Clinton camp calls for FBI to release full details of probe

Source: The Hill

By Mallory Shelbourne - 10/28/16 03:58 PM EDT

Hillary Clinton’s campaign is calling for the FBI to release full details of its new investigation into Clinton’s email server.

"The Director owes it to the American people to immediately provide the full details of what he is now examining. We are confident this will not produce any conclusions different from the one the FBI reached in July," Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta said Friday in a statement.

The FBI told Congress earlier Friday that new Clinton emails were under review by the agency.

"FBI Director (James) Comey should immediately provide the American public more information than is contained in the letter he sent to eight Republican committee chairmen. Already, we have seen characterizations that the FBI is 'reopening' an investigation but Comey's words do not match that characterization," Podesta said. "Director Comey's letter refers to emails that have come to light in an unrelated case, but we have no idea what those emails are and the Director himself notes they may not even be significant."

and it could actually violate the law for them to just publish them all.

Dear James Comey: Anthony Weiner just sent me a dick pic with the nuclear codes written on his cock-shaft.

If it came out that the emails were discovered in the course of the Weiner investigation, most folks would have just rolled their eyes. This is the biggest Rick roll since Trump's hotel stunt.

So far the reporting of this story has gone like this:
FBI ... Clinton ... emails ... Weiner ... sexting.
So we can have this dominate the weekend, the Sunday morning bloviating, and newspaper op-ed pages for at least the beginning of next week.
That the Republican Congress is behind this is hardly surprising. Alas, neither is the fact that the lazy slugs working in the media echo chamber will, once again, serve as Pavlov's dog.
