In a shocking turn of events, the FBI has announced that they would again be looking into Hillary’s emails to further their investigation into Hillary Clinton’s mishandling of classified information through her private email server. It’s a bombshell decision with serious repercussions in the wake of the Hillary campaign’s humiliating email leaks!

Watergate journalist Carl Bernstein comments on the FBI’s shocking Friday afternoon announcement.
CARL BERNSTEIN: “Well, there’s no question that the e-mails have always been the greatest threat to her candidacy for president, that her conduct in regard to the e-mails is really indefensible and if there was going to be more information that came out, it was the one thing, as I said on the air last night, actually that could really perhaps affect this election. “
“We don’t know what this means yet except that it’s a real bombshell. And it is unthinkable that the Director of the FBI would take this action lightly, that he would put this letter forth to the Congress of the United States saying there is more information out there about classified e-mails and call it to the attention of congress unless it was something requiring serious investigation. So that’s where we are..”
Donald Trump seized on the news Friday that the FBI is probing new emails related to Hillary Clinton‘s private server, saying that “this is bigger than Watergate.”
“I have great respect for the fact that the FBI and Department of Justice are now willing to have the courage to right the horrible mistake that they made,” Trump said at a rally in New Hampshire. “This was a grave miscarriage of justice that the American people fully understood and is about to be corrected.”
