FBI reopening Clinton email case.

The FBI will re-open its investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server, bureau director James Comey said in a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee on Friday.

"In connection with an unrelated case, the FBI has learned of the existence of emails that appear to be pertinent to the investigation … 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," he wrote.

That raises more questions than it answers. I'm sure that wasn't Comey's intention at all.

Oh FFS. That'll teach me to trust words that orginate from wingnut witch-hunter, Jason Chaffetz.

But CBS News’ Jeff Pegues reports that the FBI is not yet saying that it’s reviving the investigation. That will depend on the outcome of its assessment of “whether or not this material may be significant.” The FBI’s investigative team briefed Comey Thursday on the new emails. In his letter, the FBI director also warned the committee chairs, “I cannot predict how long it will take us to complete this additional work.”

Pegues also reports that the “unrelated case” mentioned in the letter to members of Congress is not related to Secretary Clinton, but rather, involves someone else, according to law enforcement officials.

The New York Times reported Friday that the new emails were discovered during the investigation into the sexting scandal of Anthony Weiner, the husband of top Clinton aide Huma Abedin, after the agency seized electronic devices belonging to the couple.
