now jim comey does this. have people in justice department saying, you know what, this is not standard. we're not supposed to get involved in politics. we're not supposed to politicize the fbi. 11 days before an election, that's obviously politics. >> he said if he found evidence, he would bring it forward. >> this is an intervention of a major sort that has definitely disrupted this political cycle. >> what's his reasoning to do it? >> that's what the president is saying. you sound like president obama. the fact is that he did it. that's not standard operating procedure. by the way, kimberly said that loretta lynch, the attorney general ordered him. she didn't order anybody. people think she didn't order because she feared he might resign. if he re have been a bigger bombshell. >> he's always threatening to resign. >> republicans shouldn't have complained about comey back in july. democrats shouldn't be complaining about him now. even just politically, it doesn't make sense. republicans had enough. comey --

but let's kind of stay with this jim comey thing. do you think, and there's, you know, everybody feels different way that comey's going to be forced to say something? >> i do. i do. i mean, i think james comey decided back in july when he couldn't indict her in a court of law and he didn't have the evidence to do it, that he decided to indict her in the court of public opinion. and we've seen that every step of the way up through friday. and that's really shameful. he's broken every single policy, procedure, and rule associated with this investigation and elections and everything else we've seen because he decided to do that press availability back in july. and he's dug himself a hole deeper every day. >> i take issue with that mary-ann, the attorney general left it up to james comey. because she messed up on the tarmac meeting with bill clinton. so she said she was going to leave it in his hands. and what he did was he came out and did what the attorney general, his boss asked him to do. and by the way, you know, he just laid out wha

but let's kind of stay with this jim comey thing. d there's, you know, everybody feels different way that comey's going to be forced to say something? >> i do. i do. i mean, i think james comey decided back in july when he couldn't indict her in a court of law and he didn't have the evidence to do it, that he decided to indict her in the court of public opinion. and we've seen that every step of the way up through friday. and that's really shameful. he's broken every single policy, procedure, and rule associated with this investigation and elections and everything else we've seen because he decided to do that press availability back in july. and he's dug himself a hole deeper every day. >> i take issue with that mary-ann, the attorney general left it up to james comey. because she messed up on the tarmac meeting with bill clinton. so she said she was going to leave it in his hands. and what he did was he came out and did what the attorney general, his boss asked him to do. and by the way, you know, he just laid out what the facts were

jim comey was facing, and in fairness to the governor who has his finger on the pulse here, jim comey fbi agents and retired fbi agents, not because he was sitting on evidence about hillary clinton, but because of the damnable decision he made on july 5, not to prosecute her when the evidence of her guilt at that time was overwhelming. bill: 30 minutes ago karl rove says he was wrong in july and wrong now? one more point. >> one point you have not given enough weight to. that is the fact, this made it very clear that huma abedin lied when she said there were no emails on other devices. and i, if i were in the director's chair i would say, oh, my gosh, that is a clue to the depth of the climate of corruption that goes across this thing. i think he had to put it in a proper context to people he had reported to, namely the american public and the congress. >> well he reports to the justice department, not to the congress. >> but he had reported to the public. >> i haven't seen the affidavit that the fbi presented to federal judge to get him or her sign a search want. i'm guessing it woul

i'm wondering whether or not jim comey becomes part of this campaign. it doesn't seem barack obama is in an advantageous position. comey seems to be fixed in place because who wants to touch that at this moment. does this become an issue? >> he's already done that. i think it would be very dangerous for hillary clinton to suggest she's going to remove fbi director during the campaign of afterward. that's probably more trouble than it's swort my suspicion. i would be surprised if she said something like that. hillary clinton is going to arizona, a state republicans always win. that's what i'm looking for as a result of this fbi discussion. hillary looking at winning maybe georgia, arizona, north carolina, probably still a win. can she get the big victory that looked like she was going to get that drags in senators and maybe some house members too. i they's the big question now. she was at a high point a week ago. i wonder if she can get back by election day. the alaska roll, is it a reuters poll? it's a snaul entity. we probably don't know much about them

i'm a big fan of jim comey. he -- the famous incident with ashcroft, interfering with card and gonsales, made him legendary in the world of folks in washington who care about fair justice and standup guys, and then i thought what he did this summer was good. thought this side bar about the secretary was wrong, but i overlook that because i thought he was put in a difficult position because he had to made the decision whether to indict or not indict, but getting involved this -- >> you're talking about loretta lynch, the attorney general -- >> excuse me. right. >> go ahead. >> and getting involved in the election this close, is just wrong. there have been bipartisan groups of former prosecutors, number two people at justice under clinton and number two at justice under bush, have -- the "washington post" wind --eder toal said it was wrong, and called on justice to -- >> would you feel that with a if he made it july 5th decision, congressman, on friday? you don't get involve in the elects. it's as 11 days is just

jim comey's press conference. she didn't commit a crime. not grossly negligent, the standard under the statute. she was reckless, this is hillary clinton. that's the mistake that he made at that time which i think he is now trying to collect. the mountain of evidence sufficient to indict, prosecute and convict on july 5 was overwhelming. he discounted it. harris: okay but, go ahead. melissa: bringing back to trump's strategy and i was on duty at this and probably watched the emails and trump more than anything else. he was right to hit on it but went to obamacare. that was number one thing he spent most time this weekend goes along with kellyanne's strategy. for a lot of americans, that is what matters to them. they're opening up the bill and seeing the premiums have jumping to $1300 a month, all the numbers they can't afford. very nicely you're talking about whether or not she can be trusted but i have got bills to pay. i can't pay them. obamacare is disaster. kennedy: that is smart pivot for them. the thing that influences people for unde

i'm not one praising jim comey whatsoever. my guess is there's people inside the fbi that's pretty unhappy with them. >> what do you think is the trigger, senator, for him to change course and send this letter to congress? because we know that loretta lynch tried to stop him from doing so. then i want to ask you about this yahoo! account. you are the chairman of the senate homeland security and government affairs committee and have you to have an opinion about the fact that katherine harris just reported huma abedin was basically sending her security e-mails to her yahoo! account because she said it was easier to print them from her yahoo! account. who knows what she sent to that yahoo! account. let me get your take first on that. what do you think changed course here for jim comey? >> again, i can only speculate maybe pressure inside the fbi. now you're talking about mishandling of highly sensitive national security information and that's exactly what secretary clinton did as well. the fact of the matter is we are not engaged

now jim comey's trying to deal with this mess. i think that you have gotten to the point where the clinton campaign has to believe director comey would not have done this unless his agents, his investigative team had come in and put something on his desk and said sir, this is very serious, we are going to have to deal with this. comey has recognized it as such. but at this point, i don't think he can just walk out in public and dump it into the election. he's got to go through a process. comey has been playing by his own book here since july and i think it's probably time if i were advising him to impanel a grand jury and let the chips fall where they may. >> i imagine that is what he will do. he's been under tremendous amount of heat within the agency. there's been a lot of people in the agency who were very unhappy with the way this was handled. they believed the evidence that came forth in the initial investigation did point in the direction of an indictment. now he has an opportunity based on this information that was put on hi

jim comey did not tell her to use a prooivate server. he didn't say you neither sent or received classified information. senator reid is a political hat. jim comey is a law enforcement officer. he's not a republican or democrat. i've had my differences with him in the past, but he's not a political hack like senator reid is. >> what do you think happens here? >> i think fbi will run this ou. i hope if it were hillary smith or hillary jones and they're not going to be on compressed time schedule. i get that there's an election coming up in a week but there's a republic i would like to see last a little longer than that. we have to have confidence in the fbi and the department of justice. keep in mind it was not jim comey who met on the tarmac with the spouse of the target of the investigation. it was president obama who pre-judged the outcome of this while the investigation was ongoing fp if harry reid wants to write laeter, tell him to write loretta lynch and president obama be. >> is there anything preventing hillary clinton from reachi

you have jim comey breaking precedent twice. is you have a a law enforcement official choosing not to indict. and then now you have something dropping something 11 days out. which is also unprecedented. happens to be fact. without also providing any explanation what the relevance is. >> it is also very rare that -- is part of the campaign. -- >> oh my gosh. >> up next. apparently president obama and other democrats could not care less hillary is under investigation. they are not bothered at all. should they consider asking her to step aside? that is the question. a rhetorical one next. boost it's about moving forward not back. it's looking up not down. it's feeling up thinking up living up. it's being in motion... in body in spirit in the now. boost. it's not just nutrition, it's intelligent nutrition. with 26 vitamins and minerals and 10 grams of protein. all in 3 delicious flavors. it's choosing to go in one direction... up. boost. be up for it. for a drum line to perfecttion its routine. practice rocket mortgage by quicken lo

and the cell phone they got early october, and if comey had not gone public, had not written this letter to leaders of congress, isn't it possible, jim, that one of the investigatory agents on the case could have leaked it to the press and we'd be singing a much different tune which is, comey and the fbi would be painted as covering something up. >> first of all, he doesn't really know what he has. before he starts saying things officially from the fbi, he should make sure he knows what it is he has. if the only reason for him speaking is that he's afraid that somebody within the fbi is anonymously going to leak information, that's not a good enough information. he's the head of the fbi. he should say, that's not what the fbi does. when we speak, we speak formally through the director. >> jim, you know, as folks are pouncing on comey, let's talk about the original sins. one, hillary clinton over and over admitting it was a mistake, her use of a private e-mail server as secretary of state. two, that tarmac chat between the a.g., loretta lynch, and bill clinton, all the while his wife are being investigated, aren't those the ones that

jim comey himself said it wasn't even close and she accepted that result. >> all right. ar whether director james comey will provide details about the clinton-related e-mails. in the meantime, the clinton campaign is trying to clear the air. just hours ago, the clinton campaign put out this video message. here's a portion. >> let's walk through what we know. republicans said at the beginning of this that the fbi case that was closed in july has been reopened but that's been debunked and law enforcement sources say it was never withheld by hillary clinton or the clinton campaign. reports say that the e-mails were not to or from clinton. it's entirely possible they are duplicates of the e-mails looked at months ago. you're probably confused as much as we are. this has violated protocols as influencing the election. >> so let's talk more about all of this. ryan lizza is with us. he's also the washington correspondent for "the new yorker." also joining me is lynn sweet, good to see you again. ryan, you first. we know that a search warrant has not yet been issued for these e-m

astonishes and perplexed. >> and eric holder wrote a scathing op-ed in "the washington post," about jim comey. saying he is a good man but he made a serious mistake. former attorney general said that comey broke the fundamental principles and fear he may have undercut trust of the fbi. it's uncertainty that he has created before election day. not for the sake of a political candidate or campaign, but in order to protect our system of justice. hi said, i served with jim comey. he is a man of integrity, honor. i respect him. but good men make mistakes. in this instance, he has made an error with severe implications. really interesting to hear something that detailed and that scathing from the former fbi director. a lot of people up in arms. >>> harry reid is accusing the fbi director of breaking the law. reid has written a congressional committee chair saying that comey's 11th our regulation, may violate the hatch act. that bars government officials from engaging in political activity. you can't be a member of congress and do fund-raising calls from our office. that's a violation of the hatch a

it's not so much calling into question jim comey's integrity. it's listening to jim comey's own statement after he decided not to move forward with prosecuting hillary clinton the first time where he seemed to have almost buyer's remorse almost immediately when he said in congressional testimony, while she didn't have one device, she had 13, she had a server that she was not supposed to have, she destroyed evidence. we know that they smashed the phone devices with hammers. she did have national security info. she did have classified confidential information. everything she said by and large in the five or six points he laid out were not true. >> he chose not to prosecute her saying there was no precedent, no rational prosecutor could bring the case, then donald trump called for an investigation of that investigation and has repeatedly said that there was collusion there, that it was corrupt and rigged, not just that it was a poor judgment. seems to me an important distinction whether someone makes a bad faith corrupt judgment or a good faith det

jim comey understands the ramifications of what he is doing. has to be something there that he thinks is important enough that it should be made known to the committee chairman and the american public. if it was extraneous e-mail that had no relation at all, i don't think he would have, whether it is significant legally, we will find out. it is significant farce what he believes the american voters should know at this time. let's listen to what kellyanne conway said last night about this. >> we heard secretary clinton press her case on saying she wants more information from the fbi saying the american people deserve to get the full and complete facts immediately. do you agree with that? do you think voters are entitled for more information? >> yes, i am for full disclosure and immediacy and honesty. >> she wants this, the same thing that clinton's team wants. why don't you want that? >> this is a criminal investigation. you can't be telling the fbi how to run the criminal investigation. i have great regard for kellyanne conway. there could be o

jim comey's original presentation was a departure from procedure. felt he had to complete it. is he going to give another half briefing after that because of the blow back to the blow back? it's possible. all of it would be unusual. whether it is unusual bad let alone unusual criminal or just unusual because of all the pressure and scrutiny he's under from his agency and as well as the political climate, we just don't know. i think based on what we know, it's unlikely that there's information that would change the legal conclusions. that's why people are so upset, but we don't know. >> msnbc chief legal correspondent, thank you. we'll be right back. you wanna see methg intense? pantene expert gives you the mosteautiful hair ever, with our strongest pro-v formula ever. rong is beautiful. sharing a ten by ten room,ng threestruggling.nding, i rent this place and then i started home sharing. my roommates help out all the time. they are glad to meet the guests and that opportunity that airbnb has given me is such a priceless gift. i was able to take thre

i know jim comey the director of the fbi. that guy is an american hero. by the way, he's a republican. and jim comey, who if he's anything, he is dedicated to the law, as director of fbi. and he is very, very careful. i work with him all the time on the permanent select committee on intelligence. and for the trump campaign to say that somehow jim comey, one of the most dignified and thoughtful senior officials we have, that he made some egregious mistake, when he didn't, is -- is besmirching a man of real integrity. >> you think that loretta lynch or whoever made the call to have comey say there's no prosecutable case did him a disservice? that's usually what the a.g. would say. the fbi would come, present the evidence, to the doj, the you know the attorney general, the department of justice, and then they would say, there's either a case or there isn't. here, comey apparently did both jobs outwardly appearing. you think that did him a disservice? >> well, you know, it certainly put him in the firing line. and as you know, chris, there were things that we

first of all, do you think that jim comey was basically duty bound to send that letter even though it was not the normal policy? >> no, not at all. i think jim comey made the first of many mistakes in july when he held his press conference and went way beyond the bounds of what fbi agents or prosecutors usually say when closing a case. he made a series of mistakes following that. and they culminated with this really bad mistake on friday. >> so let me focus on that. if you hold the view that the letter was unnecessary or i ill-advis ill-advised, then let's go to what is in the letter and what's not. putting aside whether it should have been sent, if you ear going to send a letter like this, do you think he struck the right balance and context in what he did tell congress? >> you know, it's a hard question to answer because i think he never should have sent the letter in the first place. i'm sure there would have been a better way to write the letter to make clear they haven't even looked at these e-mails yet, don't know if they're from secretary clinton, they don't know if they're dup

because one minute, depending on what side of the political spectrum you're on, jim comey is a hero. the next minute he's a fool and vice versa. either the media endorsing his opinion not to prosecute hillary clinton or attacking him -- it goes so many different ways. look, this is a donald rules feld mome-- rumsfeld moment. there's a speeded up media cycle where we have to act instantly. it was imperative for the media to react to this. it's also imperative for us to then pull the lens back and figure out what we know and do not know. >> let me ask you to react to that. it does reek of hip rockacy. blasting not to pursue charges in the original case and now praising them as this fine public servant. partisan? >> partisan, but that's politics. the media has a responsibility to cover this truthfully and honestly. right now it just seems like they are just taking the clinton line that this is all rigged and doj is in for it for themselves. they attacked donald trump on those same lines for saying, oh, the election can be rigged. how that's a threat to democracy yet running headlines to

jim comey himself said it wasn't even close and she accepted that result. >> one of the things that's interesting and one of the things that democrats in washington, d.c., are debating, is whether or not hillary clinton has actually learned from this experience when it comes to people in her circle who enable bad decisions by the clintons, and i am not necessarily including you in this group, but people inside her circle such as you and robi mook, people kind of a more new guard even if you have a longstanding relationship with the clintons were stunned when word of the private email server was first reported by the "new york times" in march of 2015 according to those stolen emails published by wikileaks. i know you say this is the russians trying to influence the election but regardless of that -- >> it's not me saying it. it's a lot of people saying that including the government. >> intelligence professionals say that. be that as it may you wrote to robbie mook 2013 "did you have any idea of the depth of this story." a clinton ally co-chairing your transition "why didn't they get th

which did not happen because of way jim comey conducted the investigation. you could see why he would be willing to trade, for the declassification or unclassification of a secret e-mail. charles: doesn't this plow a hole in a premise that hillary clinton did not understand the e-mail markings, and role of this administration. trying to help her cover it up? >> i think this dan ministration has a lot more explaining to do. i believe a special prosecutor should be appointed to investigate this. we were told by loretta lynch and others, you see someone like kennedy a political appointee trying to reduce the legal exposure from hillary clinton and others. charles: matthew, if an agent is offer a bribe, don't they send this up the chain of command. in particular if it came from the state department, make it to james comey? >> you would expect, if someone was offered something in exchange for a official action it would be reported up, as part of ethics rule in the federal government, this applied h me as u.s. interesting thing it is more of a institutional quid p

apparently jim comey and others disagree. doing the federal investigation into her husband and the fact is -- >> they haven't seen e-mails. >> none of us have. mike pence is calling for full disclosure and transparency, honesty and immediacy and that is a problem that hillary clinton always has. do people trust her to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth. her entire career is hillary first. our message is america first. here's is hillary first whether she's representing a rapist in getting him off of a 12-year-old girl back in the 1970s or doing this in the first place. the whole reason you and i are having this conversation is because hillary clinton decided to set up a private server, put on e-mails that jim comey has said were classified and contained national security information. he said i have no basis concluding hillary clinton was untruthful with us. do you accept that conclusion? >> why then did he go to congress two days later and when asked mrs. clinton said there's one device is that true. no, sir, that'

>> what i mean is that jim comey testified under oath they weren't looking at any more e-mails. looking at more e-mails for any reason he feels he needs to update that testimony so it is fully accurate. when the facts change, you change your testimony to congress and he says as much in the letter. but the way he wrote the letter and what is happening in response, which you and others have been reporting on and documenting suggests that this is confusing, cryptic, distortive even if people given a cryptic set of messages think this is bigger than it is. jim comey may have been trying to do the right thing legally, but has done it so poorly and so vaguely that practically it is a mess and distortive and something he may ultimately feel he needs to clean up in the next 11 days which in itself would invite more scrutiny. i've never seen anything quite like this. that is why it's so concerning. a stengs or -- a sentence or two to give context. that letter doesn't give any context. >> when elijah cummings said that he want the fbi before the send out to give additional information, is

does jim comey stay on as fbi director? >> i don't think he can.will be so compromised after this, whatever happens. i would expect him to resign. >> would it be possible to keep or dismiss him? she would be in the awkward position if she becomes president of saying, this guy who potentially hurt me is out. that's politically difficult for her. >> a better chance of staying under hillary clinton than donald trump ironically. it would be more difficult for hillary to push him out. >> is this a lame duck -- is this something that happened in the lame duck? >> comey is the headline next week. thank you to joan, ej and josh. that is our show for today. after the three of us -- the four of us take a selfie, i will be back tonight. join us from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. up next, alex witt. more news at the top of the hour. will yousiness be ready wh groh esents itself? american express open cards can help you takon a new job, or ed yourffe find outow amecan exprs cards and rvices can helprereou for grow at op.c. find outow amecan exprs i'm teihe is.olf. but i'd

loretta lynch is jim comey's boss. do you believe there was pressure put on jim comey to say, okay.t what you want to report, but do not recommend charges. >> you know, mu arie the fact tt you ask that question proves my point. may justice be done, even if the heavens fall. justice is the most important preset concept in our culture. it's not politics. it's not presidential elections. it is a blindfolded woman and the equal application of the law. and the fact that you had to ask me whether or not a meeting with the spouse of a target on the tarmac that was done could have affected the outcome is exactly what has many of us so upset. the department of justice should not be politicized and i think that's where the next series of questions go. comey has been twice. he answers the questions. i disagree with him. the next questions need to be directed to loretta lynch and her "career prosecutors" about the immunity agreement and what element they thought was missing because, maria, keep in mind. if secretary clinton wins, can she have this arrangement as the president? can the next secr

jim comey's sas case is i told congress the case was closed.ave new eford are avidence a tell them the truth. >> sensitive to the idea what happens if he -- something comes out later, and they say, you knew about this before the election, didn't say anything. so that's, i think, the pressure he was feeling. also as my colleague has in the paper today, in the "wall street journal," a long story about the disputes inside the justice department with fbi agents and the headquarters folks over all sorts of investigations about the clinton foundation, and about hillary clinton and the deep divides he was sort of, that was all percolating underneath all this. >> he set the precedent in july announcing to the world why she did not deserve to be prosecuted criminally and laying out a laundry list of criticism against hillary clinton. this put him in that box that he reached a decision on thursday, whether or not to go forward, and eventually announcing on friday. by being so cryptic in that letter it's led to all sorts of sbep interpretations exactly wh

jim comey did this -- >> we don't know that. here is why we don't know that. >> the search warrant was just issued. >> the fbi [ inaudible ]. >> they had to make a showing that there was a connection to the case otherwise wouldn't have gotten the warrant. let's talk aboutiki leaks. what do you think about the fact that your gal, her husband was making $100 million from people related to the clinton foundation so much money that made $12 million from what country is it? for five minutes. not qatar. one of the countries. $12 million for one country for five minutes, one of the middle eastern countries and $100 million just to be -- they were raising money for bill clinton inc. while she is secretary of state. >> the market was there. it didn't have anything to do with her being secretary of state. it was him being bill clinton. >> $12 million for five minutes. can somebody find out the name of the country? morocco. >> i don't know if that is true. >> it is true. >> but the thing is, it is bill clinton. >> his words are just nothin

certainly jim comey's history is demonstrating a commitment to integrity.at he thought was right. i am concerned that people by questioning his integrity really undermine an institution that we need to defend on and have confidence going forward. somewhere this will end involving hillary clinton and she'll win, she'll lose, but the fbi continues to be an important institution in guarding our national security and our -- >> our last best hope, you might say. now we have republicans up until a couple days ago who were saying jim comey was in the bag for democrats and now they say he's on the other side. so now you have an fbi director almost in an impossible place. he's put this letter out there that is unquestionably vague. there's very few facts inside that letter. what can he do in the next ten days? he can continue the investigation in its proper aggressive manner and bring it to a logical conclusion. look, the call for him to reveal what he has now, which we have just heard, is not only hypocrite call. people who understand the system, though, that is ev

maybe jim comey, if he thinks it's important, will let us know and come out in the next nine days. >> all right. john podesta this morning. we'll talk with our panel about this right after a quick break. when i started designing a bronx tale: the musical, i came up... ...with this idea of four towers that were fire escapes... ...essentially. i'll build a little model in photoshop and add these... ...details in with a pen. i could never do that with a mac. i feel like my job is... ...to put out there just enough detail to spur the audiences... ...imagination to fill in all the blanks. this windows pc is amazing, having all of my tools... ...right at my finger tips is incredible. >>> all right. you just heard john podesta respond to the fbi investigation. let's talk about this with our panel, historian and professor, julian and david who is a cnn political commentator. also with "the washington post." good to see you. david, let me begin with you. podesta paints this as nuance. he thinks huma abedin truly did believe she had handed over everything. so even in your newspaper today it's r

they're doing an all out assault on jim comey. i mean, really shooting the messenger, plus. a full body slam all day yesterday. i think that's a risky strategy as well. he's remind ourselves, but for hillary clinton violating long standing policies setting up this private server, deleting 33,000 e-mails, failing to turn over the additional 17,000, bleaching them so that they would be permanently deleted, we wouldn't be in this position and by the way, willie, she could ask huma an e-mails. she could ask her right now and tell all, so she can call into the "today" show right now and tell you, willie geist, here's what the e-mails. >> this is an open investigation. it's on the eve of an election that's why the doj recommended director comey not to proceed with this letter because everyone knew it would be leaked out to the public. if you were on the other side of this, would you think this was the right thing to do on the eve of an election to be so vague about it without knowing the content? >> well, comey was in an had he sat on the information, he may well have been interfe

obviously, he says that the fbi -- he has been calling the fbi and jim comey lackeys and corrupt. and now we have members saying these are appalling. and also, by the way, we also have a letter from ron johnson who sent a letter to jim comey saying you oh us more information, as much information as possible about this investigation. >> what i do not understand and sort of am still trying to wrap my mind around is, a, how did the fbi not know about whatever device or devices that she sad with anthony had with weiner and now did they not see these e-mails and why didn't she turn over these devices and/or these e-mails during the original investigation? because it was her responsibility and anyone around clinton's responsibility to come forward with any information. >> you heard tonight from clinton she wants answers from the fbi. her campaign owes us some answers as well. what was the order of events here because the fbi certainly did not have possession of this. they didn't have possession until they obtained a number of devices as part of the weiner investigation. again, none of t

. >> if anybody put money down in vegas six months ago to jim comey, anthony weiner would be a factor in the election that's money you'll collect. let's step back to what we're looking at now. remember the clinton email investigation was shut down in july. comey said they looked at all this and said no reasonable prosecutor would ever press a case against hillary clinton. jim comey is a republican serving in a democratic administration. republicans were furious and thought he was cooking the books for hillary clinton. now republicans love jim comey because he sent this letter to congress on friday and said investigators came in the weiner investigation, under investigation for apparently sexting an underaged girl in north carolina, i hope i have to never speak that sentence again but said on his laptop emails pertinent to the clinton investigation. even though fbi says don't talk about ongoing investigations period, that's one policy. the other policy is close to an election don't do anything that could sway voter, don't get out in the middle of of an election campaign. "i agree that
