Althea told me...
Apparently, July was just Comey's way of covering his real intentions until October.

Well played, Mr. Ex Director of the FBI....well played.

[FONT=&quot]FBI Director James Comey argued privately that it was too close to Election Day for the United States government to name Russia as meddling in the U.S. election and ultimately ensured that the FBI's name was not on the document that the U.S. government put out, a former bureau official tells CNBC.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]The official said some government insiders are perplexed as to why Comey would have election timing concerns with the Russian disclosure but not with the Huma Abedin email discovery disclosure he made Friday.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]In the end, the Department of Homeland Security and The Office of the Director of National Intelligence issued the statement on Oct. 7, saying: "The U.S. intelligence community is confident that the Russian Government directed the recent compromises of emails from U.S. persons and institutions, including from U.S. political organizations. ... These thefts and disclosures are intended to interfere with the U.S. election process."[/FONT]

its funny that everyones concern is the Russians email hacks are influencing the elections, instead of the hacks exposing lack of security in high level officials using private servers and exposing classified material.......but that's none of my business
 
remember what Comey said. Only that the Emails were found and "appeared pertinent" -which is still true.
He used very neutral language. He never said the investigation is active again either.

The Republicans in Congress and the press are the ones that blew it up,and now you have the Clintonistas saying Comey is disqualified .
The Democrats then started to attack Comey himself. Reid is especially loathesome

Comey was simply telling Congress more material was found, as he promised to do so.
He's not responsible for the hellabaloo that followed -that is on the electoral players/press actions themselves.
 
Every country is always trying to influence or elections. We have no idea the veracity of such claims, we have no idea the strength of the evidence, we don't even know which side they were trying to influence.

Clinton is corrupt and you guys need to accept that. Don't nominate a corrupt candidate if you don't like it.

With all the speculation about Russia trying to prevent Hillary's presidency, no one stops to ask why?

Maybe because they don't want another Cold War. Maybe Russia sees Hillary as the true loose canon that could blunder into a war. Maybe Russia wants none of that.

Why Experts Are Sure Russia Hacked the DNC Emails



Here's why the experts are so confident the Russians did it:



GEOGRAPHY: At least one of the hacker groups attacking the DNC appeared to cease operations on Russian holidays, and its work hours aligned with a Russian time zone, cybersecurity company FireEye concluded in a report.


LANGUAGE: The hackers also left an obvious digital fingerprint, one cybersecurity expert said, perhaps on purpose: a signature in Russia's Cyrillic alphabet.


FORENSIC EVIDENCE: After a different batch of hacked Democratic emails was released last month, a wide spectrum of cyber-security experts concluded that it was the work of Russian intelligence agencies through previously known proxy groups known as COZY BEAR or APT 29, and FANCY BEAR or APT 28. "We've had lots of experience with both of these actors … and know them well," according to the DNC's own contract cybersecurity firm, Crowdstrike, which blogged that one of the two groups had already gained illegal access to the White House, State Department and even the military's Joint Chiefs of Staff.


MOTIVE: Given their mutual and very public bromance, Putin would much prefer a Trump presidency to a Clinton one, and the timing suggests the leak was timed for maximum embarrassment to the Democrats and their presumptive nominee. Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook said the campaign was told by cyber experts that Russian hackers stole and released the emails to help Trump. "I don't think it's coincidental that these emails were released on the eve of our convention here," said Mook, "and I think that's disturbing."


HISTORY: U.S. intelligence officials, including Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, said they had previously seen evidence of foreign hackers spying on U.S. presidential candidates, including some state-sponsored ones, and that such cyber-intrusions would become even more commonplace.
