Not As Morbid or Tragic As Usual, but Very Serious Nonetheless

When I turned my computer on, and opened my homepage, the first thing I saw was this:

FBI agents knew of Clinton-related emails weeks before director was briefed

Agents investigating Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server knew early this month that new messages had been uncovered that might be relevant to their case. FBI Director James B. Comey, seen here, has said he was told of the development Thursday. 

      With all that we have riding on this election, and the importance of getting  those we know to get out and vote for someone,  are we really concerned with some emails, and policies and procedures??? All of the space that's been used to  vilify Hilary in the newspapers and magazines, all the time  spent on her by TV news anchors and  camera crews, not to mention all the time her opponent, Donald Trump, spends talking about sending her to jail,  and all of it for what?  None of it has anything to do with the issues facing this country today, or explains how either one is planning to solve the problems! IMO, unless they find an email which states something about using the private mail server to hide something (i.e. "Dear So-and-So,  I have something to discuss with you, but first I want to assure you that you don't have to worry about speaking freely. I'm using a private email server,  not my government server." Then I'd say we have something to talk about, something to worry about!  Anybody seen anything like that, or heard anything close to that?And I'm NOT talking about the stuff coming out of the Trump camp or the Republican Party! The answer is a loud, resounding, No!!!

The above was written on Sunday; I wasn't able to finish because something came up.  Now today, (Tuesday) I see this article* on an ABC News website:

FBI agents Investigation Into Hilary Clinton Back On

FBI Director James Comey released a statement today* saying that the FBI is going to continue the previously closed investigation into Hillary Clinton's emails from her time as secretary of state.

"In connection with an unrelated case, the FBI has learned of the existence of emails that appear to be pertinent to the investigation," Comey wrote in a letter released today.

Comey wrote in the letter that after being briefed on the unrelated case, he agreed, "the FBI should take appropriated investigative steps designed to allow investigators to review these emails to determine whether they contain classified information, as well as to assess their importance to our investigation."

Of course the news media is all over this, claiming that the FBI director must have evidence of a crime committed by the Clintons, and that's why they are reopening the investigation. What they have not made clear in these reports is that this is NOT the same investigation as before! As a matter of fact, it is not because of Hilary that the investigation was reopened!

Here's a bit of an article from the New York Times:

Mr. Weiner, who lost his seat in Congress and his mayoral hopes after repeated episodes in which he sent lewd messages to women, is now under federal investigation for allegedly sending sexual messages to a 15-year-old girl in North Carolina. In that inquiry, the F.B.I. this month seized a laptop that contained thousands of messages belonging to Ms. Abedin, a top aide to Mrs. Clinton.

Huma Abedin

The F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, told Congress on Friday that investigators will now review those messages for possible relevance to the Clinton inquiry, news that rattled the Clinton campaign and stung her supporters.

Huma Abedin is one of Hilary Clinton's top aides, so close that she has been referred to as Clinton's  "Shadow".  Anthony Weiner's laptop and the investigation into his 'habit'  of sexting women is what has sparked this new topic of debate. As a matter of fact, His latest scandal to become public is his sexting  a 15 year old girl. During the investigation into that, it came out that there were hundreds of emails purportedly from Clinton's private server.

To me, this is nothing but another attempt to discredit Clinton and thwart her at the polls.  He has already said that she would not be charged, and the whole thing was squashed.  Even if this were a legitimate attempt to find wrongdoing, why was it so important to announce it now, before even completing the review of the emails? At this point they have no idea if there is anything in those emails that could possibly be incriminating to Clinton, so why the rush?

One thing I'm really curious about, why has the FBI  neglected to mention anything about Trump's alleged connections to an alleged Russian plot to usurp our election?

FBI agents  A Veteran Spy  Has Given the FBI Information Alleging 

a Russian Operation to Cultivate Donald Trump 

From an article in  Mother Jones::

On Sunday, Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid upped the ante. He sent Comey a fiery letter    saying the FBI chief may have broken the law and pointed to a potentially greater controversy: "In my communications with you and other top officials in the national security community, it has become clear that you possess explosive information about close ties and coordination between Donald Trump, his top advisors{sic}, and the Russian government…The public has a right to know this information."

(You can read the entire article here.)

Why hasn't that been mentioned? Why hasn't the FBI Director made a big  announcement, or written a letter about that? 

This election has been the worst I have seen in the 39 years I've been of voting age.  It is the perfect example of  dirty campaigns run in dark backrooms by men in dark suits hunched over a table smoking cigars and glaring at each other as they gesticulate wildly. These campaigns have fit the stereotype that you always see on television and in movies, where someone is paid off to do something dirty and underhanded. It's  beginning to seem as if there is no reason to vote, not for these two candidates  at least.

There ARE OTHER CANDIDATES though! You don't have to settle for one of the big two, please get out  and vote for someone! Don't  let the Republicans  undo all the work that Obama has done!
