@Tony Adams I been eating my
share of eggs and toast too. However I have been getting awful fat
pigging out on the free bacon I cured from all the pork laying around
inside the beltway of Washington DC.
Overeating has not made mean old me dumb and happy though. As I watch the circus the Yankees call an election. I consider it a very serious comic tragedy of Shakespearean proportions.
Most of the poor over taxed souls south of the 49th appear to have forgotten why they rebelled from the British Crown hundreds of years ago "No Taxation Without Proper Representation" Now they have to choose between a mindless buffoon and an equally mindless crook to be the next Prez of what has become the most powerful nation on earth.
In all sincerity I pity us all but I worry about the future of our children most of all.

Between this nightmare and
the recent Wikileaks about the Clinton Foundation mixing business with
"shenanigans", I think Americans are getting a very clear reminder of
Hillary and Bill. They simply cannot be trusted anymore.
David Raymond Amos
@Jamie Taylor The truly sad
part of this comment section is that folks believe in the integrity of
the "non partisan" CBC which actually supports Hillary for political
reasons
Tony Adams
You have to love the irony. Hillary demanding the FBI releases the emails when she refused to release her own.
David Raymond Amos
@Tony Adams There is a lot more that CBC is not telling you

@joseph adamsom Clinton's email server use was approved by no one, but herself. It was illegal.
Her very own State Department Inspector General wrote a scathing report
saying her private email server use was fully NOT approved.
She broke the law. And made State top secrets available to the world. So, she could conduct Foundation business without Freedom of Information requests making her accountable.
Clinton is fully the author of her current mess.

@Lee Hall Simple question
Do you really think that the NSA and the CSE etc did not know about the Clinton Foundation's server out of the gate just like I did in 2008?

@Lee Hall Looks like I might as well quit for the night now that CBC has shown me its very nasty arse again today EH?
Perhaps the crooked moderators working for CBC this evening should ask themselves a simple question as well?
Do you think that I am clever enough and or diligent enough to find out who you are then sue you as individuals?

Democrats claim FBI director James Comey 'may have broken the law' by influencing election
Last Updated: Oct 30, 2016 9:09 PM ET
Hillary Clinton's campaign on Sunday pressured FBI
Director James Comey to release more details about emails he says could
be related to the investigation into her use of a private email server.
(Andrew Harnik/Associated Press)
A law enforcement official says the FBI has obtained a search
warrant to start reviewing newly discovered emails that may be tied to
the Hillary Clinton email investigation.
The official was not authorized to discuss an ongoing investigation by name and spoke on condition of anonymity.
The emails were discovered on a device seized during an unrelated sexting investigation into former New York congressman Anthony Weiner. He is the estranged husband of top Clinton aide Huma Abedin.
FBI Director James Comey on Friday said the FBI would take steps to review those emails to see if any were classified.
It's not clear what connection, if any, the newly discovered emails might have to the previous Clinton email investigation.
Tim Kaine, Clinton's running mate, said Comey owed it to the public to be more forthcoming about the emails, under review by the FBI with only 10 days remaining before Nov. 8 election. Kaine's message aimed to counter Republican rival Donald Trump, who has seized on the reignited email controversy in hopes of sowing fresh doubts about Clinton's trustworthiness.
"As far as we know now, Director Comey knows nothing about the content of these emails. We don't know whether they're to or from Hillary at all," said Kaine, who called Comey's announcement "extremely puzzling." The Virginia senator said if Comey "hasn't seen the emails, I mean they need to make that completely plain. Then they should work to see the emails and release the circumstances of those once they have done that analysis."
Clinton's campaign chairman, John Podesta, said Comey's handling of the matter was "inappropriate." Podesta urged Comey to be more transparent because the disclosure came "in the middle of the presidential campaign so close to the voting."
Clinton, speaking at a predominantly black church in Fort Lauderdale,
Fla., did not mention the FBI inquiry but said scripture reminded that
"suffering produces endurance and endurance produces character and
character produces hope." Trump visited a nondenominational church in
Las Vegas, where he swayed and clapped along to the music.
At another campaign stop in Florida, Clinton assured supporters nothing was going to slow down her campaign.
"I'm not stopping now, we're just getting warmed up," Clinton declared during a packed rally with gay and lesbian supporters. "We're not going to be distracted, no matter what our opponents throw at us."
Comey, in a letter to Congress on Friday, said the FBI had recently come upon new emails while pursuing an unrelated case and was reviewing whether they were classified.
Clinton's team tried to make its case on the Sunday news shows, joining Democratic leaders who have said it was "unprecedented" for such FBI action so close to an election.
Her campaign has called on Comey to release all the facts known so far, and they have criticized his letter because, they contend, it lacks crucial details.
Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway said Comey was in "an impossible spot" when he acknowledged the FBI was looking into the messages. "Had he sat on the information, one can argue that he also would be interfering in the election," by failing to disclose the review, Conway said.
Clinton said in Florida on Saturday that it was "pretty strange to
put something like that out with such little information right before an
election" and accused Trump of using the issue to mislead voters in the
final leg of the campaign.
Trump told a crowd in Golden, Colo., on Saturday that the FBI's review of Clinton email practices raises "everybody's deepest hope that justice, as last, can be properly delivered." His crowd cheered Clinton's email woes, which Trump has taken to calling the biggest political scandal since Watergate.
The controversy over Clinton's email practices while she served as Secretary of State has dogged her for more than a year.
The emails were found on a device that belonged to Weiner.
Comey said he was briefed Thursday about that development; he then told Congress on Friday that investigators had found emails that were potentially relevant to the Clinton investigation.
The official was not authorized to discuss the matter by name and spoke on condition of anonymity.
A second law enforcement official also said the FBI was aware for a
period of time about the emails before Comey was briefed, but wasn't
more specific.
Justice Department officials who were advised of the FBI's intention to notify Congress about the discovery expressed concern that the action would be inconsistent with department protocols designed to avoid the appearance of interference in an election.
In an apparent departure from the wishes of top Justice Department leaders, Comey acted independently when he sent several members of Congress a letter about the emails on Friday, said one of the officials.
The move creates the potential for a divide between the Justice Department and Comey, who has served in government under both Democratic and Republican presidents.
U.S. Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid sent a letter to Comey on Sunday suggesting he violated the Hatch Act, which bars the use of a federal government position to influence an election.
"Through your partisan actions, you may have broken the law," he said.

"Had he sat on the information, one can argue that he also would be interfering in the election," by failing to disclose the review, Conway said.

It's time to topple the elitist grip on America, and on the world. If Hillary is defeated, we may be closer to this goal.
Of course, that is, if trump truly is not one of them, and is incorruptible by them. he certainty is rich enough to ignore them. And they seem to have played all their smear cards, so they probably have very few options.
This will be interesting to see how it all pans out!

@Justin Levesque "Clinton is almost as bad yet no one has been criticizing all the serious misdeeds she has committed."
I must have missed the part where Hillary told everone she grabs men by the "you know what" (on tape) because of her star power and all the men that came forward to accuse her of sexual misconduct.
The bad press that was lumped on to Trump was well deserved.
In now way is a sexual predator "as bad" as using poor judgement regarding emails.
