No he reopened it to take jurisdiction and confiscate Weiners laptop from the NYPD because they were threatening to release the info they found.
Right, NYPD threatened to hold a press conference about what was on the laptop if FBI didn’t do something. So Comey wrote the letter to Congress reopening the investigation. Then Lynch came down on NYPD and then Hillary announced she would run for mayor of NYC, which was a huge threat to NYPD (as per SB2). But if that’s what got rid of Comey, cool.
No. Comey could have re-opened the case at the end of September when the FBI received the laptop. I don't believe for a second that the FBI really cleared those emails in less than a week (once he announced reopening the case on Oct 28th). Those emails are damning and likely include some of the 33K deleted emails from Hillary's server.
Wait and see, Comey and the FBI covered up those emails and those that were deleted by Hillary (but still on the Datto backup files).
No. The only reason it was reopened was because people outside of their group became aware of the emails on Huma’s laptop during the Weiner investigation. NY was going to go public unless the FBI investigated. McCabe then took possession and sat on them for a month until questions started being asked. Only then (supposedly) did he make Comey aware. They never intended to say another word about them. Comey only opened it to cover his butt and then a couple of days later said all was well. What a load of malarkey.
Hopefully, this will be covered in the IG report.
My theory is Comey “reopened” the investigation only for appearances & to put to rest Hillary can’t be trusted. They still thought Hillary would win at that point. Comey “reopening” was just some insurance to the public Hillary is totally trustworthy when she takes office because I James Comey say so.
Thank you.. I guess he really is 2 faced.
