On Friday afternoon – 11 days before the election – FBI Director James Comey
sent a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee informing them of the discovery
of new information that might be relevant to the FBI’s previous probe of
Clinton’s private email server.

“In connection with an unrelated case, the FBI has learned of the existence of
emails that appear to be pertinent to the investigation,” Comey wrote. He added,
“I agreed that the FBI should take appropriate investigative steps designed to
allow investigators to review these emails to determine whether they contain
classified information, as well as to assess their importance to our
investigation.”

Why now?
According to Comey, because the information just came to light.

What is the new information?
Comey didn’t specify in the letter, but NBC’s Pete Williams reports that the
newly discovered emails were not written by Clinton herself.

What’s the “unrelated case”?
Welp – it’s actually the investigation into disgraced former New York
congressman Anthony Weiner’s online relationship with an underage girl. In
September, the Daily Mail published a lengthy interview with a 15-year-old girl
who claimed Weiner – who is married to but separated from Clinton aide Huma
Abedin – sent her explicit, inappropriate messages and photographs over the
course of several months.







What this isn’t
Comey’s letter does not technically constitute a reopening of the Clinton case.
The case was not closed; the FBI had just decided not to charge Clinton in
connection with the case.

Were the emails withheld from the investigation?
Pete Williams reports that senior officials with the FBI say this was not a
matter of withholding emails. “It doesn’t appear that the the campaign or the
Clintons or the State Department had emails that they didn’t give to the FBI,
and that the FBI someone found them some other way,” Williams said. “‘It’s not
like that,’ they say.”

What does Donald “The Election Is Rigged” Trump have to say about all this?
The Republican nominee was on stage at a rally in Manchester, New Hampshire,
shortly after the news of the FBI letter broke, but before the revelation that
Weiner was involved. The system “might not be as rigged as I thought,” Trump
said.

Trump, who in addition to floating the idea that the election will be “rigged,”
has been highly critical of the FBI’s handling of Clinton’s email, appeared to
change his mind about that too. “I have great respect for the fact that the FBI
and the DOJ are now willing to have the courage to right the horrible mistake
that they made. This was a grave miscarriage of justice that the American people
fully understand. It is everybody’s hope that it is about to be corrected,” he
said.

Trump had previously attempted to tie Clinton to the Weiner scandal. In a late
August statement, he said, “I only worry for the country in that Hillary Clinton
was careless and negligent in allowing Weiner to have such close proximity to
highly classified information. Who knows what he learned and who he told? It’s
just another example of Hillary Clinton’s bad judgment.”

How about the Clinton camp?
Clinton, who was en route to Iowa as the story broke, seemed unfussed at her
rally there Friday. “Donald Trump says he can still win. And you know, he is
right. Anything can happen in an election,” she said. “I have a plan for just
about everything.”

Meanwhile, Clinton’s campaign manager, John Podesta, said in a statement, “The
Director owes it to the American people to immediately provide the full details
of what he is now examining. We are confident this will not produce any
conclusions different from the one the FBI reached in July.”

Former congressman Anthony Weiner has had many scandals, but the newest one
could mean real trouble. Watch here.
