The FBI doesn't do anything flippantly. For them to open an investigation for a second time means they screwed up the first time. Have you ever been investigated by a Federal Agency? They don't like wasting their time, they always find something.
If they find nothing again, the whole country is going to have a fit.

Comey previously gave sworn testimony regarding the case. Under oath he stated that the FBI had completed its review. He is required by law to tell them if they review anything additional. The only thing we know is that there are emails pertinent to the investigation they are reviewing. There is no way to know whether they are good for Hillary, bad for Hillary or essentially unimportant. Every response from all sides regarding the letter has been pure speculation. Hell he never even said they were reopening the case.

Now I know why they call this the Spin Room. Yeah, this could actually be Good for Mrs. Clinton.

Read the letter. It says literally nothing other than there are emails that were found that are pertinent. Everything else in this 5 page thread is people speculating about how this will destroy Clinton. Since the letter (which director was under legal obligation to send) we've found out a few things about these emails:
1) Not from Hillary
2) Not from her sever
3) Not from her investigation
4) Gathered in Anthony Weiner investigation.

Wake me when we actual know something.
Pertinent to what? The investigation into Hillary and her emails. Since it was closed with no finding against her, why would you re-open it if there were not additional questions/new evidence that might bring that conclusion into question?
Maybe it doesn't change the outcome... but obviously the first blush by those in charge thinks it could.
I think the most likely outcome is another 'we can't prove it' finding, but this isn't good news for her.

Okay, bearcat, let's assume it's not from or about HRC (although again, it makes no sense to me that it wouldn't be) so let's assume it has to Abedin and her supposed Saudi Arabian ties (again, I'm not ready to throw her under the bus yet) and her ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.
You don't think that Hillary's campaign manager/potential chief of staff / Press Secretary / whatever position she's been promised, isn't going to go well with her campaign.
Basically she has almost unfettered access to Clinton and everything she did/does/discusses...That's not a "huge ass red flag" for the competency of Clinton and the people she surrounds herself with?
I mean I can't see this being about Pedosta, I can't see this being about Brock... I can't even see this being about Mills (although it may be).
But if it were any of those people, there's no way she spins her way out of it, if there are any damning facts in there. Basically, if she wins the election before this is resolved, I almost guaran-damn-tee you, we'll be saying Hello "President Kaine".
