The email story is boring

So the media and GOP are trying to tie it to Weiner's sexting, hoping to get more mileage. However, watching coverage this morning, I feel most people will tune in for a few minutes and turn the channel. There is nothing there that will hold the average American's attention. This is a non story, other than Comey's political stunt.

They seem they don't want to offend the GOP and Comey. You are right when the media starts doing their actual job, this will not be good for the GOP or Comey/FBI.

emerges is whether Comey should resign before noon or later on today.

I like before noon, but if pressed, I'll settle for close of business.

And the news isn't even reporting it correctly.
They keep saying the FBI has reopened the investigation into Hillary's emails
when it Anthony Weiner's emails.

Hopefully, I think most voters were decided before this and I doubt many (if any) change they're mind.

I'm tuning out most cable news now.
