White house. as if the president-elect had unilateral authority to decide these matters. now, he can recommend to the department of justice he doesnt want a special prosecutor to look to reopen the e-mail case. but what was also reported today is that the clinton foundation will not be investigating. now, i dont know one way or another if the fbi hasser uncovered anything, any criminal wrongdoing at the clibten foundation. i know there was a lot of political rhetoric about that during the campai...

Thin margin? what they have to worry about, is the polls have been up and down all over the place. polls this late tend to be a little more accurate than polls earlier in the campaign. what will make them nervous is the silent voters turning out, and too many of her voters, hillary clintons voters saying to themselves, well, it looks like shes going to win, they dont go to the polls. turnout is one of the most overworked words in anyones presidential election coverage. turnout does matter, if hi...

The department of justice to do their absolute best to stay out of even statewide political campaigns much less national political campaigns. it will be interesting to see why he felt obligated to do this 11 days before the -- before the election but i think it is very likely that this is all were going to know about this investigation over the next 11 days and voters can decide whether it matters to them or not. >> its a mystery. gloria, a little bit of background on james comey. we talked befo...
