it appears that Federal agents are preparing to scour roughly 650,000 emails that, as we reported moments ago were discovered weeks ago on the laptop of Anthony Weiner, to see how many relate to a prior probe of Hillary Clinton's email use, as metadata on the device suggests there may be thousands sent to or from the private server that the Democratic nominee used while she was secretary of state, according to people familiar with the matter.
As the WSJ adds, the review will take weeks at a minimum to determine whether those messages are work-related emails between Huma Abedin, a close Clinton aide and the estranged wife of Mr. Weiner, and State Department officials; how many are duplicates of emails already reviewed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation; and whether they include either classified information or important new evidence in the Clinton email probe, which FBI officials call "Midyear."
And, as we further reported earlier today, the FBI has had to await a court order to begin reviewing the emails, because they were uncovered in an unrelated probe of Mr. Weiner, and that order was delayed for reasons that remain unclear.
More stunning is just how many emails were found on Weiner's computer. And while one can only imagine the content of some of the more persona ones, the WSJ writes that the latest development began in early October when New York-based FBI officials notified Andrew McCabe, the bureau's second-in-command, that while investigating Mr. Weiner for possibly sending sexually charged messages to a minor, they had recovered a laptop with 650,000 emails. Many, they said, were from the accounts of Ms. Abedin, according to people familiar with the matter.
[EDITOR'S NOTE: This has to be the grand stash of all of the emails from everyone who used the Clinton private email server because it's just too many emails. Either someone collected up a lot of spam, or this is the big cache. Expect heavy ramifications. And, Huma has lost her immunity.]

TOP DEMOCRATS HAVE repeatedly waved off substantial questions arising from their hacked emails by falsely implying that some of them are forgeries created by Russian hackers.
The problem with that is that no one has found a single case of anything forged among the information released from hacks of either Clinton campaign or Democratic Party officials....

Has America become so numb by the decades of lies and cynicism oozing from Clinton Inc. that it could elect Hillary Clinton as president, even after Friday's FBI announcement that it had reopened an investigation of her emails while secretary of state?
We'll find out soon enough.
It's obvious the American political system is breaking down. It's been crumbling for some time now, and the establishment elite know it and they're properly frightened. Donald Trump, the vulgarian at their gates, is a symptom, not a cause. Hillary Clinton and husband Bill are both cause and effect.
FBI director James Comey's announcement about the renewed Clinton email investigation is the bombshell in the presidential campaign. That he announced this so close to Election Day should tell every thinking person that what the FBI is looking at is extremely serious.
This can't be about pervert Anthony Weiner and his reported desire for a teenage girl. But it can be about the laptop of Weiner's wife, Clinton aide Huma Abedin, and emails between her and Hillary. It comes after the FBI investigation in which Comey concluded Clinton had lied and been "reckless" with national secrets, but said he could not recommend prosecution.
So what should the Democrats do now?
If ruling Democrats hold themselves to the high moral standards they impose on the people they govern, they would follow a simple process:
They would demand that Mrs. Clinton step down, immediately, and let her vice presidential nominee, Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia, stand in her place.
The last paragraph quoted above tells the tale about WHY this paper is asking for her to step down now; the oligarchs are afraid of Trump because they can't control him, so they now are switching to Tim Kaine, a Republican with a D after his name. ... While the rest of the article goes on to make a few good points here and there, ultimately, this isn't about We, The People getting a good choice - if it were, they'd be recommending that they appoint Bernie Sanders as the replacement Nominee - HE, after all, has been vetted! No, for them, it's about making sure the oligarchs, the ultra-rich, continue to get everything they want...

Censorship by Facebook has become a thorn in the side of nearly anyone with an opinion differing from the narrative touted by the corporate press - for instance, sentiments not praising Hillary Clinton - and now, through both a new report from Reuters and emails published by Wikileaks, we have insight into why certain posts are targeted.
Facebook relies on a combination of artificial intelligence and human judgment to remove posts deemed offensive, violent, or otherwise unacceptable to its community standards - but precisely how the ultimate call to take down posts, pages, and groups are made remains unknown.
And Facebook takedowns, no matter the improvements to the process the social media behemoth claims to make, have been no less controversial or questionable - and those whose posts are censored have little if any recourse to argue their case.
Recent examples of head-scratchers which led to an international uproar, include Facebook's removal of the iconic Vietnam War photograph of Phan Thị Kim Phúc - who, at just 9-years-old, was captured on film by an Associated Press photographer fleeing the aftermath of an errant napalm attack near a Buddhist pagoda in the village of Trang Bang.
That photograph helped cement in the collective American mind the horrors of the war, and ultimately fueled the success of the anti-war effort - but Facebook arbitrarily pulled the image for nudity - and proceeded even to ban the page of the Conservative prime minister of Norway for also posting the image.
Ultimately, the social media company reversed course in that case - but not before also taking down the equally iconic image of civil rights leader Rosa Park's arrest.
[LOTS of great content omitted for length...]
However, considering Sheryl Sandberg and her loyalists populate the top-level group deciding the fate for content removal complaints, it would appear Wikileaks could provide answers for both post censorship and suppression of outlets not vowing complete fealty to the preferred, left-leaning narrative.
In a June 4, 2015, email to Clinton campaign chair John Podesta - an enormous cache of whose emails are still being published on a daily basis by Wikileaks - penned by Sandberg in response to condolences on the death of her husband, states, in part,
"And I still want HRC to win badly. I am still here to help as I can. She came over and was magical with my kids."
After a wave of post removals and temporary page bans, it appears Facebook has begun to come to its senses for what actually violates community standards - and what might have political worth contrary to the views of its executives.
Senior members of Facebook's policy team recently posted about the laxing of rules governing community standards, which - though welcome - might only provide temporary relief. Quoted by the Wall Street Journal, they wrote:
"In the weeks ahead, we're going to begin allowing more items that people find newsworthy, significant, or important to the public interest-even if they might otherwise violate our standards."
While the social media giant deems itself a technology, and not news, platform, Facebook is still the bouncing off point for issues of interest for an overwhelming percentage of its users. Although it perhaps has some responsibility in regard to the removal of certain content, putting censorship in the hands of only a few individuals in certain instances is a chilling reminder of the fragility - and grave importance - of free speech.

What convinces me that the Oligarchy intends to steal the election is the vast difference between the presstitutes' reporting and the facts on the ground.
According to the presstitutes, Hillary is so far ahead that there is no point in Trump supporters bothering to vote. Hillary has won the election before the vote. Hillary has been declared a 93% sure winner.
I am yet to see one Hillary yard sign, but Trump signs are everywhere. Reports I receive are that Hillary's public appearances are unattended but Trumps are so heavily attended that people have to be turned away. This is a report from a woman in Florida:
"Trump has pulled huge numbers all over FL while campaigning here this week. I only see Trump signs and sickers in my wide travels. I dined at a Mexican restaurant last night. Two women my age sitting behind me were talking about how they had tried to see Trump when he came to Tallahassee. They left work early, arriving at the venue at 4:00 for a 6:00 rally. The place was already over capacity so they were turned away. It turned out that there were so many people there by 2:00 that the doors had to be opened to them. The women said that the crowds present were a mix of races and ages".

So what happened? For months we have argued that these goal-seeking reports (aka 'Polls') can be easily manufactured to show whatever results are desired by simply "tweaking" the sample pool. WikiLeaks even exposed a handy guide 37-page poll-rigging guide on how to "include ethnic 'oversamples' as required" to manufacture the desired poll numbers. But, with today's latest ABC / Washington Post poll, the real 'smoking gun' admission is revealed as the pollsters admit that the narrowing of their polling results are 'not mainly about people shifting in their candidate preference' but about how their sample pool was constructed.

In an interview with CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union," Podesta complained that the FBI should have investigated enough to know exactly what it was dealing with before announcing the investigation.
"He might have taken the first step of actually having looked at them before he did this in the middle of a presidential campaign, so close to the voting," Podesta said.
Lynch conspiring with the Hillary campaign has Podesta running his mouth knowing Comey has yet to have Lynch sign the necessary warrants!

Back in August 2015, when Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton were still battling it out for the Democratic nomination and Sanders's campaign was viewed as a quixotic amusement, Clinton won the pivotal endorsement of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM), one of the nation's biggest unions. It was the second endorsement Clinton had secured from a national union and helped shore up Clinton's credentials as a friend to workers.
Emails released by WikiLeaks over the past two weeks suggest the kind of machinations that went on behind the scenes to secure Clinton that endorsement. According to a July 8, 2015 email from Nikki Budzinski, the Clinton campaign's labor outreach director, the union's then international president, Tom Buffenbarger, moved up the endorsement vote many months and did so without the knowledge of most of IAM's officers.
"I just spoke with IAM, they have confidentiality [sic] shared with us that Buffenbarger will be moving his board to take a endorsement vote on August 14th in NYC," wrote Budzinski. "Only three officers at IAM are aware of this, so its [sic] being tightly held so that they don't have any issues on the board with timing."

"About a third of likely voters say they're less likely to support Clinton given FBI Director James Comey's disclosure Friday that the bureau is investigating more emails related to its probe of Clinton's use of a private email serverwhile secretary of state. Given other considerations, 63 percent say it makes no difference.
"The potential for a pullback in motivation of Clinton supporters, or further resurgence among Trump's, may cause concern in the Clinton camp-especially because this dynamic already was underway...."

Justice Department and FBI officials are working to secure approval that would allow the FBI to conduct a full search of top Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin's newly discovered emails, sources familiar with the discussions told CNN.
Government lawyers haven't yet approached Abedin's lawyers to seek an agreement to conduct the search. Sources earlier told CNN that those discussions had begun, but the law enforcement officials now say they have not.
Either way, government lawyers plan to seek a search warrant from a judge to conduct the search of the computer, the law enforcement officials said.

Amnesty International are sending a delegation of human rights observers to monitor the response of law enforcement to the protests.
"Could Dakota Access Pipeline Owners Be Legally Liable for Human Rights Abuses?"
Owners of the North Dakota Access Pipeline have been warned that they risk legal liability over several instances of human rights abuses agianst peaceful Native American and environmental activists opposing the US$3.8 billion pipeline, as militarized law enforcement have increasingly used violence and repression at protest camps.

'The atmosphere at the FBI has been toxic ever since Jim announced last July that he wouldn't recommend an indictment against Hillary,' said the source, a close friend who has known Comey for nearly two decades, shares family outings with him, and accompanies him to Catholic mass every week.
'Some people, including department heads, stopped talking to Jim, and even ignored his greetings when they passed him in the hall,' said the source. 'They felt that he betrayed them and brought disgrace on the bureau by letting Hillary off with a slap on the wrist.'
According to the source, Comey fretted over the problem for months and discussed it at great length with his wife, Patrice.
He told his wife that he was depressed by the stack of resignation letters piling up on his desk from disaffected agents. The letters reminded him every day that morale in the FBI had hit rock bottom.

A former top FBI official blasted Hillary and Bill Clinton on Sunday as the heads of an influence-peddling "crime family" rife with corruption and deceit.
James Kallstrom, the head of the FBI's New York City office in the mid-90s, said the bureau's reopening of its probe into Clinton's private email server confirmed that the former secretary of state was never subject to a "real investigation" in the first place.
"The Clintons, that's a crime family. It's like organized crime. The Clinton Foundation is a cesspool ... It's just outrageous how Hillary Clinton sold her office for money. She's a pathological liar," Kallstrom railed to John Catsimatidis on his "Cats Roundtable" radio program, before directing his ire at his former employer.

The Hillary Clinton campaign is recruiting former prosecutors to go after and criticize FBI Director James Comey for deciding to reopen an investigation into Clinton's use of a private email server to handle official government business.
The campaign sent out letters to ex-prosecutors on Sunday, just two days after Comey informed Congress on Friday that the FBI had reopened the investigation after finding new emails related to the case during a separate probe into former disgraced congressman Anthony Weiner of New York.
Editor's Note: DAMN they are desperate, aren't they! The only prosecutor worth a damn in this battle is Loretta Lynch, the extremely loyal partisan Attorney General. And Loretta isn't going after Comey because she knows better!
