. this is a big day for you. >> it is because hillary clinton's mo was typically this is a vs. right-wing son spirsy. that's what she did with the benghazi hearings. this is straight from the fbi, no republican involvement and that makes it significant. for those wants to blame jim comey or the fbi, back up for a moment and ask yourself, we wouldn't be here today if hillary clinton had abided by the rules.
10:44 pm
we would not be here today if she didn't delete 30,000 nonwork-related e-mails. we wouldn't be here if she handled government with integrity. integrity and acted like a public servant. we wouldn't be here today if not for hillary clinton's actions. >> john is making the point they are not re-opening the case, which i know all the clinton supporters were urging to get in there. also, we might not be here today if hillary clinton and some of the people around her had cooperated in a timely manner opposed to some of the difficulties -- they had in actually going to -- donald trump is taking the stage. looks like he's going to be joining the crowd. we will bring it to you as soon as he starts. but that's a point some are making. this thing got pushed back because there wasn't a lot of cooperation early on. >> the point i would make, we
10:45 pm
wouldn't be here today if james comey did his job. how irresponsibility it is on the part of james comey. it was reported early, huma abedin told him there were other e-mails on other servers. what did the fbi do? they let it go? he drops a stink bomb. >> let's listen to donald trump. >> he loves iowa. and so do i. thank you, dan. you are out here. where's dan? thank you, dan. so nice. thank you. i love you, too. i love you, too. >> as you heard earlier today

the fbi after discovering new e-mail is reopening their investigation in to hillary clinton. [ chanting "lock her up" ] >> the investigation is the biggest political scandal since watergate and it's everybody's hope that justice at last can be delivered. in a very brief remarks tonight, hillary clinton tried to politicize this investigation by attacking and falsely accusing
10:47 pm
the fbi director of only sending the letter to republicans, another clinton lie. as it turned out, the letter was sent to both republican and democratic leaders in congress. the fbi would never have reopened this case, at this time, unless it were a most egregious criminal offense. as you know, i have had plenty of words about the fbi lately, but i give them great credit for having the courage to right this horrible wrong. justice will prevail. prior to today's events i was
10:48 pm
going to start off this speech by talking how great we have been doing in the polls. we have been running an issue-based campaign, focused on change, accountability and, of course, repealing and replacing obamacare. we're campaigning all over the country with a plan to bring back our jobs and provide safety for our families. in recent days, remington polls, which is highly respected, showed us surging four points ahead in ohio. going three points ahead in north carolina. we're up, according to bloomberg at least two points in florida.
10:49 pm
and, by the way, the people standing in lines in and so many other places are unbelievable. early voting states. a lot of them have red hats, they have white hats. they have pins, they have shirts that happen to say "make america great again." and for the most part these are people voting for trump, right? for the most part. they have the whole deal and plenty of buttons. we've got their vote but the lines have been incredible all over the country. thank you. we pulled ahead nationally in numerous polls, and this was all before this recent disaster for her, but justice for the country occurred.
10:50 pm
we had gaps but we are really moving. i want to say that because i don't know what will happen now. by the way, speaking of iowa, and speaking of polls, the des moines register, not my favorite paper, has us up four points in iowa. in 11 days we are going to win the state of iowa and we are going to win back the white house. >> it looks like donald trump has moved off the topic on hillary clinton, which is really what we were looking to hear. do you think -- were you surprised he didn't kind of make more of it tonight? he earlier did and certainly has -- there's a lot of enthusiasm in that crowd about it. >> no, because i don't think he wants to over reach. that's something the clinton campaign has had a problem with. they overreach and their arguments sound quite silly. he made the point, twice today, you're going to hear this repeatedly succinct and he's
10:51 pm
not going to overreach, he is going to let the fib let that play out by itself. >> there is a danger too much and he becomes president and that impacts the investigation. >> both candidates tonight have said things they should not have said. >> how so? >> hillary clinton said they only sent this letter to republicans. that's simply not true. they sent the letter to the chairman of the committee, republicans, because republicans controlled the house and the september, and cc'd the republicans and they all get it. >> yes, they all got the e-mail. it is just simply not true and it's an attempt to play to the partisan ship. to say they only sent this to the republicans. it is not true. donald trump could be the president elected in a few days. he should not be telling the fbi how to finish its investigation. he should be saying i'm glad they reopened it of that's fine. he is going to benefit from this anyway. but saying justice is going to be served.
10:52 pm
it used to be rigged but right now it's fine, he's saying i'm going to be president and this -- that is kind of nixonian cards at the table. he should be more careful. he's going to get political benefit any way. if he's going to be president of the united states, you can't be prejudging investigations. >> i do agree with something donald trump said tonight and that is justice will prevail and i think justice will prevail and to quote hillary clinton there, there's not going to be any their there, and repeating that i think in terms of what the facts are. this is not a reopening of the case number one, and number two, none of the e-mails came from clinton's e-mail server, none of this -- we don't even know if any of this contains classified material. we don't know if any of this is significant and if they have seen these, they have actually had to look at some of this and if they don't know if it contains classified material, isn't it supposed to have the big heading that says "classified?" >> no. >> yeah, they said if it is marked classified, it should
10:53 pm
have a big old heading. >> it could be -- >> we don't have the information. >> it doesn't have to be classified material, it could be criminating e-mails, not just classified material, in which somebody is discussing something which is incriminating. >> we don't know. >> before i was rudely interrupted by donald trump, the point i was trying to make is now having dropped the stink bomb, i think james comey has to -- i disagree with jeffrey toobin. he has to let it all out there. how dare he say this is not significant. we're talking about president of the united states. you cannot have this cloud hanging over the election for 11 days. if i could just say put it out there and let the voters decide. >> he told congressional committees when he testified that if there were any changes in his investigation, he would notify them and that is exactly -- we were talking about it earlier. that is exactly what happened today. however, i agree with you in the sense that he didn't say that -- he said we don't know if this is
10:54 pm
going to be significant or not, but he didn't say why. he didn't say this was huma abedin's computer, and he didn't say these are not hillary clinton e-mails. he didn't -- he didn't put enough meat on the bones and therefore the speculation of course runs rampant 11 days before the election. >> because, carl, it does feed into -- i hate the word "narrative." it's overused, and you used that in your biography. >> i was going to say just that. this goes to the picture of the clintons and hillary clinton and a circus anthony weiner sexting, her e-mails, all in this one sordid pot. we're back in the swamp. and that's what donald trump can play off of here. on top of which it seems to be that it would -- >> it also reminds people -- >> yes. >> -- this is what it's going to be for four years if she gets into the white house. >> that's exactly the point, oh, the circus again. we had this before and here we
10:55 pm
go again, and we're not even in the white house. and this is something that can go to those voters who might go for the gary johnson possible. they might say, i don't want to vote for hillary clinton with this. >> most of -- most of the people who think what you just said were never going to vote for hillary any way. so i believe -- >> i'm not sure. >> -- this has been -- for the majority of the american people, this has been baked in. >> i do think for millennial voters who didn't have that experience in '90s suddenly getting a first glimpse, wait a minute, this is a reminder. >> millennial are looking, okay, she was secretary of state, we had benghazi, the deleted e-mails, taking a hammer to the devices. fine look at her campaign. what did she do with the campaign? it looks like the same type of if you want to use the word corruption, hiding, not being trustworthy. this is the experience with hillary clinton.
10:56 pm
that's all you see and you want that person to go to the white house. that's what's over her head. >> no. >> this is huma -- >> go ahead. >> this is huma abedin's machine, okay, or her device. it is not hill -- wait a minute i listened to you. >> it is not hillary clinton. >> that's right. >> a.p. reported she sent none of these e-mails. we know nothing about -- you're just jumping to conclusions. >> we've got to take a break. i want to thank everybody on the panel. be right back. and can you explain to me why you recommend synthetic over cedar? "super food"? is that a real thing? it's a great school, but is it the right the one for her? is this really any better than the one you got last year? if we consolidate suppliers what's the savings there? so should we go with the 467 horsepower? or is a 423 enough? good question. you ask a lot of good questions... i think we should move you into our new fund. ok. sure. but are you asking enough about how your wealth is managed? wealth management, at charles schwab.
