How a dubious Russian document influenced the FBIs handling of the Clinton probe

[PRETZEL]

15. I'm confused

I get it that Comey knew about the email back in July and thought it was of no value or it was unverifiable and as such he didn't use it as his basis for his decision not to pursue the email scandal any further.

Fast forward to October and all of a sudden emails that the NY Office had found on Anthony Weiner's laptop that Huma Abeden had also used that were from Sec. Clinton show up and that the case needs to be re-opened so they may be reviewed.

I hope I have it right so far, what I can't figure out is why this email is now so important again? Was this particular email also on that laptop? If so, how did it get there? Did the NY office find it and use it as their basis to force Comey to re-open the case? Was it used as a political tool against Comey (and by inference against Sec. Clinton)?

I think either way Comey was put in a bad spot. If he maintained his previous stance that he thought the email was unverifiable then the media will call it politically motivated in covering up for Sec. Clinton. We know that McConnell has made such statement. As it happened and he went to Congress to let them know that he wanted to pursue the Huma Abeden emails the Republicans use that against Sec. Clinton.
