I was surprised that the fbi director would actually end up doing something a week it two weeks before the election. >> hillary clinton did put herself in this position. this e-mail issue has been swirling around for two years. and she never shuts it down. one argument could be made that donald trump supporters like him so much because hes black and white. he chooses a course and he goes, this is what im doing. why hasnt hillary shut this down? >> she has. what would you like her to do? i mean, ...

Gun issue. other issues and how you see this october surprise, this bomb shell from the fbi director clouding the race, if at all. >> you know, certainly gabby and i are behind secretary clinton for a number of reasons. chiefly it is her support of common sense changes to gun laws to keep communities safer from gun violence. she has a record on this issue, a good record on it. she has a plan while her opponent has neither. if it is the economy or national security or the environment or, you know...

Well know if he can capitalize if the answer is yes to whether he can stay on message. teleprompter trump, as i call him, the one who does stay on message, has been out there for the past few days. he has not been attacking fellow republicans, hasnt been attacking accusers, people who accuse him of sexual assault. he has been staying where his aides want him to stay. not just on the e-mail issue and hillary clinton and talking about comey and even today saying thank you to anthony weiner and so ...

Dig, they just want to keep on going. this issue has brought the fbi into politics in a way weve never seen before. youve had the e-mail issue, youve had the investigation of trump. youve had both parties trying to use the bureau to use criminal investigations against the other. and that has put the bureau in a very difficult spot. i dont think the agency issues are with comey. maybe some of them were upset with the e-mail decision. fbi agents tend to be a little more conservative than others, b...

To do with clintons behavior via e-mail or anything done inappropriately, but if it perhaps does unveil that huma abedin or anyone else working closely with hillary clinton did do something inappropriate, does it mean a separation between hillary clinton and huma? >> to go into this speculation about hypothetical questions based on information which may be insignificant, insignificant, meaning of no importance. comey is laying out very lively possibility that this is insignificant, this whole th...

Tight. there are a lot of concerns about what the drag is this will bring to the campaign. a lot of clinton supporters. hillary clinton made an interesting point yesterday. they believe this is baked in. if you had problems with this e-mail issue, you have been upset about it for a long time. it will be really interesting to see the numbers over the next couple of days if that actually rings true. >> tom, huma abedin, long-time aide of hillary clinton. she has been traveling with hillary clinton...
