Related: About this forumFBI agents now talking with reporters that reopen language is incorrect
As I said in my piece, Comey did not say case reopened. Rep Chaffetz said that. Now FBI saying to reporters on background thats incorrect.

Clarifications now happening. TV may ignore it for awhile but frenzy among journalists is subsiding. FBI is pushing back and rapidly.

I agree. Comey needs to release a statement and smack down Chaffetz for the lie.

CNN is still reporting as breaking news that FBI is reopening probe into Clinton emails. No change.
