See I told you: “She's crooked
Hillary – Lock her up”
Now back to the road to the Oval Office – thanks to the FBI
(Happy Dance Time)
UPDATE ON HILLARY CLINTON’S
EMAIL MESS – FIRST SOME BACKGROUND:
Trump’s campaign set off a
wave of concern about its tactics on Thursday after a senior campaign official
was quoted describing a sophisticated “voter suppression effort” the term usually
connotes aggressive attempts to keep people from polling places as reported by
Businessweek in which an unidentified Trump official used the term to describe
the team’s approach to three core groups of Hillary Clinton’s supporters. That
was on Thursday reported by numerous sources including the NY Times, the HILL,
Bloomberg, Politico, CBS News, Washington Post, and yes, FOX that referenced
the HILL article on the same subject.
The three major voter suppression operations underway
as described by that Trump campaign official are three group that Clinton needs
to win overwhelmingly – they are: (1)
idealistic young liberals, (2) young women, and (3) African-Americans.
Then in Toledo, Ohio just today again like he said
yesterday: “Just thinking to myself
right now, we should just cancel the election and just give it to Trump. Her
policies are so bad. Boy, do we have a big difference.” (Tongue in cheek, right)?
NOW THIS UPDATE VIS-À-VIS THE FBI
DIRECTOR’S LETTER TO CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEES THAT HIT THE WIRES TODAY:
I lead with this from Ronald
Reagan, worth repeating right now again: “TRUST BUT
VERIFY” – and that tidbit is from here:
Suzanne Massie, a writer on
Russia, met with President Ronald Reagan many times between 1984 and 1987. She
taught him this Russian proverb, “Доверяй, но проверяй” [Doveryai, no proveryai] which means: Trust, but verify. She advised
Mr. Reagan that the Russians like to talk in proverbs. He never forgot that and
it applies in this email case vis-à-vis Hillary Clinton and 11 days remaining before
the general election, based on this startling but yet so typical GOP-issued
headline:
How one Congressman punked the media
on the FBI letter about Clinton’s emails
P.S. – No,
the FBI did not say it would “reopen” its previously closed investigation that
we all saw on national TV and heard everything since.
All that chatter is mostly
from the Trumpettes.
The source of this update is from here (ThinkProgress.org) here in part:
FBI Director James Comey
alerted Republican members of Congress on Friday (October 28, 2016) that bureau
investigators would review some additional emails that might relate to
Hillary Clinton’s email server. BINGO – GOP kicks into high gear:
Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT),
the chairman of the House Oversight Committee who has already vowed to spend
the next several years investigating
Clinton should she be elected president, quickly rushed
to announce the news, falsely claiming that the case had been “reopened.” The FBI
director’s letter said no such thing – not even close.
However, it went downhill
from there with tweets from Speaker Ryan, and several other House members as
listed in this update link.
But, one more time, nothing in Director Comey’s letter
said the case was being “reopened,” even though an array of news outlets
repeated Rep. Chaffetz’s incorrect characterization.
Examples:
1. NBC News initially posted
a story with this framing, later changing the headline and lede or lead, to
drop the claim.
2. USA Today tweeted, falsely, that the FBI director had said the probe was being reopened.
3. The Hill and Bloomberg also got the facts wrong.
Needless to say, Trump broke
into his “happy dance” all day – and that is likely to continue, since his
previous lighthearted comment falls against the backdrop of his repeated and
serious questioning of the legitimacy of the presidential election in recent
weeks as he keeps calling the election “rigged blaming the media and
establishment politicians who are conspiring to sink his campaign” as he keeps
warning supporters that the presidency could be stolen from them due to voter
fraud – instances that are extremely rare, that is unless he wins – then all
bets are off.
So, based on these wild GOP
outbursts, w/o any facts, per se, it is safe to say that this election may
truly be rigged – but in favor of Donald J. Trump – if he wins based on this so
far, flimsy BS mood.
Stay tuned.
Thanks for stopping by – what
an historic and completely insane election cycle.
