Reexamining what clinton did four months after saying the case was closed. Then Clintons Campaign manager robby mook responds. Plus, well ask our sunday panel how the fbis announcement reshapes the president ial race. All right now on fox news sunday. And hello again from fox news in washington. The president ial campaign has taken a dramatic turn with the fbi announcement its reviewing new evidence in the clinton private email case. That was triggered by a separate investigation into sexting by former new york congressman Anthony Weiner, estranged husband of top clinton aide huma abedin. Both the clinton and trump camps are calling on the fbi to release the details. Were going to spend the full hour drilling into the effect this may have on the race. Clinton Campaign Manager, robby mook, and the chairman of the house Intelligence Committee, devin nunes. Chris, a Law Enforcement source tells fox news that thousands of records are involved. The new york fbi team assessed them as relevant, telling their colleagues on the clinton email case, quote, we think weve come across some documents pertinent to your evidence. Clinton wants the evidence publi and complete facts. And so weve called on director comey to explain everything right away, put it all out on the table. A source close to the fbi probe could not recall issuing a subpoena for abedins records, adding they did not believe the device shared is by abedin and weiner was searched by agents. Abedin told the fbi she sent state department emails, including this one from clinton, to her personal yahoo account, in june, abedin swore under oath that she looked through all her devices that could old government email. On thursday, fbi director james comey was briefed on the findings. That same day, he decided to reinitiate the email case and notify congress. The directors decision is described to fox news as driven by the sheer volume of records and the commitment he made under oath. Would you reopen the clinton investigation if you discovered new information that was relevant and substantial . Its hard for me to answer in the abstract. We would certainly look at any new and substantial information. In his memo to employees, comey said they dont know if the emails are significant. The former fbi agent said anything suggesting intent, lying to investigators, obstruction of justice, or sharing classified information with a foreign entity would warrant such a move. The director notified the attorney general of his decision, which the Justice Department did not support and theres no expectation that a review can be complete before katherine, thank you. Joining me now live here in studio, the republican Vice President ial nominee, indiana governor mike pence. Governor, welcome back to fox news sunday. Thank you, chris. What is your reaction to the fbi reopening the clinton case . Well, we commend the director of the fbi and the fbi for following through on their work. That if there was new information, pertinent inform congress and move forward. This is a clearly very serious matter, and we respect the institution of the fbi and are confident theyll handle this in a professional and timely way. But fbi officials note that they are just starting to look at these emails. They dont know whether any of them are classified. They dont even know whether they may be duplicates of emails that theyve already seen in the investigation. So shouldnt you and mr. Trump be cautious in talking about how well, i think we have been cautious. But the simple fact is that the decision by the fbi this summer was incomprehensible to millions of americans. The director of the fbi literally called a press conference in which he chronicled one violation of the law after the other and then announced that he was not going to pursue charges or recommend charges against Hillary Clinton in this case. Two days later, he undercut that decision by going before the congress and saying in so many ways that Hillary Clinton had misrepresented the facts. You remember that famous dialogue between trey gowdy and the director of the fbi, where he said that Hillary Clinton said that nothing marked classified was on her emails, was that true. The director said it was not true. She had never sent classified emails. That was not true. Here is troubling to the American People, and its convincing millions of americans that Hillary Clinton is just a risky choice in this election. I think thats why since friday you see more momentum, but frankly, there was enormous momentum in our campaign before friday because the American People are focusing on the choice. You say shes a risky choice. How does this alter the campaigns messag in what is just now nine days . How do you use this to change voters minds . I dont thi campaign at all. We had tremendous momentum in this campaign before this announcement came. Im talking about the message. Well, the message is very simple. The American People have been troubled about the fact that Hillary Clinton continues to refuse to turn over some 33,000 emails. But beyond that, its Hillary Clintons record as secretary of state that weakened americas place in the world. Its her desire to continue the failed economic policies of this economy. The news on monday that obamacare premiums are about to go up 25 next year all across the country on average is deeply troubling to the American People. And Hillary Clintons commitment, as she said to you in that president ial debate, to have people on the Supreme Court that represent a particular view point as opposed to people on the court who will strictly uphold the constitution, thats our message. Thats why people are rall i want to get back to this question of the fbi announcement. The fact is, as you try to press your pace in this final nine days, your campaign has a big money problem. I want to put it up on the screen. As of october 20th, the last filing day, the Clinton Campaign had 62 million cash on hand. The Trump Campaign had just 16 million with trump donating only 31,000 in the first half of the month. Now, trump announced friday that million, but youre still way behind and trump is way short a third short of 100 million he promised he was going to commit to the campaign. Has he told you hes going to put a lot more money into this campaign . Well, im grateful for the extraordinary generosity that donald trump and his family have continued to show to this campaign. But has he told you hes going to put more money in . Hes made it clear we our message. From the outset of this campaign, Hillary Clinton has had most of the media, the money, and the special interests on her side. But donald trump has made a connection with millions of americans because hes talking about making america stronger, making america more prosperous, and the remarkable thing is against this avalanche of paid advertising in states around the country. You still see tremendous momentum in this campaign. And its really important to tremendous momentum as people are coming to the polls. Were seeing absentee ballots in key states. Heres the problem. One of the key concerns a lot of voters have about donald trump is his temperament. I just want to show how trump, how dramatically he changed his mind about the fbi and comey in just a few hours on friday. Here he is. The fbi rolled over, and the department of justice rolled over. I have grea for righting this wrong. For weeks trump has been saying that the election is rigged. Now in the course of a couple hours on friday, he says, well, maybe its not as rigged as i thought it was. Is that president ial . Well, i think what you see here is an example of real leadership. Donald trump wait, how is that leadership to say i mean, in other words, the argument that you liked it or not, made a goodfaith decision last july. He made a goodfaith decision on friday. And neither of those show its rigged. But trump was ascribing the worst possible motives to it. Thats because we thought the investigation should never have been closed, chris. Donald trump the reason why hes appealed and people all across this country, the reason why you see the momentum in this campaign is because people find in donald trump someone that just speaks his mind, tells people exactly it was just incomprehensible this summer when the director of the fbi came out and he literally indicted Hillary Clinton in the press and then said were not recommending that she be indicted. When anyone in the service i mean, youve got general cartwright and others, people who have done a fraction of the number of things that Hillary Clinton has done in the mishandling of classified information have been prosecuted, and frankly as i debate, if my son or tim kaines son had mishandled classified information the way Hillary Clinton had and the fbi said she had, they would have at least been courtmartialed. It was incomprehensible. Donald trump continued to make that case. Now with new information, i think we all want to recognize that the fbi is stepping forward at this moment and has demonstrated real integrity to keep their word to republicans and democrats in the congress and say we have found whats being described now of information, new information, and that we have reopened the investigation and its important they told the congress that before this election. Were confident theyll work through that in a timely way. You said, governor, that trump and one of his strengths, yo uh say, is that he speaks his mind. Youve got a lot of ammunition going into this final week. Youve got this new investigation by the fbi or at least its review of the emails. Youve got the wikileaks and the revelations about the clinton spike that youve just mentioned. But trump gets so easily sidetracked. In the same week, he was threatening to sue nbc for releasing the access hollywood tape. He was threatening to sue the women who had accused him. What do you say to voters who may worry that Hillary Clinton is corrupt but worry whether or not donald trump is competent . Well, i think people look at the totality they look at the agenda were running on. They look at the totality of a career of a man who has built an extraordinary business. And they know theyre looking at a leader in donald trump. And donald trump has an agenda. Our contract with the american voter, people can go online and read it. In the first hundred days after we not only election the Trump Pence Team but reelect republican majorities in the congress, were going to turn this country around. Were going rebuild our military. Were going to revive our smarter trade deals, and were going to appoint members to the Supreme Court who will strictly construe the constitution. That along with the backdrop of all the politics of personal enrichment that has been at the very center of 30 years of the clintons in public life. Governor, as i said in the debate, your time is up. But thank you very much. Governor, thank you. Espec here to washington to visit with us. You bet. Now we want top turn to the chair of the house Intelligence Committee, congressman devin nunes of california. Mr. Chairman, the Clinton Campaign is suggesting that the emails that the fbi has found may just be duplicate of ones theyve already seen. I want to play for you an exchange that director comey had in a congressional hearing last month when some republicans were complaining about the fact that he had closed the case and there here it is. Would this not require a reopening of the investigation to solve those issues . I havent seen anything that would come near to that kind of situation. Chairman, do you think its likely that director comey reopened this investigation with just 11 days to go before the election with no idea whats in the emails and whether or not this is a substantial development or not . To me, chris, this has to i just dont see director comey opening this case back up 11 days before the election unless it is quite serious. Look, theres a lot of different scenarios here that are possible. Is it possible that maybe some of these emails are part of the 33,000 that are missing . Is it possible there are communications between huma abedin and her husband, the former congressman . There are a lot of scenarios that are possible here, but i think after the several meetings director comey, he was quite clear that the investigation was done and that he would only open it if there was significant information. My guess is there must be something significant. These emails were apparently on a laptop that was shared by huma abedin and her estranged husband Anthony Weiner. As chairman of the house Intelligence Committee, does it concern you that Anthony Weiner apparently had access to what may have been classified information . House Intelligence Committee and part of the legislative branch to provide oversight over the executive branch to ensure first and foremost that classified information remains classified. And thats why, you know, i just cant believe that weve called on director clapper to investigate this, to possibly pool more classified information clintons staff be given classified briefings at this point. I think its a question that needs to be answered. Look, at the end of the day, we dont want to speculate here, but it is our job to make sure this information remains classified. You brought up the director of national intelligence, general clapper. You have said more than that. You have said that you believe he should ensure, the director of national intelligence, that Hillary Clinton never gets access again to classified briefings and classified material. Youre talking about the person who in just over our president elect. That is right. Because we are a separate branch of government. And i believe that the information that you know, its just not believable that secretary clinton, with all of her experience, decades of experience, decades of receiving classified information, would not have known that she was communicating in classified information over an unsecured network. Its not believable. Now, if you go back to what director comey said, he gave a pretty strong indictment back in july, but what he really said was, look, she should have known, she was reckless. He just didnt have enough information to indict her on this. The word out of the fbi is that this investigation, and i think from all the kind of metabolism, if you will, of the fbi, will not be concluded by election day. Would it be fair to say that if clinton wins and if republicans hold on to be the house, you continue to be the chair of house intelligence, for instance, that there will be investigations, more investigations of the woman who could be our president elect . Well, we will clearly investigate all of the relates to classify information being put on Unclassified Networks where russians, chinese, other back actors could get ahold of the information. Look, i know even if shes the president elect, chairman . Well, look, i know this is rhetoric, but this is Hillary Clintons fault. This is Hillary Clinton who set up a private server. This is not house republicans. And on friday, friday night, secretary clinton holds a press conference in she attacks director comey, which is ridiculous, and then she goes and during the q a portion, she says that a letter was sent some letter was sent by the director of the fbi to house republicans. Look, she knows better. She was a United States senator. She was a first lady. She was secretary of state. She knows good and well that republicans and democrats, the chairman of house intelligence and the house and senate and notified of this information. So just friday night is another concern of mine. She knows the game. She knows whats going on here. Chairman nunes, we want to thank you. Thank you for your time today. Always good to talk with you, sir. Up next, Hillary Clinton tells the fbi, get all the facts out. Well talk with her Campaign Manager robby mook when we come right back. Those new glasses . They are. Do i look smarter . Yeah, a little. Let me introduce you to our broker. How much does he charge . I dont know. Okay. Uh, do you get your fees back if youre not happy . dad laughs wow, youre laughing. Thats not the way the world works. Well, the worlds changing. Are you asking enough questions about the way your wealth is managed . Wealth management, at charles schwab. Youre here to buy a used car, truck, suv. Thats smart. Already knew that. Its also great for finding the perfect used car. Youll see what a fair price is, and you can connect with a truecar certified dealer. So, no matter what youre looking for. There it is. This is how buying a used car should be. This is truecar. A look outside the beltway in manchester, new hampshire, where Hillary Clinton campaigned this week. Joining me now from clinton headquarters in brooklyn, new york, to discuss fridays shocker is clinton Campaign Manager robby mook. Robby, whats your reaction to fbi director comeys announcement, and why do you think he did it . Chris, thanks for having me. You know, we were very surprised by what were asking at this point is director comey get all the information out on the table, all of it, so the American People can judge for themselves. This issue was vetted through for months. Director comey came to a conclusion. We believe the voters have already made up their minds on this issue. So we find it very strange that ten days out, that hes putting this letter out there. And we discovered last night from yahoo news that he and the messages. We just want all the information out there. Why do you think he did it . I dont know. And this is the problem, chris. This letter was put out there. We have no information whatsoever about what might be in those emails. Again, according to yahoo news , it appears he may not have seen any of these emails at all. So we think he has a responsibility to the American People to get the information out there so they can judge for themselves. You responsibility of the American People to get all the information. There is someone who knows whats in all those emails and that is huma abedin. Has secretary clinton asked her whats in those emails . Well, chris, the problem with what youre saying there is we dont know. We dont know where these emails are from. Youre making an inference it could have been huma abedin. Your guess is as good as anyone. This is why director comey needs to get all the information out there. Im asking you a direct question. Abedin what was on that laptop that she shared with her husband Anthony Weiner . She hasnt. You just offered a hypothetical on the table. Let me offer you some hypotheticals ive read in the press. Ive heard a hypothetical that these emails have nothing to do with Hillary Clinton whatsoever, that she didnt send or receive any of them. That doesnt matter. Its still the question of whats in the emails. So why wouldnt she asked huma abedin, did you have emails on the laptop and whats in them . You and i are on the same page here. I want to know whats in these emails too. Director comey has put out a letter. It has three paragraphs. It says nothing about huma abedin. It says nothing about who these emails were to or from. He just says he has information that may be significant. We dont even know if it is. You showed some of his testimony to Congress Just now where they asked if theres significant information, would you reopen the case, and he said yes, we will take a look at it. Yahoo news last night, we dont even think hes taken a look at any of this. We dont know if anybody has. There is at least theres credible reporting out there that this came from the laptop of Anthony Weiner and huma abedin. Why on earth wouldnt Hillary Clinton say to her closest personal aide, was there any stuff on your laptop, and what was it . Chris, again, i appreciate your question because people want answers. Theres nothing about abedin in the letter that was sent out. I know, but why wouldnt clinton ask her . Why wouldnt clinton ask anybody . They could be emails from anybody in the world. There are no reports its anybody else except huma abedin. Again, youre putting out some hypotheticals. There are other hypotheticals that have been put out there. Its on the front page of every paper, including, i suspect, yahoo news. Again, i appreciate what answer this question. Thats director comey. He should put out more information, get everything on the table. Release the information itself. At least provide more detail about what hes talking about. Ten days out from an election, hes come under intense criticism from former Justice Department officials who said this is entirely a breach of protocol. Theres a standard that, you know, six weeks from an election you dont put out insinuations like this. Innuendo. We have no details whatsoever. Robby, i want to move on and ask you about secretary clintons reaction. Heres part of what she said on friday night. If theyre going to be sending this kind of letter that is only going originally to republican members of the house that they need to share whatever facts they claim to have with the American People. Robby, why would she say very long. Its the letter that comey sent to congress. On the front page, its got the eight republican chairmen of the committees. If you turn it over, you have the eight Top Democrats on the committee. Why would she say it was just sent to the republicans when, in fact, it was sent to the republicans and democrats . You know, chris, this has been really overhyped. Well, she said it, i didnt. We were all surprised by this letter. She looked at the front page, on the front page of that memo t lists those republican chairs. Were the democrats cced at the end . Absolutely. She looked at the front page. She acknowledged, we all acknowledge this was sent to everybody. What were concerned and disturbed by is director comey sent a letter saying we have some information, i dont know if its significant, i dont know if it isnt, he didnt say where it came from, what it was ant. He didnt even say whether these emails were sent or received by furthermore, another hypothetical out there is these are duplicates that have already been released. We need all the information, and director comey needs to get it out fast. I want to make one more point about this letter. You say its hype. Comey sent the letter about 1 00 p. M. Eastern time on friday. Your campaign chairman, john podesta, put out a statement at 3 45 p. M. In which he made exactly the same charge that this letter had been sent just to the republicans, not to the democrats. Three hour and 15 minutes later, charge. This was a talking point of your campaign and frankly was a dishonest talking point. Chris, if your question is whether Democratic Leaders were cced on that letter, the answer is absolutely yes. Whats disturbing about this, again, is that a threeparagraph letter with no information whatsoever about what the fbi is talking about was sent to the individuals named on the letter. It took Jason Chaffetz about, i and now all your interviews this morning have been full of hypotheticals and conjectures. Director comey owes it to the American People, releasing this just a matter of days before the election, to get all of it out there and the voters can judge for themselves. We think the voters actually want to hear about what these two candidates are going to do to make a difference in their lives, not more relitigating of this email. And we recognize that the director was under tremendous pressure from donald trump and Republican Leaders and now hes under tremendous pressure from your side. The last question i want to ask you is that youre acting as if it was the director who brought this into the election when the fact is that it was Hillary Clinton who brought this into the election. I want to go back to the email exchange on march 2nd, 2015, when the New York Times broke the story about Hillary Clinton using private emails. Screen. Clintoned a vieder, why didnt they get the stuff out like 18 months ago . So crazy. Campaign chairman john podesta, unbelievable. Tanden, i guess i know the answer, they wanted to get away with it. Robby, it was clinton who delayed and clinton who brought this into the president ial campaign. And it is secretary clinton who has said this was a mistake. It is secretary clinton who cooperated fully with the investigation. And it was accepted the outcome of that investigation. And what secretary clinton is doing now is saying, if theres new information, get it out on the table. Lets get it out. These could be duplicates. Again, its been reported these emails may not have been sent or received by secretary clinton. We dont know anything. And this close to an election, this unprecedented announcement of new information, when again, its been reported by yahoo director comey sent this unprecedented letter shortly before the election when he doesnt even know what the information is. Thats disturbing, and were just asking him, get everything out there that he knows. Robby, thank you. Thanks for joining us today. Always good to talk with you. You as well. Thanks for the opportunity. Up next, well bring in our sunday group to discuss director james comeys stunning announcement. Plus, what would you like to ask the panel about the fbi decision to reopen the clinton email investigation . Just go to facebook or we may use your question on the coming up, a political stunner from the fbi just days ever the election. It might not be as rigged as i thought. This new information may not be significant, so lets get it out. Well ask our sunday group about its impact next. Really . The fbi said there were 110 classified emails that were exchanged. Hillary lied. And another lie . I respect the second amendment. But behind closed doors, hillary told liberal elites. The Supreme Court is wrong on the second amendment. Hillary will lie about anything to get elected. The nra institute for legislative action is responsible for the content of this advertising. . Love really really really is the answer . . Everybody join hands cuz its time now, you know . . Spread the love, spread the love . . All over the world . This is a great man. We are very privileged in our country to have him be director of the fbi. That is not the fbi that i used to work with. Well, that was then when House Democratic leader nancy pelosi and republican congressman trey gowdy had sharp reactions to fbi director comey recommending no charges against Hillary Clinton. But this is and now its gowdy whos applauding comey while its pelosi who is expressing concerns. And its time for our sunday group. Syndicated columnist in, george will. Charles lane from the washington post. Gerald seib, Washington Bureau chief of the wall street journal. And Washington Examiner contributor, lisa boothe. George, what do you make of comeys decision to reopen the investigation and to Tell Congress about it over the objection of the Justice Department . Well, its baffling. Fbi has new evidence. Theres no evidence whatever yet that theres new evidence pertaining to the email thing. This is a contentless october surprise at this point. What mr. Comey said is the emails appear to be pertinent. Well, they can be pertinent without being significant because they can be redundant in demonstrating extreme recklessness. The category the fbi invented to avoid accusing her of gross negligence, which is so we perhaps, and we dont know this, perhaps the fbi has already seen these documents. They dont know whether theyre duplicates or not. After mr. Comey has said no reasonable prosecutor could have looked at what theyve already looked at and proceeded with a case. Now, the i in the acronym fbi says investigation. The duty of the fbi is to investigate and when it thinks investigation, to pass its conclusion on to the prosecutorial arm of the department of justice, not to write letters to the legislative branch of government. People say, well, this is happening 11 days before the election. No, no, 17 million votes have already been cast. Its happening in the middle of the voting. And finally it is said that one of the reasons he rushed to do this, mr. Comey, is he was afraid of a leak. The fbi cant be trusted not to leak its as chairman grassley said with some understatement, that the country at this point immediately needs some context for all this. Well, that raises the question, gerry, about why comey did this. As we saw in a couple of exchanges so far earlier in the show, he was being pressed by republicans to reopen the investigation. First of all, what hed seen so word substantial. It had to be something substantial to reopen the investigation. Can you imagine that he does what he does, in effect reopens the investigation, tells congress about it, he can read the calendar, 11 days before the election, without any idea whats in here . Well, that seems to be the case. The assumption in this town right away was he must have found Something Big or he wouldnt have done this. Then i think upon reflection, its not clear the fbi seen these emails. Theres a court order required to read the emails. Certainly the part of the fbi that was investigating the sexting scandal and i cant believe were talking about this they must have seen it because they seized the laptop. Theyve had it for about a month. He said they came to him with something, so they must have known there are emails here. But was the something the existence of the emails or the substance of the emails . I think the point and more directly to respond to your question, i think director comey had to be convinced that he was in an impossible situation. If he didnt Say Something now and it became clear after the election that something new and potentially significant had arisen and he hadnt said anything, he could be excoriated for that. Instead, hes been excoriated for this. Hes managed to accomplish bipartisanship in washington, and its gotten everybody mad at him. We asked you for questions for the panel. A this from carl. How can these new emails be more damning than the previous emails in the investigation . Whats the point of this new investigation . Lisa, how do you answer . I dont know. I think were all operating on a lot of hypotheticals because theres not a lot of information out there. All we really know is the letter the fbi director comey sent to information that we know definitively. Watching the interview you did with robby mook, i mean, its very interesting for the Clinton Campaign to say that they want the information out there when Hillary Clinton had taken the unprecedented action of setting up a private server in the first place, deleting tens of thousands of emails and stone walling in the process and lying throughout it. If you look at the attorney general as well, whos being critical of the fbi and comeys decision as well, general has no moral high ground to stand on either. She compromised herself in meeting with bill clinton and then had to defer to fbi director comey entirely throughout this entire thing. So i think fbi director comey is between a rock and a hard place. What is he supposed to do . He either releases the information now, which is ultimately what he decided to do, or rather send the letter, or wait until after the election. Then how is that going to go . There really isnt a good decision for him to make here. Cover when attorney general essentially has laid this entire thing at his feet. Chuck, there are two, i think its fair to say, maybe more, but two leading theories inside the beltway right now. One is that comey is involved in a cover your rear end operation because of all the heat he took when he announced last july that the case was closed despite his political, not legal, but his political indictment of clinton. The other is that there must be something that he thinks is significant enough that he cant ignore it. Where do you come down . I think they could both be true, actually. And i think that i tend to sort of sympathize with the view that the fbi director was kind of between a rock and a hard place. Either way he was going to be under a lot of heat. I think what this speaks to is a broader breakdown in the ordinary institutional processes of our criminal justice system. Discussing the Ongoing Investigations publicly. Thats just rule one. That can lead to innuendo, smearing of innocent people. Its closely related to the presumption of innocence in our constitution. Now things have gotten so screwed up that the target of the investigation, Hillary Clinton, is essentially begging to have the Ongoing Investigation take place in public. This is related to the mistake Loretta Lynch made by visiting with shes now out of the game. So no one in the Justice Department can exercise control over the fbi director. Theyre saying, well, we told him in a meeting this wasnt a good idea. Why didnt they just say, we order you not to do it . I dont understand that. We have a complete breakdown. Thats something that if everybody in this country wasnt worried about whether their party was winning or not, that is what is really so disturbing about this whole thing. All right. We have to take a break here. All this, whether the fbi decision will reshape the race just nine days before the hillary has nobody to blame but herself for her mounting legal troubles. Her criminal action was willful, deliberate, int purpos purposeful. Its pretty strange to put Something Like that out with such Little Information right before an election. Hillary clinton and donald trump on the campaign trail this weekend in the wake of the fbi announcement its found new emails relevant to the clinton investigation. Were back now with the panel. The news is breaking while were on the air. Our colleague has just sent us an email saying he has two sources who say that anthony coownership of that laptop with his estranged wife huma abedin, is cooperating with the fbi investigation, had given them the laptop, so therefore they didnt need a warrant to get in to see the contents of said laptop. Pretty interesting development. Lets talk about the politics of all this. We actually have an election in nine days. Gerry, there was, i think its fair to say, a growing sense that Hillary Clinton was leading in this election and probably called into question. I want to the put up a new abc News Washington post poll thats out this morning. It shows that this is now a onepoint race in a fourperson contest. Clinton, 46 . Trump, 45 . This was taken this weekend, postfbi announcement. Lets go to the impact on support for Hillary Clinton. Makes them less likely to support Hillary Clinton, and theres a sizable democratic component in that 34 . Does this sense that Hillary Clinton was sailing to victory here, does that go out the window now . Look, i think this race was destined to tighten anyway. They always do at the end. You have undecided voters who are starting to drift toward donald trump a little bit anyway because if they hadnt decided at this point, they may have already decided not to vote for her. You have some gary johnson voters, the libertarian candidate. His support was shrinking. Those people like Trump Supporters. And you also have some republicans coming home, which tends to happen late in the game. So i think there was going to be some tightening. This probably increases the tightening. But you also have to say on the other hand that a lot of the country is already locked in one way or the other. And there may actually be a small Silver Lining for Hillary Clinton that a lot of her voters were getting a little apathetic. Theyre probably more motivated now. I think in the aggregate, its the race is hard to predict at this point. Lisa, the clinton email scandal has been going on for literal a year and a half now. A lot of people felt it had already been priced into the polls. You knew how you felt about it, and that was already reflected in who you were going to vote for. Does the reopening of the fbi investigation change that . I do, because if you look at polling after fbi director comey had given his press conference, 5 comeys decision to not recommend an indictment. 60 of independents did as well, including 31 of democrats. So i think there was this general sentiment that she kind of got away with something. But having the cover of having the fbi not recommend an indictment sort of shielded her and protected her from some of that criticism. Now that door is reopened. If im donald trump, im not going to get into the nuance too much of this because theres still a lot of lingering questions. All he has to say is the fact that we have a candidate for the fbi investigation. And also, he has been on the campaign trail driving this message of draining the swamp, of corruption in government, running as the outsider. You know, what better narrative do you need than this to make that point . To gerrys point, i do think this helps donald trump, but it also helps on the down ballot races. Now Senate Republicans running in tight races dont have to be on the defense. They get to go on the offense. Let me pick up was saying, and lisa. George, does this energize Trump Supporters who may have been losing hope as the polls seem to be going against them . What impact does it have on people who were going to hold their nose unenthusiastically and vote for clinton . What impact does it have on republicans trying to hold on to the senate . It could well be that by slowing whatever momentum mrs. Clinton had, it does help the down ballot republicans. Fundamental trump narrative, which is burn it down, blow it up, im terrible, but who could be worse than the people running washington . 1962, the new york mets are en route to losing a record 120 games. Their manager is casey. He looks at his bench and says, cant anyone here play this game . I think people look at washington and say no one there can play the game. So it strengthens in a sense the perverse trump message, which is i may be awful, but what could and why do you think it could have an impact on the senate races . Well, because some people can say, well, lets go out and vote for people for whom we could have some enthusiasm. Maybe a Senate Candidate we like. A gubernatorial candidate. I suppose it also adds to the argue, if clinton is going to be the president , they need a check on her. Chuck, is this a potential game changer in your mind . And to get to this question, little bit with mike pence, can trump take advantage of it . Can he stay on script . Lisa said hes just got to make this point, keep it simple. Youve got an fbi youve got a president ial candidate under fbi investigation. Can he stick to that . An answer to that question, i would say if anybody in politics could blow this, it would be donald trump. Because he has fumbled away so many other gifts. So yes, of course its possible he could fumble it away. But to the first p question as to whether or not its a game changer, im going to say a tentative no simply because the polling on this race has been even though the margin of hillarys lead has been variable and its now at a lower ebb, shes never really been behind. Not since the convention. And i think that as you were saying before, the email thing is largely priced in. As george pointed out, millions of people have already cast their ballots. Having said that, i think what that hillary is now trying to actually turn it into an advantage. The way shes talking about it is to cast herself as the victim of this sort of profid use fbi director and to enflame and arouse the Democratic Base over this issue. Im surprised she decidd she had to address it. But she is making it, as you say, that taing on comey in a very aggressive way. When you really think about it, theres no other play. In truth, the email thing is a mistake. Her own people have admitted it. Shes admitted it. The only way to turn this to her advantage at this late date is to present it as sort of a dirty trick. Shes not saying that openly. Lets face it. Theres a lot of conspiracy theorists in the Democratic Party base as well as the republican ones, and she is attempting and who knows, trick. This is also the fbi director she had previously praised after he came to his former conclusion. Come on. The political hypocrisy on both sides. You had trump saying its rigged. Absolutely. I concede that. Real quick regarding the down ballot. The better donald trump does at the top of the ticket, the better those Senate Republicans do. Thats how it helps the down ballot. Thank you, panel. See you next sunday, two days before the election. Who knows what well be talking about then. Up next, from flying papers to pig skins to an fbi bomb shell, it was some week on the look at the city of pittsburgh, pennsylvania. One of the battlegrounds in this election. This week ended with a stunning surprise, but thats not the way it started. Its remarkable to see how much trail. If we win on november 8th, we are going to washington, d. C. , and we are going to drain the swamp. Now, donald trump says he can still win, and hes right. Thats why its so important everyone gets out and votes. Two years ago when we promised the city of d. C. That trump would be coming to had no idea what we were foreshadowing. His hotel is at about 1300 pennsylvania avenue. Thats going to be the only building with a trump in it. I ate my piece. I highly recommend it if youre a chocolate lover. The plane skidded off the runway. I just spoke to mike pence. Hes fine. Any landing you walk away from is a i want you to run through the tape. I dont want you to do a usain bolt and kind of look back, all smiling. She is absolutely ready to be commander in chief on day one, and yes, she happens to be a woman. The investigation is the watergate, and its everybodys hope that justice at last can be delivered. Its imperative that the bureau explain this issue in question, whatever it is, without any delay. Oh only have a couple well, there goes my notes. Okay. Its going to be a lot speech now. Who knows what twists and turns this campaign will take in the final nine days. And thats it for today. Have a great week, and well see . . You say the sport that you love is a sport that you wont give away . . Across the sea and we will see touchdown spikes . . Why so sad remember its still your captain sent over to play . . Now youre making me mad . . Remember despite your amazement were still fans
