Good morning to you. It is tuesday, november 1st. Im betty nguyen alongside alex witt. All eyes on the fbi as the country waits for more developments in the investigation of Hillary Clintons private email server. In letters responding to complaints from democratic lawmakers yesterday, the Justice Department promised that it will work closely with the fbi and take appropriate steps as swiftly as possible. Investigators made a duplicate of the hard drive from a laptop computer belonging to Anthony Weiner and are now going through it. An automated process will narrow down the emails that are not clintons, then down to ones that were created while clinton was secretary of state, and then searching for emails that were not previously seen by investigators for classified information. That does not answer complaints about director comey revealing these developments on the second to last weekend before the election. White house spokesman john earnest said the president would neither criticize

Prime minister theresa may met with the queen who is now 91 years old and opening a new stand at a cricket round but neither is the queen more Prince Philip has recently reported to be in poor health. Has since been out and about, looking extremely well. These Staff Meetings happen from time to time but dont usually attract this kind of attention. We will update you on what this is about.

Hand the republicans are criticizing it saying the cbo is not a good indicator on how it will make its way through the american public. They are pointing to positive aspects of it, including 200 billion dlarls in deficit savings. That could be a carrot Mitch Mcconnell uses to get it back into the bill that may satisfy them. That is what we are looking for in this 1 00 meeting. What exactly can Mitch Mcconnell do to bring them together to come up with some sort of solution to the Health Care Problem and get it done by friday . You mentioned house speaker, paul ryan, skeptical of the cbo. One person he is not skeptical of is Mitch Mcconnell. Listen to what he said this morning. I would not bet against Mitch Mcconnell.
