Trump designing a Weiner commemorative? I'm sure it'll be bigger than life!

Dick Lick?

My bad. Stamps come pre-moistened these days.

Watching the news tonight, my wife looked over and said, simply, "Homer Stokes."

Yeah... it fits.

“This is like an 18-wheeler smacking into us, and it just becomes a huge distraction at the worst possible time,” said Donna Brazile, the chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee

While agents reviewed files on Weiner’s computer, agents came across metadata — files that list to-and-from information for emails — and found tens of thousands of emails related to Clinton.

advisers did ask campaign surrogates in a conference call Friday that the following message be pushed forward:

that the FBI investigation had not been reopened;
that none of the new emails had emerged from Clinton;
that the FBI had to release more details about its inquiry;
and that they were concerned that James Comey had taken this action.

**********************

sounds like above will be the Dem talking points

unfortunately (if true about metadata) this dovetails w the report that the FBI hasn't read them yet

Yea I am concerned that James Comey took this action too. That he took it too dam long!

Yes I want her to lose, but more importantly I wany to see her prosecuted for violating security laws. I know she will be a disaster for our country, but so will allowing her recklessness with our national security.

I can believe that weasel Weiner would sell out everyone else to save his skin. He knows he'd be raped repeatedly in prison...

Wikileaks will not need a warrant.....

Weiner can give permission and a warrant won't be needed.

If the guy on Fox earlier is correct, Comey won't need the DoJ to play ball to get a warrant. Virtually any federal judge can issue it.

Who goes to court to get a warrant for the FBI?

DOJ lawyers. That's why they don't already have a warrant.

Huh? NOTHING is more important than her losing on November 8th. If she is subsequently indicted, so be it.

The Shepard Smith Conundrum...

Ok, being funny here. I first heard about the news late Friday from this forum. So I tuned into Fox to see what was up (fully knowing it was the Shepard Smith hour...ugg). Man 'ol Shep was BESIDE himself, it was glorious! The look on his face, the tone of his voice...I swear at one point he was at a loss for words. His face was ashen, his tone strained, his eyes were trying to escape the camara...if I didn't know better I would have sworn someone just showed him a picture of a naked female!

Trust me, I want her defeated. To preserve the next 50 years of our democracy. I also want her held to account for the laws she broke, willfully, and with intent.

I KNOW she is poison. I also know she needs to be made an example of, or her type will continue to subvert us at our very core by acting above the law and expecting no consequences.

Yep. Trump is on record as saying he will call for a special prosecutor to investigate the entire matter, including the investigation itself, and let the process go where the facts lead. I do hope that happens.

I'm starting to think that even if Trump does not win, he's not going away.

this would be a good thing IMHO.

Me either. If he loses I hope he will stick around in politics. He has been, for better or for worse (and I think better) the best thing to happen to US politics since we slung off the yoke of British oppression. Clear mind, clear message, and more energy than the enegizer bunny.

Americans are innovators. We have done more, with less, than any civilization in the history of man. And we have done it well. A good leader will amplify the inate American spirit and help guide us to further greatness.

Now as for the last few days of this campaign I remember the words I was taught in boot so many years ago:

What is the job of the Marine Corps rifle squad?

"To seek out, close with, and destroy the enemy by fire and maneuver"!

So help me God we are so close I can taste it

While I agree that Clinton should be prosecuted, it should not stop there. Everyone in the chain of these emails, the wiping of the emails, the cover-up and any others associated with it should be prosecuted.

You can cut off the head of the snake but the snake is still lying there crooked and stinking.

If Trump wins, and it's looking more and more like that will happen, I pray that the Republicans can draw this investigation out beyond January 20th.

I know there is mostly a moratorium on pardon speak here, but I don't want this to even be a possibility. I have wanted to see Bill Clinton and his wife in prison, where they belong, for the past 25 years and it's looking like I might just get that wish.

Those two are rotten to the fucking core and they need to spend the rest of their worthless lives rotting away behind bars. Espionage, racketeering, perjury...I don't give damn. They just need to be nailed with something.

The way this shit works on a federal warrant request basis tells me that 48+ hours after Comey was informed about the Clinton issue, this is being driven solely by politics. Pure and simple.

Say, for instance, that thee feds are working a money laundering case and during the IV they come across, such as terrorism info. Those federal agents pick up the phone and tell the federal agents who work terrorism that they've come across info for them.

The terrorism people will work with an agent who swears out the affidavit. They agent presents it to the local AUSA who gives it the fine tooth comb review. Once he's satisfied, they both go the judge and request the warrant. The warrant, it passes judicial muster, is approved and ready with in several hours. Not 48.

It doesn't go beyond the local AUSA although, the DOJ could tell that local AUSA that he needs to send it up through his chain of command for approval. Doesn't work that way in real life but it could work that way if the DOJ insists. Why would the DOJ insist here? Politics.

My guess is that Lynch has suddenly taken a hands on approach to the warrant process, even though she said this summer that she'd let the FBI do their job without DOJ overlords and she'd accept their recommendation.

Since Comey already didn't honor her request not to send the letter, I'm sure Lynch is working it hard against him.

My thought is that all of this means it's potentially a very big deal, once the laptop is accessed. A very big deal with a cache of smoking guns and right now, they're implicating Huma.

Also recall that Huma has no clearance to have this material. None whatsoever and yet she has access to it. How's that? Hillary likely gave her Hillary's own username and password. Also an extremely big deal.

It's not just what's on the laptop and other devices, it's the fact that she swore under oath that she had given ALL devices with any State emails on them to the authorities. Lo and behold, here are multiple devices with State emails on them. Regardless of the content of those emails, she should already be under indictment for perjury.

Wild. So Attorney General Lynch, presumably on the orders of or with the acquiescence of President Obama, is dragging this whole thing out by refusing to let the FBI determine whether there's anything in the, well, shall we call them the Wiener Files?

I believe you, and for the reason given, but this is gonna drive the conspiracy theorists nuts. Why on earth would Obama and Lynch not get the FBI review going immediately, particularly the kind of "all hands on deck" review over the weekend that the Dem pundits were calling for on the Friday night news shows?

Dumb question on timing, just because I haven't walked through the backstory yet: the FBI did seize the laptop with the Weiner Files from Weiner and Abedin after she swore she'd turned over all of the devices she was supposed to, right?
