Clinton says she won't be 'knocked off course' in final week

By JULIE PACE and KEN THOMAS

 

WILTON MANORS, Fla. (AP) — Hillary Clinton vowed Sunday that she would not be "knocked off course" in the election's final days, as she sought to push past a new FBI email inquiry in a sexting probe that delivered a late jolt to her race against Republican Donald Trump.

 

"I'm not stopping now, we're just getting warmed up," Clinton declared during a packed rally with gay and lesbian supporters in battleground Florida. "We're not going to be distracted, no matter what our opponents throw at us."

 

Trump campaigned in Las Vegas at a casino owned by billionaire GOP megadonor Sheldon Adelson and accused the Justice Department, without offering evidence, of trying to protect Clinton following the FBI's discovery of new emails that could be related to its investigation into Clinton's use of a private email server.

 

"Hillary has nobody but herself to blame for her mounting legal problems," Trump said during a rally.

 

Clinton's advisers and fellow Democrats pressured FBI Director James Comey anew to release more details about the emails, including whether Comey had even reviewed them himself. The message was aimed at gathering more information about what the bureau is seeking from a computer that appears to belong to disgraced former New York Rep. Anthony Weiner, the estranged husband of Huma Abedin, one of Clinton's closest advisers.

 

Tim Kaine, Clinton's running mate, said Comey owed it to the public to be more forthcoming about the emails under review by the FBI with only nine days remaining before the Nov. 8 election. Calling Comey's announcement "extremely puzzling," Kaine said that if Comey "hasn't seen the emails, I mean they need to make that completely plain."

 

Clinton's campaign chairman, John Podesta, said Comey's handling of the matter was "inappropriate."

 

Clinton made unannounced stops Sunday in Florida at an early voting location, a Miami brunch spot and a soul food restaurant. She also addressed a predominantly black church, where she spoke of overcoming disappointments.

 

"Scripture tells us to rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance and endurance produces character," she said. "And character produces hope."

 

Clinton made no direct mention of the new FBI investigation, which has created anxiety among Democrats. But while she criticized the FBI for a lack of transparency during a campaign appearance on Saturday, she tried to shift her attention back to Trump on Sunday, casting him as a selfish billionaire with a striking lack of empathy.

 

Speaking to LGBT supporters in Wilton Manors, she seized on a Washington Post report about Trump appearing at a fundraiser for children with HIV and pretending to be a donor, though he never gave money to the charity.

 

"It's always Donald Trump first and everyone else last," she said.

 

Comey's actions Friday have roiled the White House race, energizing Trump as polls had showed him sliding and unnerving Democrats worried about the presidency and down-ballot congressional races. In a letter to Congress on Friday, Comey said the FBI had recently come upon new emails while pursuing an unrelated case and was reviewing whether they were classified.

 

The FBI is looking into whether there was classified information on a device belonging to Weiner. Federal authorities in New York and North Carolina are investigating online communications between Weiner and a 15-year-old girl.

 

The developments prompted Trump to quip to his Las Vegas supporters, "We never thought we were going to say 'thank you' to Anthony Weiner," he said.

 

A law enforcement official said Sunday that FBI investigators in the Weiner sexting probe knew for weeks about the existence of newly discovered emails that might be relevant to the Clinton email investigation. The official was not authorized to discuss the matter by name and spoke on condition of anonymity.

 

Comey said he was briefed Thursday about that development and told Congress on Friday that investigators had found the emails. A second law enforcement official also said the FBI was aware for a period of time about the emails before Comey was briefed, but the second official wasn't more specific.

 

Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway said Comey was in "an impossible spot" when he acknowledged the FBI was looking into the messages. "Had he sat on the information, one can argue that he also would be interfering in the election," by failing to disclose the review, Conway said.

 

The controversy over Clinton's email practices while she served as secretary of state has dogged her for more than a year.

 

Late Saturday, four senior Democratic senators urged the Justice Department and the FBI to provide more detailed information by Monday about what investigative steps are being taken, the number of emails involved and what is being done to determine how many of the emails are duplicative of those already reviewed by the FBI.

 

The letter went to Comey and Attorney General Loretta Lynch from Sens. Ben Cardin of Maryland, Tom Carper of Delaware, Patrick Leahy of Vermont and Dianne Feinstein of California.

 

Kaine appeared on ABC's "This Week," Podesta and Conway were on CNN's "State of the Union."

Indeed.

650,000 more emails found on T-Dog's computer?

She's toast, boys...

[jaidam]

Have to hand it to her, she certainly has some front. After months of attracting crowds smaller than your average express checkout counter at the deli, she claims she wont be 'knocked off course" now that justice finally appears to be imminent. Knock is really the wrong word. There will be no knocks. There will however be plenty of slamming, chains clinking, and plenty of verbal abuse as she finds out her rank in the cellblock.

That is a LOT of possible evidence of her crimes and Wiki leaks has lots more material.

As Trump has been quoted:  "Hillary is as tough as a $3.00 steak."

That certainly appears to be the case.

Record breaking!

 

The usual suspects were on this one within minutes of the posting.

 

But as usual, they are far behind... 

 

FBI discovered Clinton-related emails weeks ago

 

"The FBI stumbled upon a trove of emails from one of Hillary Clinton's top aides weeks ago,

law enforcement officials told CNN Sunday."

 

"But FBI Director James Comey didn't disclose the discovery until Friday,

raising questions about why the information was kept under wraps and then released only days before the election."

 

"The computer in question is considered to belong to Weiner."

YOU are the one who is far behind. All that info has already been discussed on different threads. 

[dcutman]

I think he was the last Clinton supporter to try and make an argument. Publicus even gave up with his election coup conspiracy theory.

These threads are gonna be real quiet, except for those with updates on the known fact the Clinton Crime Family has finally met its maker.

CLINTON HAD A BAD WEEK, BUT TRUMP IS STILL LAGGING

 

"With nine days to go until the Presidential election, Hillary Clinton remains the strong favorite. She’s ahead in the national polls,

and the early-voting figures are going in her direction."

 

"In the contest to amass two hundred and seventy votes in the Electoral College, her opponent, Donald Trump,

is where he’s been for some time now: holding a weak hand, and needing to pull an inside straight."

 

"Other recent polls have confirmed the same message: voters have issues with Clinton, but they have bigger issues with Trump:

He still has the highest unfavorable ratings of any Presidential candidate in recent history, and he still has a huge credibility problem."

Sorry to disappoint you, but the media just started reporting Hillary's HUGE new problem. The polls will not catch up until midweek.

Here is a link to that WP story. DT thinks just by showing up uninvited that he is generous. The man lives in his own bubble that is for sure. He tries to attach himself to the charity just by physical proximity only...no donation. Sad. So Sad.

 

Trump boasts about his philanthropy. But his giving falls short of his words.

Can anyone tell us what speaking engagements President Obama and his wife Michelle have lined up in support of the Hillary campaign? Word has it they've all been cancelled, I'd like some sources to confirm or refute this.

By Monday the way this story is developing,  there is a very good chance that disreputable website might become more reputable or at least accurate.

If the community organizer wants to rearrange the deck chairs on the Titanic then fair enough.

State.gov emails were apparently found on Weiners laptop, a final week of campaigning is going to be a great big circus. Send in the clowns.

What I find most incredible is how little scrutiny has been given to Huma Abedin's Muslim brotherhood funded family, or for that matter large donations to the Clinton foundation from Saudi Arabia and Qatar. Wikileaks divulged it was Abedin who was instrumental in the setting up of Clinton's server. What could possibly go wrong?

Comey is playing both sides against the middle hoping the winner retains him as an "asset" Its an every man for himself world and he is no different.

According to Foxnews A. Weiner is going to spill the beans over Hillary's dirty laundry to the FBI. Now Johnson has more chance of election than she does.
