With an email investigation about classified material and another about her role as secretary of state and interaction with the Clinton Foundation. Donald trump, meantime, is seeking to take full advantage and if you believe the late ef polls, he is making progress, one week before election day. The latest abc Washington Post tracking poll has trump leading nationally by one point. That for those who are asking is a democrat plus ten poll. But in that poll with likely voters expected to vote on election day, trump now leads 50 39 . Chief intelligence correspondence Catherine Herridge begins our coverage tonight are the latest on the email investigation. Good evening. A Government Official confirmed today fbi director james comey and his boss attorney general Loretta Lynch have met for the first time after his decision to reinitiate the clinton email case. The official characterized the meeting as cordial, as the review shifts into high gear. Two intelligence sources report that over the weekend, a Multiagency Task force from the clinton email case was reengaged with analysts working overlapping shifts covering 16 hours a day to identify new classified material. The objective was more clarity on the records recovered from Anthony Weiners computer for fbi director james comey if he faced more pressure for answers. And to assess if intelligence was compromise. A Software Program with key search terms called dduping which knocks out duplicates. With sundays warrant, investigators can read the email content. The first step is relatively quick. You can process a very large volume of emails to eliminate duplicates, eliminate redundancies and focus your teen attention on the documents of the emails that are new. Reporter a second phase kicks in known as, quote, eyes on, fbi phrase for physically reviewing the emails then farming them out to intelligence agencies for final classification. The Trump Campaigns believe highly sensitive documents are on the computer. The bureau is having to get cleared personnel to be able to look at these emails. So if theyre looking for cleared personnel, that means that they have probably discovered, they probably discovered classified information in this f 650,000. Reporter the fbi is not commenting as the Justice Department sent this letter to capitol hill pledging every available resource to expedite the review before election day. But the Justice Department official who wrote the letter has now surfaced in wikileaks. In this september 2008 email, john podesta recommends cad zik for a supportive role in the Campaign Calling him, quote, a fantastic lawyer who kept me out of jail. Meantime, karen dunn, and attorney representing huma abedin, weiners estranged wife, is telling reporters that abedin was surprised to learn her emails were on the computer. From the beginning, miss abedin has complied fully and voluntarily with state department and Law Enforcement requests including sitting for hourslong interviews and providing her workrelated and potentially workrelated documents. Late today the conservative group, judicial watch, released new Clinton Emails uncovered by the fbi in the first review. The records show that november 2010, secretary clintons unsecured server was attacked tip times in two days. The secret service was informed. Though the fbi director said in july there was no evidence of a breach, though he could not rule it out, bret. Catherine, thank you. Youre welcome. Now to wikileaks. The numbers are staggering. 25 document dumps so far encompassing some 42,000 emails. Yet, that is just 1 15th the number of emails reportedly found on Anthony Weiners laptop that the federal task force is combing through. You just heard about that. That does not mean the wikileaks emails are not revealing quite a lot about what was happening behind the scenes inside the Clinton Campaign. And potentially doing damage to the clinton brand and Hillary Clintons campaign. Heres chief National Correspondent ed henry. Reporter an explosive new email shows bill clinton lined up a cool f6 million for his foundation from Sheikh Mohammed from ethiopia, one writing it would be crazy to go to ethiopia for a conference, unless sheikh mo sent us a check. Bruce lindsay replies, if the call is made, it will help us get the f6 million. I think we should call. If elected, the foundation will ban foreign money. Another new email shows in 2015, she privately wanted the flow of foreign money to continue as long as theres more disclosure. Bill clinton also wanted more foreign donations if theyre submitted to, an independent body for review. The obvious challenge with this is there is no independent body to make that review. And a newly leaked email from marchnd, 2015, the night the New York Times revealed clinton used a private email account as secretary of state shows, Campaign Chairman john podesta wrote cheryl mills, not to sound like lanny but we are going to have to dump all those emails so better do so sooner than later. The timeline created by these wikileaks disclosures show a far different approach of holding back information, starting with the candidate. When the times story first crossed on march 2nd, podesta asked Campaign Manager robby mook if he had any idea of the depth of it. Mook replied nope. Trey gowdy subpoenaed clintons emails, same day citing executive privilege, podesta wrote mills think we should hold emails to and from the president . Mar march 7th, president obama said he learned about it from news reports. Mills writes we need to clean this up. He has emailses from her. They do not say state. Gov. That same day, Philippe Reines reveals theres no good to err on the side of providing anything that could be possibly viewed as work related. Now, weve obtained talking points from bill clintons 6 million phone call, noted he went to the sheikhs private suite in ethiopia and played the saxophone. Committed to 20 million felt some this was coercion. Thats from an aide to clinton saying he felt like it was coercion. Amazing. Ed, thanks. Now to the nominees. Both are focusing on major battleground states as we approach the final week of the campaign. Fox news correspondent Jennifer Griffin is in florida with the clinton team. Reporter Hillary Clinton returned to florida in a desperate attempt to regain an advantage in this key battleground state, a lead that has evaporated since revelations that the fbi is again looking at emails from her staff. She was joined on stage by Alicia Machado, the former Miss Universe who trump once called miss piggy. He calls women ugly, disgusting, nasty, all the time. He calls women pigs. Rates bodies on a scale from 1 to 10. Reporter clinton tried to stay on offense releasing this attack ad targeting trumps treatment of women. Id look her right in that fat ugly face of hers. She ate like a pig. Reporter the real clear politics average of florida polls show donald trump up by nearly a point, and an abc wall street journal poll shows that National Enthusiasm for clinton has fallen since the fbi revelations. Late last week, trump led 5351 points in enthusiasm. As of this polls release, he leads 5343, a sharp decline for clinton in recent days. The president weighed in during an outreach to young millennial voters in an interview with comedian, samantha b. When men are ambitious, its just taken for granted, well, of course they should be ambitious. When women are ambitious, why . That theme i think will continue throughout her presidency. What do we want . Reporter clinton was greeted by trump protesters at her first stop. Newly released archival documents by the fbi today of an investigation it wrapped up 11 years ago into president clintons lastminute pardon of democratic donor mark rich raised eyebrows among Clinton Campaign staff that the fbi, again, was interfering with the u. S. Election with just a week to go. Absent a foya litigation deadline, this is odd. Will fbi be mosting docs on trumps housing discrimination in 70s . A senior Law Enforcement firm tells fox this release was done in response to a standing foia request adding the releases happen as soon as theyre ready for public consumption and suggesting the timing of todays foia dump was a coincidence. Clinton and her team continued to question the fbis renewed investigation, ensuring voters the agency will reach the same conclusion as before, that theres no case there. Clinton heads to arizona tomorrow. A traditionally red state that the campaign can flip. Her running mate, tim kaine, will give a speech there on thursday entirely in spanish, a sign of just how important the campaign feels the latino vote is in these final days. Bret . Jennifer griffin with the Clinton Campaign. Jennifer, thank you. Republicans are not relying only on the email scandal to try to swing late deciding voters. They are also seizing on recent negative news about skyrocketing premiums and deductibles with obamacare. Chief Political Correspondent carl cameron has that story tonight from wisconsin. Reporter adding more policy to his closing pitch, donald trump in valley forge, pennsylvania, renewed his promise to repeal and replace the Affordable Care act on this the first day of open enrollment for next years coverage. I will ask congress to convene a special session so we can repeal and replace. And we will do it very, very quickly. It is a catastrophe. Reporter the Obama Administration announced recently that premiums are going up a minimum of 25 across the country. Here in pennsylvania, premiums are going to increase more than 60 . That means parents wont have enough money to pay their bills or get medicine for their kids. Reporter the republican ticket reunited on the road giving running make mike pence a chance to cast trumps recent surge in the polls in part to their plans to end obamacare. The latest polls have donald trump leading nationwide. Democrats and independents are joining this movement. Republicans across the country are coming home. Reporter though trumps polls have improved, hes still being outdone on the ground game and in the air war. Democrats are unloading. Accusing the fbi of a double standard for publicly discussing the clinton email investigation but not trumps ties to russia. The clinton camp released a lengthy statement and tweeted a link to reporting by the liberal website, slate, last night, suggesting one of the trump towers computer servers has communicated with russias alpha bank. The Trump Campaign denies that. The clinton camp called it the most direct link yet between donald trump and moscow. But the feds say as part of their Ongoing Investigation into russias attempted interference in the u. S. Election process, they have yet found no connection to trump. The fbi has opened a preliminary inquiry into former trump Campaign Manager Paul Manafort for consulting work done years ago for ukraines russianbacked president. Manafort has said hes heard nothing about it. Separately the New York Times say documents show trump avoided paying millions of dollars in income taxes when his creditors decades ago forgave millions of dollars in debt which he did not report as income. The legal loophole has since been outlawed by congress. Trump rallies tonight here in wisconsin, home state of House Speaker paul ryan. Today ryan said he did vote for the republican nominee, but seemed at pains to avoid actually naming the candidate. When asked if he was going to come to tonights rally for trump, ryan said he was unaware it was happening. Bret . Carl cameron live with the Trump Campaign in eau claire. Carl, thanks. Federal agents are dealing with a growing challenge at the border with mexico. An increasing number of people from farflung corners of the world are now trying to sneak into the u. S. Via that route. More than 8,000 people from india, china, romania, bangladesh, nepal, were arrested between october 2015 and this past august. Residents of philadelphia are trying to cope with a transit strike tonight, about 5,000 workers have walked off their jobs. The philadelphia system provides about about 900,000 rides a day. Does not affect Commuter Rail lines and service outside the city. Stocks were down today. The dow lost 105. The s p 500 dropped 14. The nasdaq was off 36. Tonights issues that matter report deals with a real pocketbook issue. The federal deficit. Thats the amount of money the u. S. Spends each year that it technically does not have. Those annual deficits add up to the National Debt which is closing in on 20 trillion. With a t. Tonight chief Legal Correspondent shana breen tells us its a numbers game. Americans like you seem to be losing. I dont think either candidate really gives much of a damn about the debt issue. Reporter both Hillary Clinton and donald trump have talked about it. Trump citing it in his announ announcement speeches, one of his top goals should he become president. Reduce our 18 trillion in debt because, believe me, were in a bubble. We have artificially low interest rates. Be careful of a bubble because what youve seen in the past might be small potatoes compared to what happens. So be very, very careful. Reporter and for clinton, it was part of her final argument in the last debate about why shes the right one to tackle the now nearly 20 trillion beast. I pay for everything im proposing. I do not add a penny to the National Debt. I take that very seriously because i do think its one of the issues weve got to come to grips with. Reporter yet for all their talk about the debt, neither has been very specific about actually reducing it. Anyone whos watched the debate, weve seen sort of the occasional references to it, but not really any sort of substantive plans for how to deal with the National Debt. Reporter entrepreneur will harper knows about debt. He elected to take on more of it to get his mba, and then again as the founder of a startup. Its part of his daily reality. Im paying more in servicing my debt each month than i am in rent. Reporter for harper, its a calculation about what debt now can offer versus value later. A conversation he doesnt think the candidates are having with americans. I gain tremendous benefits from having done an mba, from the education, from the network, and i think in the long term, thats going to pay off. So i hope that our critical discourse surrounding debt will look to find that calculation. Is what were getting good enough to justify the expense, particularly the expense that were going to be paying for in the future . Reporter each year the federal deficit is the difference between what the government takes in and what it spends. Since 2002, weve always been in the red, starting with a shortfall that year of nearly 158 billion. By 2004, the yearly deficit had climbed to 413 billion and began to taper off a bit. The number jumped again in 2008 to 459 billion. And from 2009 to 2012, we hit deficits well over 1 trillion every single year. By 2015, that number had slowed. Something the Obama Administration touts, but still left a federal government 438 billion in the hole for that year. Those repeated deficits have combined to push our overall National Debt to more than 19. 8 trillion. That equates to a burden on every taxpayer of nearly 167,000. Its grown a whopping 240 since 2001, and shows no signs of slowing down. And while the problem is a very real one, the consequences dont seem to be. At least not yet. Little bits of it become new each year, and theyre refinanced and refinanced with imaginary money created by the federal reserve. Its not real money, but we accept it as if it were real money. Were all sort of living in a gigantic disneyland of fake money. Reporter its hard to get president ial candidates to outline concrete plans that would certainly involve curtailing federal spending when almost no one is feeling the effects of the debt. This is a problem where both parties are basically unwilling to either acknowledge the problem or take the serious steps that are necessary to deal with the problem. Reporter scour both candidates websites, and you wont see much on the topic. Trump mentions it as a key issue, but without a plan to get rid of it. Other than an overall discussion of improving the economy. On the issues section of clintons website, the words National Debt dont seem to appear at all. Which brings us back to will harper who doesnt have the luxury of ignoring the debt hes incurred. Hes used to making significant sacrifices and he thinks americans are ready to have a conversation about how we all can if we actually want to put the country back into the black. If debt is a thing that we do need to bring down, then how can we all take on the consequences of bringing it down rather than trying to have someone else pay the consequences of reduced spending . Reporter one expert i talked with said the 20 trillion in debt is just the tip of the iceberg. That if we factored in all the debt obligations the federal government has made into the future, the figure is actually closer to 100 trillion. Bret . Amazing. Shannon, thank you. Tomorrow, our issues that matter series continues with number four. Race relations. Mike tobin reports from chicago. Up next, with all the talk about russia this election cycle, a story about how the clintons helped russia get control of half of americas uranium. First, heres what some of our fox affiliates around the country are covering tonight. Fox 48 in baltimore, federal investigators look into a crash involving a commuter bus and school bus that has left six people dead. It happened early this morning. A Public Schools official says no students are among the fatalities. Fox 6 in birmingham, alabama, experts say motorists could soon begin seeing higher costs at the gas pumps in some Southern States after a pipeline explosion in alabama. Colonial pipeline says it shut down both of its main lines of mondays deadly blast and alabamas governor has declared a state of emergency. Aaa says drivers could see higher prices within about a week. And this is a live look at new york from fox 5. One of the big stories there tonight also deals with gas. New jersey has raised its fuel tax by 23 cents a gallon. Its the first increase since 1988. The States Gasoline tax was the Second Lowest in the nation. Now its the sixth highest. Thats tonights live look outside the beltway from special report. Well be right back. I found a better deal on prescriptions. We found lower copays. And a free wellness visit. New plan. Same doctor.

New zealand . Psst. Ah, false alarm. Hey you guys are gonna scare away the deer idiots. Providing Global Access for small business. Fedex. Now tonights installment of our look at how the clinton finances, the Clinton Foundation, and the clintons ambitions often intersixect. Few stories have generated more controversy than the reports th give russia control of american uranium. The reporters, themselves, have actually been assailed including Pulitzer Prize winning New York Times reporter joe becker who we have interviewed several times on her work. Becker has stood by her story amid withering criticism from the Clinton Campaign. Lawyers cannot donate to a president ial campaign. Thats meant to limit the influence of Foreign Governments and foreigners on our political process, but they can legally donate to Charitable Foundations like the Clinton Foundation. Reporter billionaire businessman, a canadian, is a friend of the clintons and large donor to their foundation and had an interest in Uranium Mines located in kazakhstan. Bill clinton has a public press conference with president biev where he praises his rule and praises his human rights record but the bottom line is after they leave, a couple of days later, frank justra gets his uranium concessions which end up being enormously lucrative to him and a small group of canadian mining investors. His company was like a bit player and really had gone from worthless Shell Company overnight got this huge uranium mining deal and then soon after that, bill clinton got a huge donation, 31 million to his Charitable Foundation followed by a pledge to donate 100 million more. Reporter so what happened to justras company that benefitted from that deal in kazakhstan . What happened, the company merged with another Company Called uranium one. And that was in 2007. Mr. Justra told us that he at that point sold his shares and got out of the business and the new company, of course, has the kazakhstan assets that mr. Justra acquired and it also starts to go on a buying spree in the united states. Reporter and then, the russians bought it. It would amount to 50 of projected uranium output by 2015. Reporter in other words, russia took control of what was projected to be up to half of americas uranium. Now, does secretary clinton factor into this . For that deal to go through, it needs federal government approval and one of those people that has to approve that deal is secretary of state Hillary Clinton. Who as senator clinton was vigorously opposed to these kind of buys from countries into u. S. Property. Thats a great point, bret. You remember the dubai ports deal, for example, she was opposed to. We believe that no Foreign Government should control our ports. In this particular case, were talking about uranium. Were talking about things that relate to the nuclear industry. Were talking about the russian government. Which already provides equipment, material, to iran. Thats correct. Reporter it took some digging to find out how it was invested in the clinton. Lets go to the Fernwood Foundation. Its controlled by ian talfer who ends up being the chairman of uranium one, the russianowned uranium company. Ian talfer in fwec2007 made an individual contribution to the Clinton Foundation. They did disclose sha closclose. This particular case made a payment of 250,000 to the Clint Clinton justra initiative. They were required to disclose it. They failed to do that. This is a hidden contribution. Over the course of a couple years, youre talking about more than 2 million from the Fernwood Foundation to the Clinton Foundation when you actually go to the Clinton Foundation website, itself, on disclosures and type in fernwood, you find no contributions listed whatsoever. When mrs. Clinton became secretary of state, she signed a memorandum of understanding with the Obama White House because they understood that having a secretary of state whose husband is collecting money from various foreign interests could potentially pose conflicts of interest. And so they laid down certain rules. They said you cant take money from a Foreign Government and they also required that the clintons make all of their donors to their Family Foundation public. Ary to the ag that they had with the white house, those donations were never made public. Reporter ian telfer told the New York Times he made the donations based on his wish to personally support mr. Justra in his charitable work, not based on any relationship to the clintons. He also said that he never spoke to either president clinton or thensecretary clinton about his company, uranium one. Frank justra has said, quote, the New York Times story presents no evidence of wrongdoing or impropriety, replete with innuendo and irresponsible unfounded speculation. The Clinton Campaign had this to say about sweizer, Campaign Spokesman brian fallon said, Hillary Clinton herself did not participate in the review or district the department to take any position on the sale of uranium one. The Campaign Said typically these kinds of decisions dont go all the way up to the secretary and instead are decided at the assistant secretary level, and they produced assistant secretary to say she had never intervened on any case that he was involved in, but they didnt say, wouldnt, couldnt answer, is was she briefed . Did, you know, before this decision was made . They didnt say. Reporter fallon also says, without presenting any direct evidence in support of the claim, the times story like the book on which it is based, wrongly suggests that Hillary Clintons state department pushed for the saless approval to reward donors who had an interest in the deal. The biggest donors to bill Clintons Foundation built, financed and eventually sold off to the russians a company that held huge stakes in kazakhstan and american uranium reserves while she was secretary of state. The chairman of that company made undisclosed donations during that same timeframe. She was part of a process that reviews deals like this where you have a Strategic Asset and implications for national security. Becker also takes issue with the Clinton Campaign implying her reporting had anything to do with Peter Schweitzer who you also heard in that segment. To the contrary, becker says the times did its own investigating and interviews for its report. As we told you earlier, House Speaker paul ryan said today he did vote for donald trump, saying he voted for the gop nominee. But ryan reiterated h ed he wil be campaigning for trump. Other Top Republicans also withtewit withheld their support from the republican nominee though they promised to support the eventual winner of the primaries. Correspondent doug mcelway is here to tell us whos breaking that promise. Good evening, doug. Good evening, bret. It was a year ago at the first 2015 gop president ial debate . August of 2015 where you posed a question to the then ten candidates, will you pledge to support the eventual gop nominee for president . Raise your hand now if you wont make that pledge tonight. Mr. Trump. Mr. Trump. To be clear, youre standing on a republican primary i fully understand. The place where the rnc will give the nominee the nod. I fully understand. Well, as it turned out, trump, for now obvious reasons, is honoring that pledge, but another candidate has broken it. John kasich, the governor of the mustwin key swing state of ohio, voted absentee yesterday for a writein candidate, senator john mccain. Its a vote that doesnt even count in that crucial state because mccains name is not among the 18 certified writeins. Some see kasichs writein vote as a symbolic middle finger flicked at the gop nominee. Im going to say to john kasich, if youre watching, john, you signed a pledge. You signed a pledge saying you would support the republican nominee for president. You promised that you would follow through with that. Jeb bush, i would say the same thing to you. You signed a pledge. Most of trumps other vanquished primary foes have swallowed their pride and plan to vote or have already voted for him. They include senator rand paul, former governor mike huckabee, dr. Ben carson, Governor Scott walker and senator ted cruz. Still licking his trumpinflicted wounds, florida senator marco rubio also voted for trump but when asked about it seemed disinclined to admit it. Whod you vote for . Marco rubio. For president. Im not voting for in fact, i think the events over the last 72 hours reminds us, this country, we cant have a president under fbi investigation. Carly fiorina was not on that main stage at that first debate but after the trump billy bush controversy, she pushed for governor pence to head the ticket and like all the others has been vigorously campaigning against trump and for gop candidates at the statewide races. Bret, back to you. Doug, thank you. In international headlines, Iraqi Special forces have entered the outskirts of mosul and are encountering some stiff resistance from isis there.

And look at what he does. He calls women ugly, disgusting, nasty, all the time. He calls women pigs. Rates bodies on a scale from 1 to 10. Thats the campaign trail today. Here is the latest in the polls. The latest poll, tracking poll, abc Washington Post puts donald trump up 46 45 in the 4way race. Interestingly voting early versus on election day. Here you see the breakdown. Hillary clinton 54 41 . Donald trump likely voters on election day, 50 39 . And then enthusiastic, tracking very enthusiastic about a candidate, and you see saturday, sunday, donald trump 53 43 , and that changed from thursday, friday, 53 51 . Here are the candidates today. Sometimes it tells us what theyre doing. As far as the campaigns focus, donald trump in valley forge, pennsylvania, eau claire, wisconsin, his v. P. Nominee, mike pence, also in pennsylvania twice with two stops. Hillary clinton in dade city, florida. Three stops in florida today. Bill clinton also in florida. Tim kaine in appleton, wisconsin. And madison, wisconsin. President obama in columbus, ohio. Vice President Biden in charlotte, north carolina. And Bernie Sanders in portland, maine. Maine has had a lot of people there this year for two electoral votes. Mercedes schlapp. A. B. Stoddard, real clear politics. Syndicated columnist, charles krauthammer. Okay, a lot has happened, mercedes, over a short time. The question is, how much is it changing the map . Thats a great question. I mean, you would think theres been such a huge turn of events with the fbi reopening the case, wikileaks exposing a lot of this corruption of what the campaign, Clinton Campaign advisers are been talking about, whether its podesta, dumping the emails. I think that, look, theres a real challenge here which is that although the democrats are feeling this anxiety, theres this panic mode right now within the democratic party, within the clinton camp. Theyre still feeling pretty confident about the electoral map. For trump, it is critical for him to either get, besides those six key battleground states, florida, iowa, north carolina, i mean, youre talking maine, ohio, nevada. The three other states hes got to be looks at, thats only 266 electoral votes. Colorado or michigan. Or michigan. Thats still an uphill battle. Thats where i think youre going to see the Trump Campaign focusing on. If hes able to deliver the message he did today on obamacare, on trade, very effective, on message. I think it could definitely help him. Whether he can bin win it, that different story. Whats interesting, a. B. , the trump story was on obamacare and jobs and he largely stuck to the script, almost completely. The Hillary Clinton message today was about women and temperament. And what he says about women and has in the past. And it coincided with an ad that they put out today. Yeah, well lets start with trump. I thought it was very effective to focus on obamacare. I actually think this issue is moving the polls away from Hillary Clinton last week, even before the big shocker on friday. We should point out, open enrollment day for obamacare. Right. These premium hikes have been devastating. Shes been campaigning on them for over a week in the right places. Its going to be a huge issue i think when you look back at the exit polling after the results come in. Hillary clinton has no choice but to finish this campaign, although she wanted to end on give the voters something about me pitch. She cant. Shes trying to deflect away from the fbi. Shes spending too much time talking about jim comey. So she needs to go back to scaring republican women who are never going to vote for trump into getting in the car and supporting her. And thats why shes using al e Alicia Machado, all this other stuff. Its not a motivator they think its the only base play they got. Its the base play. Charles, mercedes mentioned the podesta email in wikileaks today, email change one, an exchange between john podesta and cheryl mills, former chief of staff for Hillary Clinton. This comes on march 2nd, the day 2015 the day the New York Times breaks the story about the emails. John podesta says we are going to have to dump all those emails so better do so sooner than later. Cheryl mills responds, thank you, you just got your new nickname. Get out the emails, release them. The problem is what happened. They chose to release some then they destroyed 33,000 of them with the bleach bit. The other problem is, a couple problems, one is they by commenting on this email authenticated the email and the emails that they havent done before. And the other thing is if they were going to dump the emails, they would is been dumping classified information. There is a word, if you want to release emails, there is a word for that, its called release. He didnt use the word release. He used the word dump. Dump means youre releasing something but youre doing it in a way that it will disappear. Now, it seems to me quite obvious whats going on here. The instinctive reaction of the Clinton Campaign, again, reflecting the candidate, herself, is to dump. Its to hide. Its to cover. Thats been the way the clintons have operated for 30 years and thats what they ended up doing. They ended up segregating 30,000 emails and then destroying them so that trey gowdy said even god cant read them now. That, look, whats happening here is she is now drowning in the cumulative effect of the wikileaks and of the fbi deal. She cant get her message out. I think a. B. s exactly right. When you have to bring Alicia Machado back on stage three weeks later or is it now four weeks later, that shows you got nothing left in the tank. This is a desperation move. Its her only move because nothing she says can escape the black hole of all this incoming ammunition. We are looking at all of the weeds and the details of this. Nobody is out there, but what they see is coverup, concealment and perhaps even lying. I mean theres no way out of that. If you give them the benefit of the doubt about the dump and say they were just trying to get it out, its still, to charles point, messy and i said today, somebody asked me, i said its like Donald Trumps Superstorm Sandy in that it happens right before an election, and it fits the narrative, like president obama was saying i get things done and i work across the aisle. And he shows up in new jersey and hugs Chris Christie and suddenly that fits. Its perception. This kind of malaise about the clintons on a number of fronts fits the narrative that trumps been talking about on the trail. Its a perception of the deceit of the coverup, of the dishonesty, of why we cant trust Hillary Clinton. And thats becoming, i think, just so central to this election and the fact that Hillary Clinton is not giving a good enough answer, period. Shes trying to run out the clock. She hopes she can get through election day by just focusing on donald trump. It just leaves the americans thinking, well, also you have the doj serving as sort of the political arm of the Clinton Campaign. Its messy. Its why American Voters are feeling they cant trust the government. And its why Hillary Clinton is right now basically trying to have a life saver out there to see if she can get through this election and win. We will talk about the latest specifics about that email investigation. Also, paul ryan and his role, what hes doing and saying now. More with the panel when we come back. Bp engineers use robotic ultrasound technology, so they can detect and repair corrosion before it ever becomes a problem. Because safety is never being satisfied. And always working to be better. The fbi has been frustratingly noncommittal and they dont say a thing when it comes to donald trump and investigations against him. Yet when it comes to Hillary Clinton for some reason, theyre more than happy to talk. Dont you think its interesting that hillary spends all this time talking about this and yet most of the people whove been heavily involved in protecting the security of this country for the last 20 years in both parties have endorsed thel security issue is. Former president clinton and the Campaign Manager robbie mook talking about the fbi and how its not fair what james comey did. Releasing that letter. Also talking about the lack of investigation in to a connection that they say between donald trump and the russians. The New York Times writes it up this way. Law enforcement Officials Say that none of the investigations so far have found any conclusive or direct link between mr. Trump and the russian government. And even the hacking into the democratic emails, fbi, and intelligence officials now believed was aimed at disrupting the president ial election rather than electing mr. Trump. Our sources point to the same thing, that preliminary inquiry we talked about last night. Were back with the panel. A. B. , has the focus on james comey and the democratic effort to kind of i heard numerous times that he, potentially was like j. Edgar hoover an outofcontrol fbi director. A guy that they praised just weeks ago when he finished the first investigation. Well, i dont want to be repetitive here, but i do have to go back to the facts that when james comey concluded this investigation, in which he had not impaneled a grand jury, not searched the Clinton Foundation, not allowed the agents to search her home, all of this is out of bounds and out of normal protocol and normal practice in which five grants of immunity were given to her top staffers, not including huma abedin when there was no charge brought. You give immunity when youre going to bring a charge. So now he comes back after being overly transparent on july 5th to coming in sort of giving this cryptic letter in which he doesnt talk about the actual substance of the new findings and why they could be pertinent and then we find out there was no warrant and he hadnt seen them yet or whatever. It gives oxygen for the Clinton Campaign to continue talking about why this is so unorthodox particularly when you have Senate Judiciary chairman Chuck Grassley jim jordan the caulks can guy in the house on the Benghazi Committee making her life miserable and gonzalez former a. G. For bush saying this is wrong. Doesnt this also though poke the bear and try to get whatever is on that laptop and say we told you it is illegal. Look, i think from the Clinton Campaigns point of view the attack on comey from the democrats attack on comey is classic clinton style. They went after ken starr they made him the boogie man. They turned the countrys anger against him and they won. They came out of that scandal whole, if not whole at least alive, which is what clinton had wanted. But i want to add one point on this russian bit. I dont understand why people conclude that this is not what the russians have been doing wikileaks and the tampering is not to elect donald trump but simply to disrupt the campaign. We forget two things. Donald trump is running sorry, that was a freudian slip, putin is running a oneman rule in russia. He decides what happens and people forget that he has a personal animus against Hillary Clinton. Four years ago there were demonstrations when he ran for reelection. Demonstrations in moscow that were hugely embarrassing that he and his Propaganda Machine in russia directly blamed on hillary. And hes a man who would want revenge and who would get it. And as for if his reasons are not personal but national, and why wouldnt he prefer a candidate like trump who has been praising of putin rather than somebody who would likely carry on a more antirussian policy . So why its assumed they are not doing this, the russians, deliberately, i dont understand. I think their intelligence officials have pointed to that but to the specific investigations on the ties, everybody we talked to said theyre just not. No. I understand. You can have all the intelligence information you want, but they are impugning motive to what the russians are doing. I dont see any intelligence on that that explains why its not a deliberate attempt. I want to turn quickly mercedes to what paul ryan said this morning that he has basically voted for donald trump although didnt mention his name and the other republicans who, like john kasich writing in john mccains name. People who took the pledge during the primary and are not upholding that pledge. I have to tell you i have spoken to a number of g. O. P. Grass roots activists. They are incredibly upset with the fact that the party has not united around donald trump. I think the mere fact that john kasich decided to write in john mccain that presents a problem for him politically in the future for him to even consider running for 2020 if donald trump were to lose this election. And i dont think the grass roots activists are about to forget that. A. B. . I think john kasich is a defiant guy and was told us a long time ago he wasnt going to support trump. I think if he is not running for 2020 i know he wants to be a part of rebuilding the Republican Party and he is going to stick up for the trump was a mistake wing and he wants to be a leader in that effort. He wont be alone. I think thats why he did it and why he announced it publicly. If donald trump shoots the gap and wins this election . I dont think john kasich cares. I think the Republican Party is going to have a nervous breakdown if trump wins as well, even if he loses. Going to have the same even if he loses. One way or the other, there is a civil war coming and it starts the day after election day. That is it for the panel. Stay tuned.

Tv character taking selfies in the kitchen does not make you a model. Finally tonight, president obama and the first lady hosted trickortreaters at their annual halloween White House Party yesterday. The president was all smiles as he greeted the costumed kids, even one dressed in a more politically themed costume, a lame duck. He said, michelle, look, a lame duck. Look, he has got the sling. The whole thing. All right. There you go. Thanks for inviting us into your home tonight. Thats it for this special report, fair, balanced and unafraid. A lot happening this week. On the record stars with ss with my good friend brit hume just down the hall right now. Good evening, and welcome back, im brit hume and this is on the record. The president ial race has grown even tighter tonight amid signs enthusiasm for Hillary Clinton has dropped sharply. It appears that drop may have started when the fbi reopened its case into clinton on friday. Nationally, as of this evening, the real clear politics average of polls shows clinton leading donald trump by 2. 2 points in both the two and fourway races. The betting odds meanwhile continue to favor her now but now by less than 3 to 1 as compared to nearly 5 to 1 edge she had only days ago. Our fox news electoral map has shifted in in trumps favor as well as correspondent Shannon Bream reports. It has been a wild week on the campaign trail, including several changes to our electoral map. Again, this is bas
