#1 I was so excited, I doubled-up on my Aa.

#2 Is this a sign that they see the writing on the wall about a Trump win? It seems it would be prudent to have waited two weeks.

#3 Loose Weiner or loose cannon...either way it's not good.

#4 There is a joke in there somewhere about free-ranging dicks screwing up Hillary's campaign.

#5 Notice how Biden has been getting a bit more talk/exposure lately? OTOH, it's pretty late in the day.

#6 Maybe this is enough to stick this time - since apparently a lot of FBI agents have threatened to quit over the roll-over and whitewash from Comey on the previous case that was obviously thrown by him. That being said...

Someone duct tape Trumps mouth shut for the weekend please.

It seems every time we get something like this he says or does something idiotic to put the spotlight on himself and off Hillary.

Let her twist in the wind, nothing else to distract form the chorus of emails revealing her and Podesta's lies and deceits, and now hopefully so much criminal evidence that not even Obama and Comey can hide it.

Secondary Bonus: this is a nice point for the case against early voting.

#7 If Cheetoh-head puts his foot in his mouth AGAIN this weekend I have to conclude his intention is for Her Majesty to win.

#8 And Raj beat me to the post, but Raj stuck it on Page 3.

#9 She is blaming the FBI and calling for the emails to be released. I'm sure WikiLeaks will be happy to reply. Something really big must be cooking. The head of DOJ pleads the 5th and now this?

#10 As bad as it seems, I'm concerned this was chosen as a manageable strand of the web. Emails everywhere, FBI lockdown of 'an active investigation', Hilarity recusing herself for a Dem 2nd stringer is easier to swallow than treason and murder.

#11 The head of DOJ pleads the 5th

I was amazed at this and further amazed that so little has been made of it.

' "Pleading the Fifth" is a colloquial term for invoking the privilege that allows a witness to decline to answer questions where the answers might incriminate him, and generally without having to suffer a penalty for asserting the privilege.'

You can only incriminate yourself when you have done something criminal.

#12 "No Wifi on Clinton Plane Slows Her Response to FBI Letter: CNN"

I'm more likely to believe only the press' comlinks were down. The folks up front, on alternate communications methods, were spinning feverishly, trying to figure out how to minimize Mr. Comey's invasion of their safe space.

#13 PSYCH!

Yes.

This is all over Facebook, and I've been sent emails about it as well.
