Gorilla Dusts

FBI Director James Comey's letter to the House of Representatives on Friday saying that he was re-opening the Clinton e-mail investigation has caused the Democrats to grab handfuls of gorilla dust to throw into the air to confuse things. In particular:

- Both Hellary and John Podesta claimed that Comey only sent his critical letter to House Republicans -- NOT TRUE, he sent it to an equal number of ranking Democrats.

- Democrats claimed that the FBI did not have a search warrant to peruse the Abedin/Weiner computer -- Anthony Weiner is said to have given the FBI their computer so it didn't need a warrant.

- Hellary and Campaign Manager Robby Mook have claimed that Tomey hasn't seen all the e-maiłs in this "ambiguity bomb" so how does he know that they are material ... and they could be duplicates of ones already in hand -- the FBI has had this info since September. I'm sure that they know everything that is in them. They were discovered in a file folder call "Life Insurance" ... probably culled from Huma's correspondence by either Huma or Anthony as insurance against stressful times. (My money is on Weiner.)

- Democrats have resurrected the specter of Russian involvement in our election ... pretty much a generic charge that is trotted out when nothing else is at hand.

- Harry Reid, in a letter to Tomey, has accused him of violating the Hatch Act which forbids the FBI of involving itself in elections. This charge needs to be investigated further but it is probably just more gorilla dust. Stay tuned.

It has just been revealed that there are 650,000 e-mails and documents in this treasure trove ... hopefully including all those that Hellary's people destroyed last March ... and then some. No wonder the FBI needs to take some time to resolve things.

DickiLeaks

During the FBI investigation into Huma Abedin's husband, Anthony Weiner's, possible criminal sexting with a minor, four unsecured computers and/or smart phones were seized from their home which apparently have revealed items that caused concern (Dickileaks?). The fact that FBI Director James Comey has interjected himself into this presidential race eleven days before Election Day is a dramatic and risky move. Speculation abounds as to why he would have done such a precipitous thing that might jeopardize Hellary's chances at election. 

I would like to offer some possible reasons for his actions ... some of which I have heard on the media and some of which are original. I have arranged them in order of what I think are the most likely possibilities, from top to bottom ... and also suffixed them with a number indicating the possible damage (10 = worst) to Hellary's campaign ... or her presidency (if the are not revealed until after the election in which she might prevail):

- There were non-duplicate e-mails found that contain classified or highly classified government information on an unsecured computer (7)

- From my son -- there were e-mails from Hellary which show her clear "intent" to conceal her other e-mails ... which was the rationale for not pursuing things further in July (10)

- There were e-mails or documents discovered revealing pay for play interaction between the State Department and the Clinton Foundation or associated entities (8)

.

- There were original or forwarded e-mails discovered from Huma to her mother or brother (both connected to the Arab Brotherhood) or other foreign entities that compromise U.S. Foreign policy matters (10)

- There were e-mails discovered that reveal personal relationships within the Clinton crime family and the Abedin/Weiner family that pose serious embarrassment or conflicts of interest ... in particular between Huma and Hellary (4)

- There were e-mails or documents that Anthony Weiner had access to that, although not classified, nevertheless compromise State  Department operations or intentions (3)

Whatever is eventually revealed, I suspect part of Comey's motivation for this dramatic statement is to try to resurrect the FBI's and his reputation after his blatantly political decision in July to let Hellary skate on the original discoveries ... and also the recent revelations that his second in command, Andrew McCabe,was tainted by significant contributions (bribes?) to his wife's campaign from Terry McAuliffe, a Clinton Foundation Board member ... see: Who Cares?

The next few days should be very interesting ... and consequential ...
