Critical Update: Even before this story broke, the ABC/WaPost tracking poll that gave Hillary a 12 point advantage, last week, shows Hillary with a disappointing 2 point lead, today.
Carl Bernstein, one of the principle reporters into the Watergate scandal, took time to comment on the latest events, on Friday.
He believes the FBI decided to reopen its investigation based on something so "large" that silence was no longer an option.
We don't know what this means yet except that it's a real bombshell. And
it is unthinkable that the Director of the FBI would take this action
lightly, that he would put this letter forth to the Congress of the
United States saying there is more information out there about
classified e-mails and call it to the attention of congress unless it
was something requiring serious investigation.
Also, he believes there may be more of this late breaking "bombshell" (Bernstein's word) coming down the pike.
Right now we're all talking in a vacuum but I want to add here that in
the last, oh, 36, 48 hours, there has been an undercurrent of kind of
speculative discussion among some national security people that
something might surface in the next few days about e-mails, and I think
the expectation in this chatter -- and I took it as just chatter but
informed chatter, to some extent -- was that it would relate to another
round of WikiLeaks e-mails, which our Justice Department people seem to
be saying is not the case, but there has been some noise in the national
security community the last day or two of this kind of possibility of
some kind of revelation.
Understand that this FBI story has already buried the good news about the economy (GDP report of yesterday at 2.9%) . . . . . hardly a mention of this news yesterday, in the corporate media. Dana Perino, GW Bush's press secretary, told Fox and Friends Saturday morning, that the news cycle for such a breaking story (talking about the FBI story) is 10 days, which, of course, takes us to November 8.
