Why is there radio silence from the Clinton campaign on this

[Txbluedog]

I don't believe for a second that they are stunned by this development. As well planned as her campaign is they should have thought of this possibility

[msongs]

1. is it too late to apply for a job as their media spokesperson? nt

[Wounded Bear]

2. She was in the air in a plane on the way to a campaign stop...

will probably respond shortly.

[DURHAM D]

3. Wrong. The campaign had no idea that

Comey was going to insert himself into Trump's campaign staff today.

This isn't that hard.

[workinclasszero]

6. What does the alt-right have on Comey?

Or is he just a fascist in his heart?

[DURHAM D]

9. The latter. nt

[workinclasszero]

20. Its got to be one or the other right?

I sure Trump has a lovely gift for this damn sellout..

[Dem2]

4. Because they're not going to react like frenzied reactionaries?

Jesus people, calm down

[misterhighwasted]

18. This ^ thanks.

The statement came from the republicans, not the FBI.

Smells like last minute desperate dirty trickery..its how they've run this entire campaign since the first day.

Team Hillary was prepared then and they are prepared now. Trump & the RNC cannot stop her anymore. They know it.
And people just aren't listening to this redundant b.s. anymore. Its more of the same old news. They have moved on no matrer how frenzied the media spooks schreech.

VOTE!

[Dem2]

5. See this thread for what letter actually is

[misterhighwasted]

22. Thank You. From the link:

1. FBI not reopening the investigation.
2. Comey legally had 2 inform Congress, because he testified they had finished reviewing evidence,

When u discover information that requires you to amend ur testimony, you have to do so immediately, particularly as a government official...

...However, the FBI should have known that this letter would be misread by people who don't know procedures - both "reopening" and when...

more...

7. Because They're Busy Winning an Election

Not dealing with and ennobling nonsense. They will issue a properly dismissive statement shortly. Until then, let's leave the running of the campaign to the professionals, k?

[yallerdawg]

12. It's unprecedented!

Comey has again crossed the line of neutrality.

What purpose is served at this time to make another unprecedented announcement days before the election? It can only be for political disruption.

And it better not be related to WikiLeaks releases.

[MyNameIsKhan]

21. Comey needs to come out and address the press

[Farmgirl1961]

14. I think that someone from the HRC campaign needs to say something

and all the surrogates need to speak up as well about this.

[Demsrule86]

33. No they don't...

You don't give credence to bullshit like this by acknowledging it...Chavez did it...liar that he is...he will twist in the wind as it becomes widely known he lied.

[stonecutter357]

15. you seem very concerned.

[Thrill]

17. You have to respond to everything. That's what made Obama's

Campaign so good

[Joe941]

19. They do need to respond...

but they need talk intelligently (unlike the other guy).

[Farmgirl1961]

34. That's what I'm saying

They go low, we go high...but it shouldn't be totally ignored.

[Avalux]

23. Because it's nothing. I agree they should treat it as if it's nothing.

The worst thing a campaign spokesperson could do it get out there an legitimize false information, get into a back and forth with a Trumpster.

It will die on it's own.

[ehrnst]

26. Because the case isn't being re-opened? About the only thing she could say

is that "it's not as bad as it looks," and that would feed headlines for days.

[kstewart33]

29. They are gathering as much information as they can.

Never, NEVER make a public statement, especially the first statement about a situation, without first getting and evaluating all available information.

[Demsrule86]

32. I see the same folks I always see on these sort of threads.

Sorry to disappoint you all ...including those of you who frequent another website, but it has been clarified...Chavez made up the reopen part. Aww....

[herding cats]

35. Because they didn't know about this, and want to get the facts straight?

That's my guess. Which actually makes sense and coincides with what her campaign has said so far.

Going off without facts, like the media has, benefits no one here other than possibly Trump.
