With hours to go before Americans decide who will become their 45th President, the FBI has once again cleared Mrs. Clinton of criminal culpability in their email investigations. The FBI Director James Comey's new statement reads:
“Since my letter, the FBI investigative team has been working around the clock to process and review a large volume of emails from a device obtained in connection with an unrelated criminal investigation.”
“During that process, we reviewed all of the communications that were to or from Hillary Clinton while she was secretary of state.”
“Based on our review, we have not changed our conclusions that we expressed in July with respect to Secretary Clinton,” he concluded. “I am grateful to the professionals at the FBI for doing an extraordinary amount of high-quality work in a short period of time.”
The Democrats while welcoming this latest development are also lamenting the "damage" this new round of investigations could have caused their campaign within the past 8 days since it started especially with the uncertainty in the FBI Director's announcement that ushered it in.The Republican candidate Donald Trump "slammed" the FBI's new decision to let Clinton off the hook, claiming "it is not possible to review 650,000 emails in 8 days".
Going into the final hours Clinton still maintains a narrow lead of 3% over Trump.
