Trying to influence the outcome of an election. The director of the fbi under fire. You may be asking why in the world the fbi would jump in to an election with no evidence of any wrongdoing with just days to go. Took guts for director comey to make the move in light of the kind of opposition he had where theyre trying to protect her from criminal prosecution. In alabama, one worker has pipeline. Oh, my dwod, its growing to fast. Three people were were killed when a truck rearended a hey ride celebrating trick or treating in mississippi. In mosul, slow and steady advances. This is a constant day in day out. An amazing rescue at the scene of the powerful earthquake that struck italy. A dog recovered, buried in the rubble. Down the minnesota vikings. All that after you leave office, with have you thought of whispering in Donald Trumps ear, you are right, i wasnt born here. I will be organizing my post presidency where im not close enough to him to whisper in his ear. And all that matters. Nasas Early WarningIntruder Alert system spotted an asteroid when i spotted for earth last night and i think i speak for all of us when i say, asteroid on this cbs early morning. Happy halloween, everybody. Hope you like my costume that i wore. Because tonight i am dressed as the spookiest october surprise, fbi director james comey oooh this mornings eye opener is presented by toyota. Captioning funded by cbs welcome to cbs this morning. Election day is one week from today. The fbi is searching as fast as it can for emails that may have gone through Hillary Clintons private servers and one of clintons closest aides, huma abedine is reacting for the first time about those emails found on her laptop. She said in a statement, quote,le contacted us about this, miss a the bedin will always continue to be as she has been, forthcoming. The president does not believe spokesperson comey was trying to influence the election. Jeff is outside fbi headquarters. Good morning. The review of the emails is under way and the consensus is this will take time, despite a newly built sophisticated sorting through and categorizing hundreds of thousands of emails. Investigators are looking for classified material as well as anything tied to Hillary Clinton. The fbi is searching Anthony Weiners laptop, looking to zero in on emails belonging to his estranged wife, huma abedin. In a Statement Released by abedins attorney monday 23450i9, abedin learned for the laptop of Anthony Weiners could contain emails of hers. You dont get to be a smearer at large with derogatory information. Fbi director comey is facing criticism for notifying congress about launching the review less than two weeks before the election. Ill neither defend nor criticize what director comey has decided to communicate to dismissed claims that comeys actions were political. The president doesnt believe director comey is intentionally trying to influence the outcome of an election. The president doesnt believe hes secretly strategized to benefit one candidate or one political party. Hes in a tough spot. Comeys decision to Tell Congress defied a recommendation from touche general Loretta Lynch to disclose congress with more infti review. The department of justice said they are dedicating all necessary resources and taking appropriate steps as expeditiously as possible. As much information, a as much clarity about the investigation as can be made available should be made available. House judiciary chairman spoke to the fbi over the weekend. It was important for the director to make it clear that when substantial new evidence became available, they reopened the case. We havent talked to anyone who thinks that this review of all these emails will be wrapped up before election day. Just the opposite. Many of the people we spoke with seem to believe that there is a possibility of more warrants and another round of interviews. Oh, boy. So it continues. Thank you very much, jeff. Hillary clinton says the investigation will show, in her words, there is no case here. The newest real clear politics average of National Polls shows herea over three points. That is the closest margin in a month. Clintons average lead was nearly six points before the new fbi probe was reported. Nancy is in white plains, new york, covering the campaign. Nancy, good morning. Reporter good morning. Set aside for a moment how odd it is that you now have the two major candidates accusing the other of being in more trouble with the fbi than they are. Beyond that, the clinton camp is arguing that its unfair that resurrecting her case while saying nothing about trump. If they want to look at some more emails of one of my staffers, by all means, go ahead, look at them. The Clinton Campaign took its fight with the fbi to the nekt level, accusing director james comey of playing favorites. Comey has refused to comment on rumors agents are investigating russian tie toes some trump associates. Friday about new emails in the clinton case that may or may not be troubling. That is extremely troubling. Im not raising question about his loyalties. Im just saying theres a double standard and they ought to explain it. The goal is to get the focus back on trump and off clintons legal troubles. Not to mention more fallout from her hacked emails. Resigned from her position at cnn after another appearance of her passing a debate question to the Clinton Campaign in advance. Trump says the clinton should have come clean about the question. Why did Hillary Clinton not turn it in . I have a son named baron, and i want to tell you, she is a terrible example for my son and country. That i can tell you. The question was about led in Drinking Water and it came up at a primary debate in flint, michigan. In a statement, brazil says she shared all her thoughts with all of the downtownic campaign. The Clinton Campaign has had no comment. Nancy, thank you so much. The fbi reportedly spent several months investigating russias potential metaling in the u. S. Election and found no direct link to donald trump. According to the New York Times, Law Enforcement officials examined ties between they also looked at a former Trump Campaign chairmans long relationship with pro appreciatan officials in ukraine. Sources told the times that apparently connections between some of the trumps aides and moscow originally compelled them to open a broad investigation, but they uncovered no clear evidence. Major garrett is in eau claire, wisconsin, where trump will hold a rally tonight. Major, good morning. Reporter good morning. The people over my left shoulder, hearty trump supporters, three ofm arrived here more than 14 hours ahead of time for tonights trump rally. This campaign has become a battle of disqualifications. Donald trump wants to keep the focus on Hillary Clintons latest email woes while clinton wants to focus on trump and russia. In other words, were going to be tied up in court for the rest of our lives for this deal. Shes not going to win the election, but im just saying donald trump, who was involved in several ongoing lawsuits warned a Hillary Clinton presidency would become investigations. Nothing will get done. Government will grind to a halt. And our country will continue to suffer. But a new report from the New York Times reveals the fbi spent much of the summer looking into possible direct links between trump, his Campaign Staff and russia. The bureau uncovered no on evidence. Trumps former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort called the probe an outrageous smear noting there is nothing of my Business Activities to investigate. Manafort resigned in august. Still, trumps appeal to russia has puzzled democrats and russians. Hillary likes to play tough with russia. Putin looks at her and she laughs. She is such bad things about putin and then theyre supposed to negotiate with putin . Why would he do this . Found an odd stream of activity between a Trump Organization server and alpha a bank, which has tied to russian president vladimir putin. Ultimately, they discovered no proof of wrongdoing. I dont know putin, but wouldnt it be nice if we could get along, actually, with that country . It would be nice. It would be smart. According to the New York Times, the fbi concluded russias real intent was to disrupt the american political we have asked the Trump Campaign for its reaction to these various russian angles and criticisms. But have heard nothing back. Thanks, major. John heilmann, cohost of the circus on show time, a division of cbs, good morning. Hi. Is it at all likely that these emails will be released before the election . Well, theyre on an expedited schedule and theyre trying to i dont think the emails will be released, necessarily, the fbi determines they are relevant 37. An expedited schedule to determine what . To get through them all. What comey said was we found some emails that may be relevant to the investigation or may be pertinent, or may not be. Theyre trying to plow thooem through them and determine if they are pertinent and if so what next steps they might want to take. 80s slowed clintons momentum . On the basis of everything we have, the answer is no. But were still on this. But theres been some polling over the course of the weekend that suggests the race is locked and nothing that happened post comey has moved the numbers even a little bit. But theres a limited amount of data on that so far. But i hear from republicans that the race is tightening in a number of battleground states. The campaigns are saying it, no doubt. In the last week, there was tightening as we headed into the weekend. The real question is whether the races continued to tighten or revelations or the comey letter and that, again, you know, there is some internal polling that seems to suggest that. The Clinton Campaign claims not. Lets talk about the political tactic the Clinton Campaign is taking in the wake of this. Hillary clinton yesterday, there is no case here. I mean, attacking the integrity of the fbi director. Accusing them of a double standard. Its a clinton classic. Youre either on offense or on defense. Defense, the best way to staunch the bleeding is to go back and attack. Something the clintons have been masters of going back for 25 years. To be honest, playing a very bad hand, obviously the comey letter was damaging to them in a variety of ways. Having the degree of bipartisan condemnation of comey, being able to get all those surrogates together over the weekend, they did a pretty good job, purely intactical terms of trying to get back on offense. Its affected the race very much. If one wants to be cautious about this because there is so little data and well no more. But does she have a point in saying theres a double standard, that no one is investigating the russian claims against the Trump Campaign . Again, according to this reporting this morning, the investigation has reportedly been investigating the claim. The double standard question to me goes more to why director comey decided it was important to write this letter to congress on the clinton matter but was not apparently informing investigations. You know, i think from the general view the Standard Practice here is that if youre conducting an investigation, you conduct the investigation in rieft. In private. You dont tell anybody about it. If you decide to indict, you indict. If you decide not to indict, you dont indict. Director comey blew that precedent out of the water back in july when he first decided not to indict her. That was unusual and he came criticism this time. So youre suggest he should not have done that in the beginning, he should not have had a press conference to go say what the conclusion of the investigations were . Im suggesting that it was highly atypical and it was a break with precedent, again, then. Democrats liked it back then because of the fact that he decided not to indict her. Now democrats hate it and the whole thing has been flipped around. If i recall, for months, the Trump Campaign criticized comey. Now theyre singing his praises. Its all selfinterest. You criticize him if he says things you dont like and praise him if he says things you like. Its sort of how i handle my live, right . Say something night about me. Youre a great guy. You have such integrity and sound judgment. Charlie, saying something mean about me. You are a low down. You are a person with no elthiccal standards whatsoever, engage in bad judgment and double standards. John, i like your glasses. I think, john, youre reproach. Youre a Great American.
