The disclosure yesterday by the FBI that they have discovered new emails relating to the Clinton email investigations it had "concluded" in July has kind of jolted the Clinton camp and given the rival Trump camp a boost so to speak.
An obviously elated Trump had this to say during a rally:
"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 the 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. Perhaps, finally, justice will be done."
One of his strong supporters said "this is a great day".
Many political analysts are questioning the sincerity of the FBI Director and are wondering why he is bringing this up 11 days to a crucial election like this.
Hillary Clinton in her reaction said:
"We are 11 days out from perhaps the most important national election of our lifetimes. Voting is already underway in our country," Clinton said. "So the American people deserve to get the full and complete facts immediately."
Clinton said that no one from her campaign has talked to the FBI, but she implored the bureau to release all the info it could.As for Weiner's connection, Clinton chalked them up to "rumors.""We don't know what to believe. And I'm sure there will be even more rumors," Clinton said. "That's why it is incumbent upon the FBI to tell us what they're talking about.""We have got to keep our foot on the gas. Donald Trump says he can still win and he is right," Clinton told supporters. "You know this has been such an unusual election. I don't take any place, anyone or anything for granted."
And recent polls have shown a closing gap between two candidates.Clinton's 47%-45% edge in the new Washington Post/ABC tracking poll released Saturday is within the poll's 3-point margin of error. As recently as Sunday, Clinton led Trump 50% to 38% in the poll.
Libertarian Party nominee Gary Johnson is winning 4% while Green Party candidate Jill Stein is at 2%.
The tracking poll improves Trump's standing by 1 percentage point in CNN's Poll of Polls, which averages the five most recent publicly released national polls that meet CNN's standards for publication. Clinton is leading 47% to Trump's 42% in polls taken from October 17 to 26.
