the Letter from Comey has created great confusion in the american media, and the interpretations of the content are many.
The experienced Newsweek-jouranlisten Kurt Eichenwald in Newsweek points out that the FBI has not reopened the case against Clinton is because it is not formally terminated in advance:
He also notes that Comey was going to inform Congress that the FBI is now investigating the new emails – FBI director has previously said under oath that the agency had come to a conclusion, and he is therefore required to inform the national assembly that new evidence into the case.
After the Eichenwald understand, there should be talk about the three emails that the FBI did not previously have undergone.
Added in the tray in the september
It was in september that Comey defended the federal police decision not to take out some charge to use the private email server while she was secretary of state. The documents in this matter was made public. The documents also included questioning of the democratic presidential from July this year.
