Actually , unlike most of the pundits, I think this vindication of Hillary by the FBI came at the right time-2 days before the election. People have short memory and would have forgotten she has been vindicated if it came out too early. Now it is fresh in everybody's mind and news will dominate it tonight, and all day Monday. Good timing in my opinion !

(3,072 posts)Clinton way ahead across the board, Republicans anemic, 3rd party support has collapsed and all before this story came out. I think we're good.

(26,044 posts)I have a different view of this announcement -- although nominally an exoneration, it's just another reminder of HILLARY'S E-MAILS two days before an election. Remember, even her exoneration in July caused a steep drop in the polls. I fear that, for many, the exoneration will be seen as the Obama administration forcing the FBI to back down, and that the big story will be to remind people that she did something wrong once again.
