White House: Obama doesn't believe Comey is trying to influence the election
The White House said on Monday that President Barack Obama does not believe that FBI Director James Comey is trying to influence the election with his decision to review new evidence in the probe into Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server while she was secretary of state.
"The president's assessment of his integrity and his character has not changed," White House press secretary Josh Earnest told reporters during the daily briefing. "The president does not believe that Director Comey is intentionally trying to influence the outcome of an election. The president does not believe that he is secretly strategizing to benefit one candidate or one political party."
Comey has come under fierce criticism — including from Clinton's campaign — for telling lawmakers of his decision to revive the FBI's inquiry just 11 days before the election. Donald Trump has seized on the news to try to drive home the idea that Clinton can't be trusted and would enter the White House under a cloud of criminal suspicion.
And while Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid suggested over the weekend that Comey might have "broken the law" with his latest move, the White House was more sympathetic.
"He is in a tough spot," Earnest said.
But in what became a frequent refrain during the briefing, Earnest said his lack of independent information precluded any more reaction from the White House.
"Nobody at the White House has insight into the decision that Director Comey made," Earnest said.
Earnest’s repeatedly contended he would neither “defend or criticize” Comey’s letter or his very public statement about the case in July when he recommended that charges should not be brought against Clinton, but proceeded to scold Clinton and her aides for carelessness with classified materials.
I got my legal education from TV so take this with a grain of salt..
The original investigation was in regards to Weiner's sexting bit. Evidence of another separate case was discovered during the Weiner investigation.
It is hard for me to believe that the FBI does not know exactly what is in the emails that they stumbled upon. They stopped what they were doing and are not presenting evidence regarding HRC's server and Foundation until they get a warrant or consent(which apparently Wiener is cooperating) for the new evidence. I think they (FBI) are dotting every I and crossing every T to make sure all evidence is admissible.
That is assuming that Comey is not the piece of shit that we think he is. I hope that the shit show that he has put on since July has actually been him playing chess to make sure he gets them all.... Clinton, Lynch, Obama, et al. I have my reservations though.. Comey has a long history with the Clintons going all the way back to Arkansas.
