What a waste of time.

Yep, they released a letter a couple loving weeks before the election saying "hey we found some emails that have a tiny chance of being relevant to the case, but we're not actually opening up the case again and the chance of indiction is pretty forgetin' small."

Fox falsely blew it up into "O M F G CLINTON GETTING INDICTED 100% FBI SAYS "forget YOU HILLARY""
and now, just as predicted, nothing is happening because there was nothing new. Big. loving. Shock.

What makes you so sure the clinton crime family didn't just threaten to kill comey?

What makes you so sure anyone takes your low quality bait seriously?

no comment lol. this is the craziest stuff I've ever read.

Not even worth a read tbh. It's that crazy-ass conspiracy stuff you see all the time on the_donald. That place has probably the worst track record ever in terms of rampantly peddling conspiracy theories with no evidence and pushing photosopped bullstuff.

For example, this goldmine of comedy is currently #2 on /r/all courtesy of the_donald:


The people who are submitting and upvoting this kind of stuff have absolutely no comprehension about what's actually going on. Nearly every single email was a duplicate. There were a couple non-duplicate emails found, but again, a *couple.* It wasn't 650 thousand new emails. It was maybe 649,950 duplicates and 50 new ones. You don't have to re-investigate the duplicates. That's like, extraordinarily basic common sense.

I think the numbers are inflated a bit too but it doesn't matter much, that would just be the icing on the cake.

It makes me thankful that most of these people are under 18. Because it seriously scares me when people are this dumb.

[rambo1220]

call it whatever you'd like, but considering this stuff is straight out of the WikiLeaks Podesta emails I wouldn't take this as a theory.

anyone got any extra tin foil?

If you think the_donald is bad you should have seen r/SandersForPresident/

I was there for the entire thing. It was never this bad. They were not filling up /r/all nearly as much as the_donald was before the algorithm change. They were not constantly peddling photoshopped pictures and ridiculous conspiracy theories every second or third day (With the exception of a couple specific weeks when the DNC being biased against bernie was all the rage on /r/all). There were plenty of low-effort stuffposts and "match me!!" posts though, I'll give you that.

"bernie just lost the DNC, heres how he can still win!!!" yeah no. Nothing is as bad as the Sanders subreddit. And I saw them post cigarettegy attempts at memes all the time.

Also someone verify if this is bait. Don't have time to read it atm http://www.allenbwest.com/matt-palumbo/wikileaks-reveals-unquestionably-illegal-act

The defining black stain on this year's Republican base has been the extremely low quality of evidence they are willing to run with on just about anything. I don't see even nearly the same level of that coming from any other candidate base, especially not Bernie. /r/The_Donald has been a cancerous hivemind and I think most of them will look back with a bit of shame in a few years.

If any left-leaning politics sub is bad, it's /r/HillaryClinton, who violently refuse to acknowledge any wrongdoing.
