Quick little speculation before it all becomes history…
Comey’s letter was an extraordinary event. He is a smart guy, so he must have had an extraordinary reason. Sure, maybe he is just trying to sway the election. But (a) that would be counter to every aspect of his reputation and track record; and (b) he could have done it more effectively (and less suspiciously) simply by referring the case for prosecution back in July.
This is an interesting observation:
#WeinerGate investigation is being conducted by SDNY not Main Justice. Did Bharara force Comey's hand?https://t.co/ZQCYaEw4Iv

He is right. The Weiner investigation is being conducted by the local DoJ (including FBI) in New York, not by the home office in Washington.
So how about this for a narrative. In the process of investigating Carlos Danger’s perversions, they combed through a computer he shared with Huma and found… something. At least a few of these local agents and attorneys are career law enforcement types, not politicized strivers, and they are outside the… um… let’s say “environment” of D.C.
They have seen whatever the “something” is, and had Comey not made some public statement, they would have.
I do not know whether this narrative is true. But it seems to fit all the available facts.
Is the “something” actually nothing?
Hillary, Obama, and Biden have canceled all campaign appearances until election day.
Huma is in tears.
Sure, probably nothing.
The events are not marked as canceled on her website [https://hillaryspeeches.com/scheduled-events/].
It is open to debate as to whether HA is in tears on that pic. It’s a hard call. I would stick to facts (facts are self-evident).
Yes, I should have verified the event cancellations. Mea culpa.
The Huma image is real, and I think it speaks for itself.
Perhaps Comey can do as Biden asks and “release the Emails for the whole world to see”? Everyone knows full well that will not happen… including Biden. So why say it?
Time will tell.
