| Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton ignored the news that the FBI is investigating newly-discovered emails related to her use of personal email servers during her tenure at the State Department at a campaign rally in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, this afternoon, instead focusing on down-ballot candidates and recent local flooding. | |
| Republican rival Donald Trump’s negative turn in recent weeks, Clinton told the audience, is a craven attempt to turn off voters and minimize turnout. | |
| “His strategy is to get women to stay home, get young people to stay home, get people of color to stay home,” Clinton said. “It’s all part of his scorched-earth campaign - the last refuge of a bankrupt candidate. And it goes against everything we stand for in America.” | |

| Trump has released a statement on the FBI inquiry which turns out to be just what he said at the top of his New Hampshire speech. | |
| The statement is inaccurate in a couple ways. Clinton has not been found to have engaged in any “criminal” or “illegal conduct.” And the FBI has not announced any “reopening” of a “case.” Comey announced they are looking at newly discovered emails: | |
| “I need to open with a very critical breaking news announcement. The FBI has just sent a letter to Congress informing them that they have discovered new emails pertaining to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s investigation, and they are reopening the case into her criminal and illegal conduct that threatens the security of the United States of America. | |
| “Hillary Clinton’s corruption is on a scale we have never seen before. We must not let her take her criminal scheme into the Oval Office. | |
| “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.” –Donald J. Trump | |

| RNC on 'serious' 'stunning' development | |
| The Republican national committee has released a statement saying the timing of the FBI decision to look at additional Clinton emails – just 11 days before the election – indicates it’s serious. “This stunning development raises serious questions about what records may not have been turned over and why, and whether they show intent to violate the law,” the statement says, continuing: | |
| What’s indisputable is that Hillary Clinton jeopardized classified information on thousands of occasions in her reckless attempt to hide pay-to-play corruption at her State Department. This alone should be disqualifying for anyone seeking the presidency, a job that is supposed to begin each morning with a top secret intelligence briefing. | |
