16. The email caused Comey to hold a press conf. Otherwise Lynch would have done it.

Comey's press conf altered the election, because it forced him to issue another statement in Oct.

If Comey never held the press conf, HRC is probably still in office.

So yes. The email matters. A lot.

Edit: p.s. hi, and hope you don't mind I quoted you in the "Quit now" thread just recently.
