Wow. Maybe all that pressure on Comey did the trick. So will they “lock her up”?
UPDATE:
Apparently the FBI is saying that new emails have come to light from a separate case?! Wow. I really hope they explain more of what these emails are, and where they came from.
Also, I just heard on CNN it being reported that this has nothing to do with Wikileaks. BUT even if they say that, it may be the case that Wikileaks led them to new emails, and then they reverse engineered their way to “finding” those same emails on their own. This is all conjecture, of course.
UPDATE!
CNN has Speaker Ryan’s statement on the FBI case:
House Speaker Paul Ryan said Friday that Clinton betrayed Americans’ trust for handling “the nation’s most important secrets.”
“This decision, long overdue, is the result of her reckless use of a private email server, and her refusal to be forthcoming with federal investigators,” Ryan said in a statement. “I renew my call for the Director of National Intelligence to suspend all classified briefings for Secretary Clinton until this matter is fully resolved.”
And KellyAnne Conway is already celebrating:

And so is Donald Trump:

I imagine they’ll be saying the FBI is rigged if they don’t find anything.
UPDATE!!
OK, the details look terribly sketchy:
Pete Williams sources say in course of a separate investigation, FBI came across "a device." found emails there. but emails NOT from HRC
— Sam Stein (@samsteinhp) October 28, 2016
Pete Williams sources also say it isn't going to be a game changer. But will take more than 11 days
— Sam Stein (@samsteinhp) October 28, 2016
Pete Williams has sources saying not about Clinton world w/holding emails. Not about Podesta emails. Not emails from Clinton.
— Sam Stein (@samsteinhp) October 28, 2016
NEW: NBC's Pete Williams reports that the e-mails Comey announced today were NOT originally withheld by Clinton or campaign.

What the heck? This does not seem like the bombshell that the Trump camp is pretending it is…
