The FBI has found some more emails that “appear to be pertinent” to the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s email server, so FBI Director James Comey has informed various congressional Republicans that the investigation will be reopened to see if the newly discovered emails are in fact pertinent:
In connection with an unrelated case, the FBI has learned of the existence of emails that appear to be pertinent to the investigation. I am writing to inform you that the investigative team briefed me on this yesterday, and 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.
That is … not very definitive language, but you wouldn’t know it from the response not just of congressional Republicans but of the media, which is pretty much absorbing the immediate Republican hype. Not surprising when you consider how hard the traditional political media has worked to keep Clinton’s emails in the news even when there was nothing new to say.
