Helped by this big blast. It is gone they have now got a 31 lead in the world series. Can they win it all tonight or will there be a cubs comeback . Hello. On a sunday morning, we want to say thank you for joining us on gma. We do begin with an embattled Hillary Clinton trying to go on offense. Overnight she ripped into the director of the fbi, james c comey, who rocked the Clinton Campaign with the announcement days before the election that his mails that may be relevant to the investigation into clintons now infamous private server. In the meantime, donald there he is overnight, out on the stump, pressing his case with renewed vigor. The latest poll numbers have to be putting an added spring in his step. According to the latest abc news tracking poll, clintons lead has shrunk to just one point. Look at the change over the past week. Clintons lead going from 12 points down to 1. This thing is tight. And it is late. And we have Team Coverage this morning. George stephanopoulos is standing by with analysis, but were starting here with abcs mary bruce who is with the Clinton Campaign in miami. Mary, good morning to you. Reporter hi. Good morning. With the clock ticking this morning the Clinton Campaign is in full attack mode going directly after the fbi director accusing him on being vague with the facts and opening the door to conspiracy theories. Some of you may have heard about a letter that the fbi director sent out yesterday. [ boos ]h nine days to into a new opponent, fbi director, james comey. Its pretty strange to put Something Like that out with such Little Information right before an election. Reporter clinton questioning the directors motivation and demanding answers. In fact, its not just strange. Its unprecedented, and it is deeply troubling. Reporter and shes getting some backup. Top Democratic Senators drew a line in the sands. In a letter to the fbi director setting a halloween deadline for him to release more information about the emails and this investigation. Abc news has learned the directors announcement sparked a fierce internal feud at the justice department. Sources say senior justice officials strongly objected to comeys decision to go public, and announce its review of newly found emails possibly linked to clintons server. Its been tradition for the agency not to take investigative action close to an election for but in an internal staff memo, comey says he felt an obligation to Tell Congress anyway. Even though theres no evidence of wrongdoing by clinton. Now clinton is accusing her opponent of distorting the facts for political gain. Donald trump is already making up lies about this. [ boos ] he is doing his best to confuse, mislead and discourage the american people. Ladies and gentlemen, the next and first female president of the united states, Hillary Clinton . Reporter overnight in miami, clinton tried to shimmy and shake it off at a rally with jennifer lopez. No matter what they throw at us, we dont back down. Not now, not ever. So a big party overnight mary, but one thing that people noticed is that a key clinton reporter yeah. Theyre so close, shes been called clintons shadow. Huma abedin was absent from the campaign trail yesterday. Human abedin, the center of the latest controversy. It was a computer she shared a latest controversy. It was a computer she shared with her estranged husband former congressman Anthony Wiener that led to the discovery of these emails that may be linked to clintons server. Dan and paula. Thats a big question where she is. Thank you very much, mary. And a reinvigorated donald trump is tanking clinton over the email scandal, calling her actions willful, deliberate and criminal, and maintaining his assessment that this is bigger than watergate. Watergate. Trump is holding a rally where we find david wright. Good morning to you. Reporter three guesses what theme hell be hitting hardest at that rally, whether he intended to or not, the fbi director has thrown trump a lifeline and trump has seized it. This is the biggest political scandal since watergate and its justice at last will be beautifully delivered. Reporter this surprise encore of Hillary Clintons email scandal came not a moment too soon. Hillary has nobody but herself to blame for her mounting legal difficulties. Reporter this time, the scandal includes the sexting investigation into disgraced former congressman, Anthony Weiner. H with the clintons . Reporter trump sure hasnt. Now theres new vigor to his claims of clinton cronyism and back room deals. The department of justice is fighting with the fbi. Thats because the department of justice is trying their hardest to protect the criminal activity of Hillary Clinton. [ boos ] reporter suddenly fbi director comey is no longer part he also gets to say i told you so about wiener. We dont want perverts elected in new york city. No perverts. Reporter wanting to pass tweets, calling him a sicko, and a calamity. Its called instinct folks. I had no idea i was going to be that accurate. Boy, that was right on the nose. Reporter the Anthony Weiner component has brought this race right into the gut er. Lock her up have a new intensity. Dan and paula, remember when the president ial contest was about the 3 00 a. M. Phone call at the white house . Now its about 3 00 a. M. Messages of a very different sort. Yeah. I think uyou could argue this race has been in the gutter for a while. David, thank you very much for your reporting from vegas this morning. As promised, abc news george stephanopoulos. He will be hosting this week later this morning. Good morning, sir. If you combine this news out of the fbi with the dramatically tightened abc news tracking poll, are we now looking at a was written off by some people could come back and win this election . Cant rule it out. Theres no question about it. On thursday night before this news broke, Hillary Clinton was on offense. She was on track to victory. Probably more than 300 electoral votes, but everything stopped dead in its tracks when this news came out on friday. Our latest polls show that about 30 of the people say this makes them less likely to vote for Hillary Clinton. Most of those were for donald trump anyway. But the question is will this energize his supporters even more . Depr we dont know the full answer to that yet. We need to learn a lot more ab about what exactly comey is looking at, whether her partisans come back and say, wait a second. This doesnt seem fair, but it makes it possible no question about it. D members of congress feel rs there are concerns this could unfairly influence the election and they are pushing comey to be more transparent and release some of this information. Going through james comeys mind right now. You remember back in july. He broke tradition in july when he gave the press conference. Rather hand closing the investigation, he said he was doing it because there was se. Se Public Interest in this you would think that same standard would drive him to release more details, and of course, you now have that request from members of congress and a few senators right now to have them out by tomorrow. But he has shown over the weekend, it appears he defied his colleagues at the justice departnt believed she should not come out with that report, and he did it anyway. Only he knows what he is going to do. Doesnt have a case . Hes getting pounded for releasing this letter close to the election. If we had found out after the election he learned about these emails and didnt say anything, until after the election, he would be pounded for that. No question. He was in a tough spot because in part, he had come out publicly in the past. What we need to get an answer to, did he know what was in the emails when he wrote the letter . I think hes saying he doesnt know. It. But might have had no idea at all. So thats whats creating the criticism for him as well. But no question about it. He was in a very, very tough spot. Probably going to get criticized no matter what he did. Well see what he does in the coming days. Its almost certain to affect the election in some way. Thank you very much. A reminder george has a big show coming up, going oneonone with the democratic Vice President ial no, ma nominee. Thats tim kaine. And stay with us, for complete coverage on election day led by george and thats just nine days away. Next tuesday. Thanks dan.
