Just put the FoxNews/Hannity/Gateway Pundit reefer down for a second and think this through. Why would the FBI, if it was in cahoots with Obama and Clinton and wanted to tilt the election to Hillary, publicly announce days before the election that she was back under investigation and keep completely under wraps that there was an ongoing investigation of the Trump campaign for Russian interference. The narrative makes zero sense and you know it. The FBI wanted Hillary to lose the election so that it could then manufacture dirt on Trump in order to impeach him? It's simply a ludicrous theory that can't make sense of the most basic facts.
Because the NYPD and/or NYC FBI field office demanded the FBI re-open the investigation or they were going to go public with criminal charges & investigations for the "insurance policy" files that were found on Anthony Weiner's laptop.
You need to start considering the evidence against Hillary, Obama and the bureaucrats that are being implicated.
These are not Russian bots on Twitter - these are high level people in the DOJ, FBI, CIA, DNI that have weaponized the government for political gain.

The list could go on and on. Get familiar with this case - it will help you understand what is being reported (mostly spin & misdirection) and deal with the truth once it is revealed.
So you think they really did that huh? Man are you gullible. You must be young. And as an IT Guy, I just may know a little more than you think - Like how to tie data together and build relational databases on massive amounts of data.
Ok, for the sake of argument let's suppose that the FBI was dead set on getting Hillary elected. First, Comey could have just made the standard announcement upon closing the initial Hillary investigation. Instead, he publicly chastised her. That was outside of FBI norms. How was that a pro-Hillary move? Second, wouldn't the FBI have just stayed silent on the reopening of the Hillary investigation? If they hadn't publicly acknowledged it, there would have been unconfirmed leaks that she was being investigated again. That would have been less damaging to her than the public statement was. Third, why wouldn't they have announced that they had opened an investigation into whether the Trump campaign had been compromised by Russia. Don't you think that would have helped Hillary?
Explain how you can take these known data points and spin them into a coherent theory that the FBI was working to elect Hillary.
Its not a coincidence that the FBI leaked to The NY Times & WaPo the night b4 the royal wedding that they spied on the Trump campaign.
Does it ever amaze you the number of business and legal lightweights who think a spreadsheet and a database are the same? I watched one of my partners in a business (a lawyer) take a data file I exported from Access to Excel for him do a sort on one column - leaving everything else right where it was, so the main identifier pointed to all the wrong information. Fortunately I was standing there when he did it and knew what happened, but people learn on spreadsheets and think they can do anything. My biggest shock - having never used Excel - was that you could actually re-sort a column without correspondingly moving the related information which to me remains completely insane, and one of many reasons why I never trust statistics that come from outside the scientific community.
BigOrangeD and Weezer have both explained it, and others of us have explained it in other threads. The FBI laundered Hiliary before the election. They did a quick rinse, washed off the top layer of grime, and "found" nothing of substance. They then pronounced her fit. See we did our best and found a mistake on her part ... but no big deal, she's whitewashed and ready to go. Realize it's insider/outsider and not R/D, and it's so much easier to understand.
Following two weeks of mounting speculation over the FBI's so-called "mole" inside the Trump campaign, the New York Times and Washington Post published separate accounts on Friday detailing the infiltration of the Trump campaign - a scheme revealed in a Wednesday report by the New York Times in which "at least one government informant met several times with Mr. Page and Mr. Papadopoulos." The Wednesday report also disclosed the existence of "Operation Crossfire Hurricane" - the FBI's code name for their early Trump-Russia investigation.
Thanks to Friday's carefully crafted deep-state disclosures by WaPo and the Times, along with actual reporting by the Daily Caller's Chuck Ross, we now know it wasn't a mole at all - but 73-year-old University of Cambridge professor Stefan Halper, a US citizen, political veteran and longtime US Intelligence asset enlisted by the FBI to befriend and spy on three members of the Trump campaign during the 2016 US election.
While Halper's name remains undisclosed by the NYT and WaPo, a quick read of all three articles linked above makes it abundantly clear that the "American academic who teaches in Britain" described by The Times, who "met several times with Mr. Page and Mr. Papadopoulos" is none other than Halper - whose meetings with the Trump aides were revealed by the Daily Caller's Chuck Ross in late March.
Two months before the 2016 election, George Papadopoulos received a strange request for a meeting in London, one of several the young Trump adviser would be offered and he would accept during the presidential campaign.
The meeting request, which has not been reported until now, came from Stefan Halper, a foreign policy expert and Cambridge professor with connections to the CIA and its British counterpart, MI6.
Halpers September 2016 outreach to Papadopoulos wasnt his only contact with Trump campaign members. The 73-year-old professor, a veteran of three Republican administrations, met with two other campaign advisers, The Daily Caller News Foundation learned. -Daily Caller
These contacts are notable, as Halper's infiltration of the Trump campaign corresponds with the two of the four targets of the FBI's Operation Crossfire Hurricane - in which the agency sent counterintelligence agent Peter Strzok and others to a London meeting in the Summer of 2016 with former Australian diplomat Alexander Downer - who says Papadopoulos drunkenly admitted to knowing that the Russians had Hillary Clinton's emails.
...
We can't imagine he thought his legacy would be cast as the man who infiltrated the Trump campaign in what is shaping up to be the largest political corruption scandal in the history of the United States, which of course would have been swept under the rug had Hillary simply won the election as all the "experts" predicted.
