Congress the new emails and and surfaced, and appear to be pertinent to the now closed probe. A political fire storm broke out. And this evening secretary clinton weighed in. I have now seen director comeys letter to congress. We are 11 days out from perhaps the most Important National election of our lifetimes. Voting is already under way in our country.
