Not quite: > the F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, said that emails had surfaced in an unrelated case, and that they “appear to be pertinent to the investigation.” > Mr. Comey said the F.B.I. was taking steps to “determine whether they contain classified information, as well as to assess their importance to our investigation.” He said he did not know how long it would take to review the emails, or whether the new information was significant. They are relevant to the investigation almost by definition, but they may not be criminal or significant. That the FBI is admitting to their existence so prematurely is interesting -- is Comey trying to avoid the accusations of politicization by being up-front that they found something, even before he can really describe what it is? His letter refers to previous testimony that the case was closed and he seems to not want to be caught "lying" now -- but if it truly was closed and truly was just re-opened, it wasn't a lie. Is he getting ahead of presumed leaks from the FBI that would have started rumors that he was suppressing/spinning something? Funny that he's been called a Clinton shill, yet throws Trump a bone days before the election -- "Hey everyone, we found more stuff! We'll let you know if it's bad as soon as we can. Feel free to speculate and grandstand in the meantime." Or is it fishy that the resumed investigation might conveniently stall until after the election?
