Isikoff: FBI still has no warrant to review Abedin’s emails

Posted by | October 30, 2016 08:24 | Filed under: Politics


Michael Isikoff reports that the FBI has yet to obtain a warrant to see what emails might be relevant to Hillary Clinton.

When FBI Director James Comey wrote his bombshell letter to Congress on Friday about newly discovered emails that were potentially “pertinent” to the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private email server, agents had not been able to review any of the material, because the bureau had not yet gotten a search warrant to read them, three government officials who have been briefed on the probe told Yahoo News.

At the time Comey wrote the letter, “he had no idea what was in the content of the emails,” one of the officials said, referring to recently discovered emails that were found on the laptop of disgraced ex-Rep. Anthony Weiner, the estranged husband of top Clinton aide Huma Abedin. Weiner is under investigation for allegedly sending illicit text messages to a 15-year-old girl.

As of Saturday night, the FBI was still in talks with the Justice Department about obtaining a warrant that would allow agency officials to read any of the newly discovered Abedin emails, and therefore was still in the dark about whether they include any classified material that the bureau has not already seen.

“We do not have a warrant,” a senior law enforcement official said. “Discussions are under way [between the FBI and the Justice Department] as to the best way to move forward.”

That Comey and other senior FBI officials were not aware of what was in the emails — and whether they contained any material the FBI had not already obtained — is important because Donald Trump’s campaign and Republicans in Congress have suggested that the FBI director would not have written his letter unless he had been made aware of significant new emails that might justify reopening the investigation into the Clinton server.

But a message that Comey wrote to all FBI agents Friday seeking to explain his decision to write the controversial letter strongly hinted that investigators did not not yet have legal authority establishing “probable cause” to review the content of Abedin’s emails on Weiner’s electronic devices…

Comey’s letter to Congress has subjected the FBI director to withering criticism. Top Justice Department officials were described by a government source as “apoplectic” over the letter. Senior officials “strongly discouraged” Comey from sending it, telling FBI officials last week it would violate longstanding department policy against taking actions in the days before an election that might influence the outcome, a U.S official familiar with the matter told Yahoo News. “He was acting independently of the guidance given to him,” said the U.S. official.

    What the hell are they trying to do, drag this thing out through the rest of the election cycle? How incompetent is our government?

      This is not incompetence…this is downright ratfucking…by the republicans…Only half of our government is willfully corrupt, and willfully ignoring their Oath of Office…that would be the republicans, all of them…

    we don’t have time for is all that petty punk-ass little thuggery stuff that’s been going on with those quote-unquote republicans who are doing nothing but wasting our time time . https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/1feb391f268081a120fbb8c26f2eb0758b9ae1a91271bccad9ad0e58329d0342.jpg

      And don’t forget about the 3 million times they attempted to repeal Obamacare, with no hope of succeeding, and nothing to replace it. Because that’s easier than actually doing their job.

      • boss October 30th, 2016 at 13:12

        If ACA had not screwed America, we could have had serious reform.
        Now that ACA is imploding before our eyes, a system that works might be established.

        • Comicus October 30th, 2016 at 14:03

          What would that be? The GOP has had years to design a better one. I await your answer.

          • boss October 30th, 2016 at 20:44

            Drop state lines to open competition. Creat individual tax deductible health savings accounts. Keep some of the ACA requirements but scrape most of it.
            If you are wondering how to insure people who are uninsured, creat a VA type system for those people only. Let them wait in line like Vets do.
            Spend the saved money on VA hospitals.
            Instead Obama made a radical change that was doomed to fail before enacted, it was financially unsustainable…the question is why would a President do something like that?

            • bpollen October 30th, 2016 at 22:31

              The “crossing state lines” right-wing mantra. That’ll do it. Just like bleeding the patient cures cancer.

                  That’s exactly right. The crossing state lines mantra is nonsense.

                  Care to show HOW that would solve everything? Congress couldn’t, but some troll who has to pump up his ego by calling himself “boss” can? Pshaw.

                    Got it…so when Bruce Springsteen calls himself The Boss you run off at the mouth trying to interpret what his reasons are.
                    To answer your question, when I was finding insurance companies years ago, I was able to access insurers in different states who gave us the same coverage for half the premium. Its called supply and demand. Deep down, you know that is true but your ideology prevents you from admitting that one truth.
                    One thing I have noticed at far left website is how many of you guys start labeling people when you can not defend your own position. Out comes the name calling and it show your true colors.
                    I must admit that insurance companies thought this ACA would be a windfall. Having a Government that forces everyone to buy their product. What they did not plan on is the enormous cost caused from lack of participation. Which is why we are witnessing the implosion of ACA.

                    • bpollen October 31st, 2016 at 16:04

                      Still not providing actual facts.

                      7 out of 10 can get insurance for $75 or less per month. 8 out of 10 for less than $100 dollars a month. And millions of people have insurance that would have been denied them otherwise. The free-market failed, but we should dump what IS and hope that THIS time the market will work?

                    • boss October 31st, 2016 at 16:07

                      The only reason for 100 premiums is because people like me are subsidizing the true cost.
                      Only I am not playing along anymore. Who are you going to run to when Government runs out of other peoples money?

                    • bpollen October 31st, 2016 at 16:10

                      STILL NO FACTS.

            • Comicus October 30th, 2016 at 22:36

              Why would a Democratic President adopt a Republican health care plan? That is the real mystery. We should have went with a public option(like your VA idea) or maybe even single payer, like the rest of the world, who do not have our astronomical health care costs as a result.
              Republicans won’t spend money on the VA now. What makes you believe that will change? They support the troops when they send them off to kill people in other countries, but not so much when they come home.

              • boss October 31st, 2016 at 12:08

                Romneycare was a failure.
                Democrats own the war in the Middle East.

                • Comicus October 31st, 2016 at 20:12

                  We inherited it from Republicans. Don’t you worry, though. We’ll fix your mess again.

                    You did not inherit squat. that is a made up narrative.
                    You will not fix anything without other people paying for it.
                    You must be a snowflake… a sensitive little powder puff.
                    I will really enjoy watching guys like you beg for more help except no one will be there to fall for the lies a second time.

            • SeattleGuy October 31st, 2016 at 11:15

              How will that insure as many ppl and hold costs down? There is nothing to keep costs down in any of the Republicans proposals. And why doesn’t the Republican party put that forward? What are they hiding?

              The VA type system is a single payer plan similar to HillaryCare. I’m glad you finally realize that the Democrats have the best plan. Let’s get behind swapping the RomneyCare plan for Sander’s Medicare for All, then.

              • boss October 31st, 2016 at 12:04

                VA for uninsured only…or did you miss that part. That way those free loaders can wait in line like the Vets…which is another topic. People who risk lives have worse insurance than millennials who want a hand out.
                ACA might work if all you young kids would sign up and stop taking subsidies designed to help the truly poor.

                • SeattleGuy October 31st, 2016 at 19:50

                  For less than we pay for the 90% of Americans that have health insurance now, we could have a much better system like Switzerland’s with far better outcomes.

                  “U.S. Healthcare Ranked Dead Last Compared To 10 Other Countries

                  It’s fairly well accepted that the U.S. is the most expensive healthcare system in the world, but many continue to falsely assume that we pay more for healthcare because we get better health (or better health outcomes). The evidence, however, clearly doesn’t support that view.”

                  http://www.forbes.com/sites/danmunro/2014/06/16/u-s-healthcare-ranked-dead-last-compared-to-10-other-countries/#398093411b96

                  You don’t realize that the freeloaders you talk about are either too poor or have lost their jobs thru no fault of their own. Besides, I’m a Christian. We are better than that.

                  “Here’s the short answer: Freeloading isn’t freedom.

                  Hospitals have to treat everyone who walks in their door. So let’s say a Missourian — we’ll call him Joe Defiant — decides he’s not going to purchase health insurance, no matter what Uncle Sam says. He’s young, he’s healthy, and he’d rather buy an iPad than pay into an insurance policy.

                  But then Joe wrecks his car and lands in the nearest hospital emergency room. The staff will patch him up. They’ll keep him a couple of days for observation if necessary.

                  Chances are Joe doesn’t have enough money to pay a hospital bill that could easily climb into the tens of thousands of dollars. So the hospital will bear the cost, and recoup some of it from the federal government, and from charging insurance firms higher rates — which they, of course, pass on to policyholders.”

                    All these countries where the healthcare system works have 10% of the population that America has.
                    They were also had very homogeneous societies with sincere cultures until the recent globalist ideology has ruined what used to be good in those countries.
                    Cultural diversity has caused problems that make socialism unsustainable.
                    I have studied the Bible for 30 years. No where do I see that we as Christians must bow down to the wishes of a secular Government and help people who you would not cast a pearl. I have no problems helping those who I desire to help, not who you demand that I help and on the side use the Lord to justify your belief.
                    Your scenario of Joe is not totally accurate. If Joe is in a car wreck, are you assuming the car has no insurance to provide care for the occupants? Even so, we can not be totally responsible for everyone who makes bad decisions. ACA rewards people who have avoided being responsible and shifts the financial strain on people who can afford it.
                    If this system is so great why is it imploding? I’ve asked many of you on the Left and all I get is scenario’s like Joe thrown at me.
                    When I was growing up, insurance was 60 per month at Kaiser in mid 70’s. What would that be now indexed for inflation?Today’s calculation would be approx 360.00 per month. Yet all I hear is how the young people want to pay less.
                    If you guys would pay adjusted for inflation what we did back in the day, this system might work. But you don’t, you want to be pampered and subsidized so you can go buy things.
                    Do you think we never faced situations where we lost employment and had to scramble to pay our next bill?
                    Maybe Socialism works for you, I’m not a fan of Government dictating my life.

                    • SeattleGuy November 1st, 2016 at 01:45

                      We are not a socialist country. We are a representative republic with many collective institutions. We’re not of one religion. Our founders fled Europe to escape religious persecution. Our constitution calls for the separation of church and state.

                      The ACA simply addresses hc insurance for the poor who cannot afford to pay our highly expensive rates. It is a bad law. It is a conservative idea in response to Hillary’s single payer plan in 1992.

                      I am all for throwing it out and replacing it with a single payer, universal plan to cover basic needs and a robust for-profit private plan for personal add ons. That’s what is working for Switzerland.

                      I called on Kaiser for many years. It is a pretty decent plan. They have done polls showing that the majority of patients want a single payer plan to reduce their costs thru competition among providers.

                      The ACA is NOT IMPLODING. That’s Republican spin. You really need to do more research. I can tell a right wing smear job in 2 seconds. You seem to think repeating a lie over and over makes it true. NOT!

                    • boss November 1st, 2016 at 11:01

                      The spin is you guys on the Left repeating over and over that ACA is a Republican idea.
                      If…think about this, if ACA was a conservative idea, why was Hillary denied in 92 and why did ACA pass with ZERO republican/conservative votes.
                      Mitt Romney tried to do something as Governor of MA but his creation was not received well and was failing.
                      ACA will fail as it is unsustainable. Any time a Government showers a society with free money, the economy and programs will flourish. When the money spigot stop producing, thing fall back to a level worse than they would have been if the free market of supply and demand was allowed the work.
                      Some generation in the future will pay dearly for decisions ade today.

                      Hiilarycare in ’92 was a single payer plan similar to Canada’s. The Heritage Fdn. countered it with what became Romneycare which was the model for Obamacare or the ACA.

                      You don’t even know what socialism is from your posts. The ACA is delivered by private physicians, hospitals, nurses, and other providers. How is that socialism? The government has to own the institutions and directly employ the doctors for that to be true. It doesn’t with the ACA. DUH!

                      Those that don’t buy insurance become a burden to taxpayers as I have pointed out. Why do cons like freeloaders? Why champion those who don’t pay their fair share?

                    • boss November 1st, 2016 at 10:45

                      Yeah and if YOU paid your fair share, people who really need help would not struggle.
                      I have been paying into the system long before you were a around to demand guys like me pay for people like you.
                      Sorry…SeattleGuy, you are on your own with this one. Maybe you will start to pay your fair share some day. Because I will not help enable guys like you who want a free ride.
                      Like I told you before, the premiums I paid in the mid 70’s is equal to 360 per month now. Why do you feel entitled to be subsidized.
                      Your view of Government ownership is Communism. Althought both systems are closely related.

                      You complained about premiums going up in your area and then you said you don’t purchase HC insurance because you’re young and don’t think you need it. That’s the very reason insurance premiums are going up this year, too many millennials are not joining up and thus the insurance companies have to raise premiums to cover the higher costs that this causes. Duh!

                      Already told you, Drop state restrictions, open competition. Allow tax deductible health saving accounts. Have a VA type system for people who are uninsured. This way the uninsured will get to see how veterans are treated.
                      The rest of us can purchase a plan that is designed for us individually not some one size fits all monstrosity.
                      As an example, I don’t need maternity or ambulance. Nor do I need drug coverage.
                      Yet you think I should pay for coverage I do not want or need.

                      “This way the uninsured will get to see how veterans are treated”.
                      I am retired military.
                      On 9-15-2016 I had surgery.
                      The bill was 10409.90 (that was just the surgery the pre radiology stuff and the post op care. I went home the same day). My share was 25 dollars.
                      Also.
                      I have five physicians. a family Dr. Two surgeons, an oncologist and a dermatologist. Each time I see one it’s a 12 dollar co-pay (ten dollars if I pay right away). I don’t take medication of any kind, but the meds I was offered after the surgery would have cost me 5.75 cents. Your straw man story about the VA and veterans care is as valid as the right wing tales of FEMA camps, death panels and Sharia law.

                    • boss October 31st, 2016 at 18:55

                      And if you love the VA then you should be happy to provide a VA type system for the uninsured…so again, what is your beef.
                      Now I am calling you out to give me an intelligent answer.

                    • William October 31st, 2016 at 22:39

                      I don’t get VA care. I get TRICARE. I am a retired veteran. The very first thing you Trumpanzees need to learn is something about the actual issues you are talking about. No surprise. You spout unqualified and untrue statements about veterans affairs as you cheer on a draft dodger who called a POW a loser for getting captured. Perhaps you might now understand why veterans roll their eyes and leave the conversation when you try to talk about veterans issues.

                    • boss November 1st, 2016 at 11:28

                      Do not care what you get. You are subsidized buy tax payers for your service.
                      ACA subsidies are for people who never served…big difference.
                      This country can send all the uninsured into you TRICARE or VA, would that make you happy.
                      Most people roll their eyes when vets complain… like you… about things you do not have to pay for.
                      This country creates wars and you do not know why we are fighting.
                      How many do you know who fought in Vietnam?

                      You have no clue what you are talking about with a debunked “draft dodger” narrative.
                      Here is Politifact

                      http://www.politifact.com/punditfact/article/2015/jul/21/was-trump-draft-dodger/

                      You Libs run around thinking your so righteous when in truth, you rarely know the facts outside of MSM.
                      Hillary is more inclined to start a military conflict than Trump, why would you support that?

                    • William November 1st, 2016 at 17:30

                      First. Learn the difference between buy and bye.

                      Second. You have no idea concerning the details of VA or TRICARE. You’re a non veteran (who likes to pretend he understands veteran affairs)

                      Third. Seriously. The hysterical part of the article was the contention that Commander McCain was flying a “Dive bomber” (Those went out after WWII, Commander McCain was flying the diminutives A-4 Skyhawk attack aircraft, but never mind it’s a veteran thing, you wouldn’t understand) The article DID show Donald’s draft paper paperwork. The article did not deny Trumps draft dodger status, but it did provide the paperwork that confirmed his four deferments for school, then another *giggle* medical deferment for a bone spur that was on a foot he doesn’t recall.

                      The article confirms my assertion, that Trump was a draft dodger
                      https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/aa8bbc12d49b068c2cb8a85b58a4d54b1d556f49274edb9687935272734b7ce1.jpg “Until recently, the only detail on record about that shift was it was medically related. After his comments about McCain, Trump said it had to do with bone spurs in his heels. Trump reportedly was active in college sports, playing baseball, tennis and squash.
                      Forth. You have no idea what Hillary would involve us in militarily. They both supported the Iraq invasion. The difference is Hillary admits it was a mistake, Trump denies he was for it, even in the face of taped evidence. He’s a pathological liar who won’t man up to his mistakes.

                    • boss November 1st, 2016 at 18:22

                      Even when a fact is proven to you, the spin starts.
                      I reported for the draft back when we had a draft. My number was 280. Do you know what that means?
                      Pretending to understand this article and spinning does not qualify you to be an expert at anything. Stop the spin a the term dive bomber and your pompous attitude.
                      Hillary wants a no fly zone over Syria. Since you like to boast about the fact that you are a veteran, how do you think she will accomplish that?
                      Even Politifact is wrong in your eyes, there is really no hope for you. You appear to be the pathological liar even when faced with a fact.
                      Finally, you need to learn the difference between buy , bye and by

                    • William November 1st, 2016 at 18:32

                      You didn’t prove anything. You merely saved me the trouble of digging out the file of Trumps 5 draft deferments by pointing out a link to the very document. You even reinforced my contention with your “Punditfact” link. and yes I am an expert concerning Naval aircraft and their missions. It’s what I did for twenty years. In fact I worked on A-4’s in “A” school right after boot camp. It’s a very cool aircraft. In fact the only Naval aircraft supported aboard ship that was so small it didn’t even have folding wings. No I don’t know or care what your draft number was. I (like John McCain) volunteered. No fly zones are enforced by denying other aircraft access to the airspace through air superiority. It’s quite simple. Please favor us all with more of your military expertise.

                    • boss November 1st, 2016 at 18:39

                      Right…and you think Russia will just lay down after they have agreed with Syria to have a permanent base in Syria.

                      You might actually be dumber than your candidate who thinks a president can repeal a Constitutional amendment or the Constitution has 12 articles.
                      Air superiority isn’t even a hard concept…unless of course you think “dive bombers” are still a thing. Do tell me more. This is entertaining.

                      You think spending time in the military on a ship qualifies you for strategy.
                      The A-4 was a bomber. Do you want to spin that too.
                      Those articles do not talk about military “tactics”, they show that Russia already has a permanent base in Syria. You think all America needs to do is have a Navel presence and American air superiority will save the day…Russia can not fight back! We are better!
                      So, in essence you proved my point. Hillary is a war hawk.
                      Only a fool under estimates his opponent.
                      Good thing you spent your military career out of harms way. You would have been out classed on the field.

                      You seem to think America has not lost it superiority and no other nation is equal to us.
                      Technology has advanced at a rate you may not be aware but America is not capable of enforcing a no fly zone over Syria with out starting another war…that is what is disturbing. Years ago Democrats were the anti war, now according to you, we could just force our will on whoever.
                      You support a person willing to do just that. She has vocally said so.

                      “Democrats want a perverted husband as a best man in the WH”. Are you intoxicated, or just so in such a seething rage over your party and it’s demise that you cannot form a coherent sentence? Newsflash Skippy…..Bill Clinton isn’t running for office. Hillary is, and her record is squeaky clean. I Actually I listened to the tape of that so called rape incident. It never went to trial. Know why? The evidence was mishandled. Hillary was laughing at the way the crime lab handled the evidence. They cut a piece of the suspects underwear and tested it. When she asked for the evidence during discovery, the prosecutor couldn’t furnish it. The suspect got off with time served. The right wing contention that she defended a rapist and then laughed about it is a myth. (Google is your friend).

                      Your rant listed no facts, no link to any actual proven allegations, nothing. Just right wing BS and Limbaugh talking points. Trump on the other hand is actually going to be tried for his fake University, and will need to defend himself for the alleged rape of a 13 year old. That is actually happening. Tramp has actually been sued for discrimination by the NY attorney generals office (twice). Trump has actually paid out hundreds of lawsuits and has more pending. Trump has actually hired undocumented workers. Trump has actually lost nearly a billion in one year due to mismanagement and being a terrible businessman. Trump actually bragged and admitted to being a sex offender. These are easily verified. Each and every allegation. You on the other hand simply list unverified innuendo. Then you have the unmitigated gall to wonder why your party is dead.https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/ab01e1ec8c44853f9808373ae783a26fc77297eb21b96fd09fd91a234f3adc50.jpg

                      You mean people who never paid for insurance growing up. Then ended up with cancer and were provided free insurance at the expense of people who played by the rules and paid premiums for decades only to have their plans cancelled by a Government regulation. Are those the ones you feel ACA has helped? If so, I agree.

                    • whatthe46 October 31st, 2016 at 18:09

                      how do you know they never had insurance. there are those who have had insurance but could not get the surgeries they needed because the ins. company claimed it was a pre-existing illness. changed to ACA and got the care they needed. and millions were unable to even afford insurance because the rates were to high, now have the insurance since it’s now affordable. and the insurance company cancelled them that’s not the fault of ACA. and the insurance companies need regulations. 20 plus million have insurance and that’s great. you want ACA to end, then it sounds like you don’t give a damn about them.

          You are demonstrating willful ignorance. The ACA was the Republican plan. Duh!:

          “Not only did former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney admit that the law Republicans so love to revile did descend from his own Romneycare, but he allowed that it might actually be a good thing.

          Romney made the admission to The Boston Globe on Friday (h/t The Daily Beast) in an obituary for Staples founder Thomas Stemberg. From the Globe:

          Romney also credited Mr. Stemberg with persuading him to push for health care reform in Massachusetts when he was governor.

          “Without Tom pushing it, I don’t think we would have had Romneycare,” Romney said. “Without Romneycare, I don’t think we would have Obamacare. So, without Tom a lot of people wouldn’t have health insurance.”

                You don’t get it. Romney can say whatever he wants. Did Romneycare penalize people who did not purchase health insurance? Did Romneycare mandate that old people must pay for maternity coverage.
                Romneycare was also specific to one…one…one state.
                What Romney said is that ACA was BASED on his plan…so…what is your point?

                • SeattleGuy October 31st, 2016 at 11:11

                  So, you think HC would work without the mandate? That’s simply a poison pill inserted by HC insurance lobbyists to kill the bill, dummy. It has been tried at the state level without an mandate and all have failed.

                  Try running a casino, where you allow the gamblers to place their bets AFTER the wheel stops spinning on the roulette table. Who would ever bet before they knew the outcome? Who would purchase HC insurance until they got a catastrophic disease like cancer? Duh!

                  Conservative seem pretty ignorant about how insurance works. To keep rates low, you pool risk. That means as many ppl as possible must join in. How can you pool risk is no one participates? Duh!

                  Let’s talk about another of your foolish notions. How can 50 separate state HC plans be efficient or fair? And why would that help at all? States’ rights is code for selective as in discriminatory and it’s just right wing spin. There is absolutely no reason for it. The Federal government can do a much more efficient job of setting up fair HC insurance than small and backwards states. Republicans are all for states’ rights until they’re not as with the partisan SCOTUS decision to choose Bush against the will of voters in 2000.

                      For the same reason private pharma companies can raise their prices for unique drugs by 50% to 3000%. Because we have a for-profit HC insurance in the US and they raise their premiums whenever they want.

                      By the way did you finally give up trying to suggest Obamacare was NOT a product of RomneyCare? Do you now understand that any HC insurance plan necessitates a mandate to share risks and lower costs?

                      Do you really need me to explain why young ppl don’t want to purchase HC insurance? That’s easy. They the least likely age group to need insurance, but if you’re the one who self-insures and have that catastrophic accident, you lose. Any insurance is a bet against yourself.

                      Why do you think a young person can purchase a million dollars worth of life insurance for pennies on the dollar compared to someone 60 years old?

                      Are our military services, police departments, fire departments, school system, highways, airports socialist as well?

                      If Republicans really cared about our debt why did they run up the debt with bad legislation between 2003-2005? Wars, tax cuts and more government bureaucracy in the form of the TSA and Medicare Part D all cost money. Why did they purposely keep it out of their budgets? You’ve got to pay for your decisions and not leave them for the following administration to pay. Republicans talk a good story. They just don’t honor their principles.

                      Do I need to slow down even more for you?

                      That is amazing, you complain about Republicans increasing the debt in 03-05 which I agree with… Including the increases during Reagan which I was against. You see I am not a Republican in the sense you believe. However, I am very fiscally conservative and the debt your President has bestowed on the next generation is staggering. I was very much against any bail out knowing what will be the result.Obama has effectively convinced you that he is against war while causing conflicts ever since he took office and Hillary was his right hand yet you dismiss that this President has doubled the debt from Bush and extended the Middle East war…probably because he is a DEMOCRAT, your favorite type of politician.
                      You must be all in for NSA and TPP etc because Obama is a Dem. How about the ICANN deal, you are ok with that too because he’s a Dem.
                      You probably do not understand the effects of supply and demand and Government regulations which is the reason for many cost increases. If this Government really wanted to lower the cost of Drugs, they could change the laws regarding patent right…opening the market to generic drugs. But no…Dems are in bed with the Reps and the big money and you fall for it.
                      Your understanding is only a small part of what is happening.
                      This is not a good time to be young.
                      Do I need to slow down for you to digest your misunderstanding of what Government is doing.
                      THEY ARE BOTH THE SAME. You keep repeating the BS media explanation to make me think you know what is going on.
                      You will have to do this one on your own, my days of enabling people like you are finished. Actually it ended 6 year ago when Obama decided I need to help all you young people because life is so tough that we can not allow you to be responsible for yourself.
                      You sound young, that is not your fault. The quicker you realize that politicians do not care about you, your eyes will open.
                      Lastly, Obamacare is similar to Romney care, they are both failures. Enjoy your subsidized healthcare for as long as you can afford it.

                  You must not have read the article you posted. It says “Bay State officials are taking steps this week to junk central parts of their dysfunctional health insurance exchange — the model for President Barack Obama’s health care law — and merge with the federal enrollment site HealthCare.gov.” or what is known as Obamacare to cons.

                  http://www.politico.com/story/2014/05/massachusetts-romneycare-health-care-exchange-106362#ixzz4Og0VKOL9

                  They may have merged their state exchange, but not his plan. Here is yet another central point that you misunderstand. It DOES have a mandate:

                  “If ObamaCare Is So Bad, How Does RomneyCare Survive?

                  Every resident is required by law to have insurance, or pay a fine. To date, 99% of the state’s residents have health insurance, up from around 90% before healthcare reform.

                  As a result, the state, known as a world class medical center, has the most affordable healthcare insurance in the country. It’s healthcare costs are high, but that no longer impedes 99% of the state from having affordable coverage”

                    Read the entire article that explains how Romney was a failure just like ACA has become.

                      I have a government sponsored HC plan and I love it. It’s not socialized, though, you really don’t know what you’re talking about. No self respecting dictator would allow a private sector ownership of HC providers as we do in the US. Some cons are very confused about socialism. They are slow to figure things out.

                      Did you know that the VA is a single payer system?

                    BTW, key words…”dysfunctional health insurance exchange”.

        • bpollen October 30th, 2016 at 22:30

          You mean what started as Romneycare?

          Your claims of “serious reform” totally ignores reality. Republicans HELPING Americans who aren’t rich? Were you comatose the last almost 8 years?

          • boss October 31st, 2016 at 12:11

            Obama has been resident for 8 years. The first 2 years he had total control of both houses.
            How did that work for you?

            • bpollen October 31st, 2016 at 15:18

              Didn’t disprove my point. Just some BS deflection. WHEN have the Republicans, during the last 8 years, done something FOR the American people that isn’t based on bigotry, hysteria, or carrying water for the wealthy? And trying to allow people to engage in discrimination because of GAWD is bigotry, not help.

              Can’t actually provide facts to dispute what I say, can you?

              • boss October 31st, 2016 at 15:24

                Republicans have not been in power for 8 years. That is my point. Obama had both houses to do whatever he wanted…nothing was done. Now you want to blame republicans. Hope that works for you. Both parties are the same. Do nothing and cause division.
                What facts are you trying to boast about. What are you even trying to say. in other words, what is your point?

                • bpollen October 31st, 2016 at 15:26

                  So your point is to not answer. Noted.

                  Can’t prove that the Republicans have done ANYTHING to benefit the average American. Which makes your deflections rather, as Trump says, “Sad.”

                  • boss October 31st, 2016 at 15:45

                    Your point is that you have no point. Can’t prove that democrats have done anything so…likewise…Democrats have done NOTHING to benefit the average American.
                    This makes your deflections as Trump says, “sad”.

                    • bpollen October 31st, 2016 at 15:55

                      Still can’t answer the question, so more deflection. I asked YOU. YOU haven’t answered. You never asked me to prove SHITE about Dems.

                      Dickhead deflections.

                    • boss October 31st, 2016 at 15:56

                      Nice deflection

                    • bpollen October 31st, 2016 at 16:09

                      Cute. STILL haven’t answered.

  3. oldfart October 30th, 2016 at 10:52

    Put a fork in Comey, he’s done.

    • boss October 30th, 2016 at 13:08

      Put a fork in Hillary…ROFL

      • SeattleGuy October 30th, 2016 at 17:45

        Would you care to guess how many times my Republicans friends told me that?

        If I had a dollar……

        • boss October 30th, 2016 at 20:29

          Seattle, coolest city I’ve been to.
          Liberal but the young professionals are considering a world without Clinton.
          Im willing to wager that the Clinton Foundation will slowly cease it exist if Hillary loses. Without a close connection to the President, donators will withhold “funding”.
          It always amazes me that a statue of Lenin in Freemont is still there undamaged.

          • bpollen October 30th, 2016 at 22:27

            I’ll take your bet. Name your stakes and then we have to agree about a neutral party to hold our wagers (Let’s just say that your promise to pay has less credibility than you yourself do.)

            So, if Hillary loses, the Foundation will slowly “cease it exist.” The Foundation that has helped provide 9 MILLION people with affordable HIV/AIDS drugs. The Foundation with an “A” rating? The Foundation that spends 88% of it’s funds to charitable efforts? The Foundation that DOESN’T buy paintings of the namesake and pay personal and business debts? THAT foundation?

            What’s the wager, Miss Cleo?

            • boss October 31st, 2016 at 11:12

              Slowly ceaseing to exist could take years…so it would be difficult to seriously have a bet. Don’t act like a smart @ss.
              Much of the money that you boast about came from organizations looking for favors…
              The Clinton foundations does good things, so what…its suppose to. That foundation also made the Clintons very very wealthy.
              BTW, who is Miss Cleo?

          • SeattleGuy October 31st, 2016 at 01:31

            If you think Comey’s partisan attempt to influence the outcome of the election will keep voters from choosing her, I think you’re foolish. He is facing a charge of violating the Hatch Act. I’m pretty sure he has made his last mistake and in now on a path that will end his career.

            When she wins, she has already asserted she will cut her ties with the charity. She gets no compensation for it and it will continue to raise lots of money for great causes. Only partisan Republicans who are trying to deflect voters from looking at their record of non-accomplishment, think otherwise.

            • boss October 31st, 2016 at 11:21

              Obama is also facing violation of the Hatch Act by campaigning and endorsing Clinton.
              Incidentally, when did I say “Comey’s partisan attempt to influence the outcome of the election will keep voters from choosing her”?
              What I think is foolish is watching people under 35 vote for a politician with baggage like Clinton’s. The old saying that if you do not know your history you are doomed to repeat it… is true.
              Comey was the Democrat darling when he refused to prosecute serious violations from Hillary, now he is a partisan hack because he realizes hat he can no longer protect Hillary and must do his job.

  4. labman57 October 30th, 2016 at 12:31

    Republican Party to Comey:
    Thank you for the assist.
    Sure it was politically-motivated and totally irresponsible … but we desperately needed it.

    • whatthe46 November 1st, 2016 at 01:46

      and all it did was backfired.

  5. boss October 30th, 2016 at 13:07

    Same thing happen the weekend before 1992 election day…and Hillary supported the news saying that Bush lied about contra. After the election, all charges were dropped against Bush.
    This time is different, Huma lied, Hillary lied and now we get to realize it before voting. Couple months ago Hillary and Democrats were jumping for joy when Comey said there was no intent. We all knew that was BS. Now Hillary and Democrats want Comeys head.
    Will Huma disappear like so many others who expose Clinton?

    • Larry Schmitt October 30th, 2016 at 13:09

      Yes, she will have her killed like she did all her other enemies. She will be Vince Fostered.

    • bpollen October 30th, 2016 at 22:16

      Conspiracy theories of Clinton the Assassin.

      Well, your credibilty (should you have EVER had any) is right out the window. To quote the light of the Republican Party: “Sad.”

      • boss October 31st, 2016 at 11:48

        Huma and Hillary lying is not a conspiracy.
        People disappearing or ending up dead who had close ties to Clinton is not a conspiracy.
