prediction: Comey will make an announcement 5 days before election that he found clinton emails

in Abedin's lap-top. He will say something like this:


Dir Comey: "We have found a number of emails from Sec Clinton on Ms Abedin's computer. But let me point out that we have no idea what is in these emails since we have not looked at their contents yet. I felt compelled to do the right thing and alert Congress to this new development, even though we don't know what the meaning of this development could be. This is not to say Sec. Clinton lied to us and withheld these emails on Ms Abedin's computer. Let's be clear I am not saying that, though I can't stop anybody out there who worries about our National security from inferring any number of perfidies perpetrated by Sec. Clinton - but I am not saying that.

I will, of course, inform Congress when we actually know what is in these emails, we haven't looked at the content I just wanted to avoid criticism of withholding even a mote of information from Congress. Don't let this bother you as you vote next week, I will tell you later what nefarious activities of Sec. Clinton, might be found.



After the election it will be revealed by Dir Comey that there were two emails from Sec Clinton to Ms. Abedin asking her if she wanted any Tomatos as Bill had planted some in the back yard (and as anyone knows whose planted Tomatos you always get far more than you can eat yourself). After Ms. Abedin politely declined the offer of Tomatos, Sec Clinton sent her another email saying she would pay Abedin to take just few Tomatos. Mr. Comey said they investigated whether Sec Clinton was breaking any laws paying a subordinate to accept a gift. Mr. Comey said the value of the potential transaction was too small to consider legal action, but he advised the FBI was still looking into the matter and would report on it later.

If he does make another announcement, there should be people there to question him. Hillary's team should post a list of questions somewhere or outright ask them at a rally.
