3 Competing Theories Why the Clinton FBI Probe IS BACK
There is no question that re-opening the FBI Investigation into Hillary Clinton’s email server is a big deal. The FBI normally avoids acting just before an election in order to avoid charges of political manipulation. NBC reports:
The FBI is reviewing a new batch of Hillary Clinton emails, bureau director James Comey said in a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee on Friday.
“In connection with an unrelated case, the FBI has learned of the existence of emails that appear to be pertinent to the investigation … I agreed that the FBI should take appropriate 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,” he wrote.
The very first thing to note is that Comey made no mention of a grand jury. The emails whose existence he learned of may have been the result of a subpoena in another investigation. Update: It was announced ten days ago that grand jury would be convened to investigate Weiner’s sexting “by the end of the month.” The timing of Comey’s letter strongly suggests that the devices containing new emails were obtained through a grand jury subpoena, with no immunity deals or evidence destruction needed. If that is the case, further subpoenas are quite possible, a tool that was left unused in the investigation to date.
There are 3 competing theories as to why he might be doing this now that come to mind.
- He might be seeking to restore his badly damaged reputation, recognizing that the damage he has inflicted on the FBI is substantial. Three days ago, American Thinker published an open letter from a retired FBI Agent, Hugh Galyean, that laid out some of the damage Comey has inflicted on the institution he leads. There is little doubt that this reached many in the FBI family, putting in print what people have only whispered about. If those silenced voices start speaking out, Comey could face a serious loss of face. In this scenario, he is heading off a staff rebellion, possibly including mass resignations.
- Rush Limbaugh today discussed an alternative theory, that by announcing an FBI Investigation resuming, Comey is putting a lid on further attention to Wikileaks. I guess this means that Clinton forces will argue we must wait for the investigation to be complete (after the election) before speaking about what the evil Russians are planting into our politics.
- It is possible that something so dramatic came up in the pertinent emails that postponing a public reaction by not announcing the reopening of the investigation would, be regarded as political interference by covering up a smoking gun until after the election. In this scenario, Comey is assuming the evidence cannot be suppressed, and that he would be held accountable after it comes out. This scenario also indicates that we could be headed for a constitutional crisis, involving the possible indictment of a president-elect before an election. Or the evidence being turned over to the House of Representatives for impeachment hearings.
We’ll know more in the coming days, and I am sure there are other possible theories and motives. It is shame that we have to speculate, and that the once-respected FBI director is now subject to analysis of his political gamesmanship.

UNLESS COMEY AND LYNCH RECUSE THEMSELVES, AND AN INDEPENDANT COUNCIL IS NAMED OR A GRAND JURY IS KNOWN TO BE IN EXISTANCE, THEN THIS WHOLE THING IS MORE BULLSHIT; DON’T FORGET WHAT LEVELS OF DECEPTION THE CLINTONS AND COHORTS RESORT TO…..THIS WHOLE THING COULD JUST BE A BIG CIRCUS SHOW TO GET CLINTON INTO THE WHITEHOUSE, AND THEN SHE CAN SIMPLY PARDON HERSELF. I DON’T BELIEVE A SINGLE WORD OF THIS AS LONG AS COMEY AND LYNCH ARE STILL INVOLVED. ITS PURE BULLSHIT. COMEY IS NOT GOING TO JUST SUDDENLY REOPEN THE INVESTIGATION NO MATTER WHAT COMES OUT IN EMAILS…..JUST THINK OF WHATS ALREADY COME OUT; HELL, HE COULD HAVE BEEN HORRIFIED BY A NUMBER OF THINGS THAT HAVE COME OUT OF THOSE EMAILS, AND REOPENED THIS CASE, BUT HE DIDN’T…..AND HE WOULDN’T BECAUSE HE DOESN’T WANNA END UP ON CLINTONS DEAD LIST.
NO, THIS IS BULLSHIT; WHATEVER THE SCAM IS, IT IS A WAY TO DEFLECT FROM THE ELECTION AND GIVE HILLARY SUPPORTERS A REASON TO STILL VOTE FOR HER, FIGURING THAT IF THERE WAS REALLY SOMETHING TERRIBLE THAT SHE DID, SHE WOULD HAVE ALREADY BEEN FOUND GUILTY AND PUT INTO JAIL.
HILLARY SUPPORTERS ARE SOME OF THE STUPIDEST PEOPLE ON EARTH, REMEMBER THAT.
Wow, that is awesome and I totally agree with you. But will the crook get there in the oval office?
Number 1
I don’t believe anything that fbi dir homey has to say.Put it on the table for all to see,then I’ll believe it….maybe.Until that time,keep on Trumpin’.

We can now only guess what’s going on, but I believe Comey may have asked for immunity, Lynch asked him to wait but he said this was to important!! That’s why I think he went straight to Congress and by-passed her recommendation!! An ex-FBI agent said last night that Comey’s reopening this case meant he had enough to indict, but who we don’t know!! I pray each and everyone of them including Obama go to jail!!!
That would be nice.I do have ONE good thing to say about hillary,she looks good in an orange pantsuit,don’t you think ;}>
Looks like ‘Hunter Safety Orange” to me.
All the FBI agents on the case in July, found so much corruption, that Comey could not keep them all quiet, so I think they told him to open the case for indictment or they would spill the beans to the public and Comey would go down with the rest of them.
Comey’s covering his behind. I think Clinton’s cronies think that Trump’s going to win big enough that Soros has to bribe the entire electoral college if he wants her to win. There is a Plan B, which assumes a Trump win.
Yes, Eileen!
I also believe not only will old Hillary swing, but Bill as we’ll, and Obama, Lynch and others will fall with them as well.
God gives us one miracle after another. Please remember that is was only a year ago that Trump announced his run. I have no doubt in my mind all of this evil and corruption is on the verge of being completely and undeniably exposed. I’ve watched 30 years and this time is different they are going down. God is delivering justice every minute of this election. We should be thankful and look forward to rebuilding this broken country.
I think the Bulldog prosecutor in New York who was investigating the Clinton Foundation told Comey that he had enough to move forward and therefore force him to act to save face.
