1.) let me state right from the outset that as an avowed pecimist, i fully expect comey to come out in a couple days and pull the rug out from under us, give anothe press conference and say "My bad, we really just wanted to take attention off wikileaks for a few days" and stick his tongue out at us. 

 

2.) That being said, if this isn't just a ploy by the left then this could actually be the straw that broke the Camels back.  By the letter of the law, the FBI could have recommended an indictment of SOS.  There are reports that a signifigant portion of the investigating agents wanted that recommendation.  The DOJ and the Obama administration OBVIOUSLY didn't want that to happen, the excuse given to the FBI leadership and rank and file was "No intent (even though not required by statute) and that the Clinton team DID NOT LIE to the FBI."  The biggest part of the Abedin revelation isn't that there is a smoking gun e-mail that links Clinton to the Kennedy assassination, it's that She testified to the FBI that she didn't have anymore documents and that she had turned everything over to her attorneys. 

 

3.) Moreover, The initial reaction from Abedin is "I don't know how they messages would be on that computer."  That's a problem.  IF there are 0 new e-mails on the device, the cover story all along has been we used  a private server, but we never sent classified or sensitive information to an unauthorized person or allowed them access to the documents.  If Anthony wiener didn't have clearance for 1 email within the batch of "tens of thousands" then that constitutes at a minimum the criminal negligence that was sidestepped during the investigation and would cross the additional threshold of intent because any REASONABLE PERSON would expect that a shared computer or worse in this case, a computer used primarily by Weiner would give him access to the documents. 

 

The FBI team has a lot they can push just by the existence of these messages on an unsecured unreported device.  The WikiLeaks stuff has embarrassed the bureau. Even Clinton's closest aides were shocked by the level of carelessness and immediately understood both the illegality and stupidity of the private system.  They also demonstrate that the Clinton team was active in covering up and misleading both the FBI and the public in an effort to "Get Away With it."  Unless this is all a ruse by the administration, I don't think that they will be as lenient this time.
