Stephen Colbert dubs latest twist in Hillary Clinton’s email drama “WeinerLeaks”

That probe involves former Rep. Anthony Weiner, the estranged husband of Clinton aide and confidant Huma Abedin.

“We assure you that the department will continue to work closely with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and together, dedicate all necessary resources and take appropriate steps as expeditiously as possible”, Assistant Attorney General Peter Kadzik wrote in a letter to lawmakers on Monday. “We operate based on concrete decisions that are made”, he told NowThisNews in the interview, which was taped on Tuesday and aired on Wednesday.

“Today, the Clinton Campaign took another blow as President (Barack) Obama shot down their desperate politicisation of the FBI’s criminal investigation into Hillary Clinton’s email scandal”, Jason Miller, senior communication advisor to the Trump Campaign, said yesterday.

The White House largely stood by Comey but refused to defend his action and clearly wasn’t happy that he broke with decades of law enforcement practice by discussing an ongoing investigation in public.

“Now they apparently want to look at emails of one of my staffers and by all means, they should look at them”, she said. Mook said anonymous leaks from the FBI point to investigations into Russian ties to Trump’s former campaign manager, Paul Manafort, and Carter Page, whom Trump has described as a foreign policy adviser. Investigators found the emails during their Weiner investigation.

“It’s really hard to square” the two, said one official, who like several others spoke on the condition of anonymity to talk about internal discussions. Trump has not released his tax returns in this campaign, despite pressure to do so. The White House distanced itself from those remarks, saying there was no scientific evidence to support a connection, or show that officers were pulling back from their responsibilities.

“Clinton Cash“, which was also turned into a documentary, is a bestselling book by Peter Schweizer in which he alleges that foreign entities gave money to the Clinton Foundation, and speaking fees in return for favors at the State Department under Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. “We’re talking about an agency, a department – the Department of Justice says don’t put anything out like this within 60 days of an election”.

Christine Chung, a NY lawyer who worked with Comey when he was the top federal prosecutor in Manhattan, described him as ever “determined to do the right thing”.
