Redacted files from a is ayearold investigation of one of president bill clintons most controversial pardons. The fbi went on twitter tweeting out the twitter of the man pardoned on blibts last day in offense. The Clinton Campaign spokesman called the release odd. Asking will fbi be posting docs on trumps housing discrimination in the 1970s . In the meantime Hillary Clinton trying to change the subject and trying to focus on trump and his abuse of women. Clinton attacking trump for his comments about machado and others. He calls women ugly, disgusting, nasty all the time. He calls women pigs. Rates bodies on a scale from 110. We just heard from alicia. She was Miss Universe. Why does he do these things . Who acts like this . Ill tell you who. A bully. And as the busy night on the campaign trail. Duelling rallying right now. Donald trump and Hillary Clinton both going to be speaking live on those podiums. Reince priebus at one in wisconsin right now. Donald trump will be taking the podium there. And Hillary Clinton in florida. Well go to both in a moment but the polls right now are neck and neck in crucial states. We want to turbine with our chief National Security correspondent jim sciutto in washington. Today the Campaign Going on offense trying to slam the fbi and in particular jim comey. Fridays announcement of these emails, probably related to the clinton email investigation and now this oddly timed says the Clinton Campaign announcement or release of foia documents back 15 years to the bill Clinton Presidency and at the same time saying why not similar disclosure for fbi investigations of trump team ties to russia. Just days after disagreeing to go public with new clinton related emails fbi director comey and attorney general lornt lynch met behind closed doors on monday. The first time they have been face to face. And dont expect anything from comey until the investigation is complete. A review of thousands of emails for classified information or other evidence of wrongdoing. An investigation that likely wont be finished until after election day. Clintons advisors continue to level fire at the fbi. Campaign manager mook telling comeys letter to congress represents a blatant double standard. Shocking that every time asks questions about investigations for donald trump, they are tight lipped and sticking with protocol. When it comes to Hillary Clinton, they dont. The Clinton Campaign is also calling foul after the fbi released documents tuesday related to the 2001 investigation. Hillary clintons spokesman took to twitter saying absent a foia litigation deadline, this is odd. Will fbi be posting docs on trumps housing discrimination in the 70s . Calling to release any information on donald trump and alleged ties to russia. Were asking him to make this right and treat everybody the same. Reporter the fbi has been conducting multiple investigations. The probes include a yearlong investigation of Paul Manefort, former Trump Campaign manager and his firm and alleged ties to pro putin figures in ukraine. And the fbi also looked into the meetings between others. And it continues to examine allegations against roger stone, a trump supporter about possibly connections to wikileaks. Stone acknowledged communicating with wikileaks but denied any illegal behavior. I have a back Channel Communications with wikileaks but they certainly dont clear or tell me in advance what they are going to do. Cnn pressed the fbi multiple times today to explain why this foia release relating to mark rich today just a few days to the election day and a short time ago we did get a statement saying that by law foia materials that have been requested three or murphy times are posted electrically to the fbis public reading room it. Goes on that these are automatically. Impli implying it just popped up. There is no command decision to put this out there now. Part of the regular process. That is the explanation. And a crucial part of the conversation now. I want to go both rallies right now. Jeff zeleny is in this fralawed dale florida. Ort lauderdale florida. Reporter shes trying to revisit Donald Trumps past. And at her side in florida was the former Miss Universe alicia machado. She had very strong words for donald trump. Lets listen. Im standing here on behalf of women and latinos across the country. Americans who have been horrified with his dangerous ideas and vision of america. And together who are going say loudly and clearly no trump. Hes not getting away with it. He doesnt see us as full human beings with our own dreams, our own purposes, our own capables and hes shown that clearly throughout this campaign. Well, he is very wrong. He has shown us who he is. Let us on tuesday show him who we are. Erin, this is all about character. Hillary clinton trying to make the argument that hes not fit for office and hes not temperamentally fit and doesnt have the character. She tonight at a rally is going to go after his taxes as well. Erin, so different from her posture a week ago when she was trying to close this a campaign on a high positive note. Now the Clinton Campaign is fortifying their effort in blue states across the country on the air once again in colorado, wisconsin, michigan, virginia. The states they thought they had in their bag. Im told it is a safety measure, as they are slightly uncertain here and not as confident as they were a week ago. Now one week out before election day. And you mentioned wisconsin. Well that is where donald trump is right now. In wisconsin a state he wants to win. You have been talking to the campaign. What is trump going to be speaking about there . . Reporter and just to piggy back off what jeff was saying a few moments ago, as the Trump Campaign sees a tightening race they believe these individual battleground states are going to become a lot closer and even those traditionally blue states that have been voting democratic for decades now, including here in wisconsin. But yes a Top Campaign Official said a few moments ago that donald trump when he gets out here in o claire wisconsin will be talking about the clinton saga. And wikileaks. And hes also going to go after obamacare. And something talking about earlier in pennsylvania. And its been striking all day erin, there is a candidate who can veer off course. Veer off message at any moment. But yet in the last 24 to 48 hours, ever since the clinton email story broke last friday hes been much more on message. Definitely much more on message today when he was going after obamacare. And one other final thing to point out erin, and that is he has almost a united wisconsin front at this event here in wisconsin. The governor of the state scott walker is on stage. Reince priebus also was on stage here. Ron johnson running for reelection in the senate is em brags donald trump. Even echoing the catch phrase drain the swamp. One person not here, house speak speak speaker paul ryan. Very significant, you have scott walker there. The surrogate support that donald trump has wanted. Thank you jim. Outfront now our panel. Corey, robbie mook, the fbi sticking to protocol when it comes to donald trump, refusing to comment but not so with Hillary Clinton, coming out with this letter and dumping these documents via twitter today related to the mark rich part. I said this very clearly on july 95 when director comey came out and had a press conference saying were going clear hillary. I think he should have gathered the evidence and given to it a prosecutor to determine if they were going to move forward. He chose not do that. We didnt hear any complaints or any chaos from the clinton side. They said hes a great, reputable individual and sunday tim kaine saying the exact same thing. And what were not talking about to be clear the package. He was the campaign chairman. Two separate roles and all of a sudden today we find hes under fbi investigation. I find it very interesting that all of a sudden the clintons arent talk about that. To many that would be a distinction without a difference. For you it was personal and robbie mook. Two very different roles. Paul was a position he was not being paid for. Honorary. Hes working for the chai campaign. If he was doing something with the russians inappropriately. Like John Podestas emails. Two different things. I what is the point . John podestas emails have been a subject that trumps people have been attacking him about for the past two weeks. But the idea you cant attack Paul Manefort because hes not associated with the campaign. Hes the carhairman of the campaign. From the Clinton Campaign the fbi is investigating Paul Manefort. Is that actually taking place and. The fbi leaked the story last night apparently to the New York Times that there was no evidence connecting the russian ties to donald trump. Where did that come from . Why is the fbi even leaking information . Of course there is a the double standard. Comey should never have had a press conference back in the summer but after that he continues to be pressured and bullied by the Republican Party and republicans in congress to release information that doesnt have to be released. It is time for him to shut up and just do his job. This is a Democrat Administration and that democrat justice department. And a republican fbi director. Patrick, when you look at this, the totality of it. Do you see a double standard . I think its very clear that comey has followed a different standard with the Clinton Campaign sort of all along. What we saw in the summer in terms of him going out publicly, giving the press conference that he the did and then going before congress, making different statements. It basically played into a really kind of, you know, volatile explosive situation. And usually you have the fbi stepping back. And i certainly defer to others but stepping back and making judicious statements and putting out information only at the end of a report when they are bringing charges when they recommend them to the justice department. And in this case now, i think you are having basically a Clinton Campaign that is that is sort of waiting to see what kind of drip, drip, drip comes. This is not what they want for the last seven days. And they are really just hoping that there is going to be silence. When you hear this criticism jim, what do you say . If he hadnt come out and exonerated her the way he did in july he might not have had to come out now and say im still looking it a. The fbi has been around for a long time. They have been the investigative arm for the federal government since 1908. I think the fbi from its inception was created to be an apolitical organization. Follow the evidence. We go where the evidence takes us. This director in particular. I served under four of them. Two that were appointed by democratic president s and two by republican president s. This director has a moral compass and a level of transparency ive not seen before. I think he was dealt a difficult hand. He didnt go seeking it out. He didnt go looking for it. He followed the evidence. And when he made the decision i think it was one he felt was right to make. And the Obama Administration came out and said i still have trust in director comey. Im not going to defend it or not but i have trust. I do believe hes independent. And for Hillary Clinton to try to blame this on comey. First on powell, and then her aides and the fbi notes and as stoddard wrote. Hillary clinton owns this all. But for a legal serve they are jeopardized top secret information wed not be having this conversation now. Were having it because the irresponsibility of your candidate. Bottom line. End of story. Saying he made a mistake and there is a double standard is not the same as challenging his integrity. I dont ca i dont think anyone is saying hes not a person of integrity. But when you are willing to release information about Hillary Clinton but not willing to release information about donald trump a few weeks before the isnt that calling its a double standard. I dont know what the motivations were but he should have known there would be perceived as the double standard and the idea he had to go down this route in the first place by releasing let me ask you james about this other information about the mark rich thing. You heard the fbi statement that jim sciutto just had. That that say well it automatically happened. There had been multiple requests you should the freedom of information act. So it was available. So it automatically dumped. The timing does seem stranger. The most controversial pardon of bill clinton. And dogged him ever sense and magically hit twitter today. I understand that. You have to understand how freedom of information cases are handled. This is a kparmt for that at fbi. The separate department. The folks who do that they come in first serve you know, when they reach the freedom of information act folks. They work it. Sometimes a ton of redactions that can be made. You have to go through and make sure nothing sensitive that should not be released. Sometimes there are reams and reams and reams of documents. It takes a ton of time. So you do not see any sort of collusion conspiracy i do not. The folks working on that releasing those. As they come in i have to chime in here. Go ahead. This is from an account that was not used since october 2015 before sunday. On sunday they released the ig report about Hillary Clintons emails. On sunday they released surveillance requests about the baltimore protests having to do with freddie agregray. The only thing on the trump side was an ininvestigation about donald trump and his father donating to City Council Members at the time. Hasnt been used since october and it just so happens that the friday of director comey makes this sends this letter out to republican chairman on the house and senate side. All of a sudden this account needs to be used questioning the integrity of the federal bureau of investigation is not going to win you single voter election is rigged is an okay thing to do. You are the kings and queens of the experience theories. I think the notion that the entire federal bureau of investigation is on a witch hunt to go after Hillary Clinton is absurd. Were now questioning the integrity of not just the director but the people on the freedom of Information Act Division who releases information and anybody whos ever worked there in a period of time when these requests should not be questions any way shape or form. This is america. Every department is subject to criticism in questioning. Including the [chatter]. I think this is playi right now to mr. Trump and his interests. The degree to which there are the Conspiracy Theory element, the idea that the government is doing this, pulling this string and that string, it goes to a core concern that a lot of voters have and the states hes going to and michigan and new mexico and other states that something is afoul. That powers behind the scenes are pulling strings. And there is a degree to which they can plant doubt, that the Trump Campaign can plant doubts, reinforce them or even let them sit. And you are seeing Hillary Clinton trying now do this pivot that jeff zeleny. At least with a lot of we are going to talk about what she had to say about women and donald trump coming up but next were watching the duelling trump and clinton rallies and could it all come down to New Hampshire and its four electoral votes . Plus president obama on the trail every day this a week. Can he deliver a win for clinton . A man you can bait with a tweet is not somebody you want to trust with nuclear weapons. And you see them there. Meet donald trump and Hillary Clinton. Yes that is who you are looking at. Is he voting for him . Is she voting for her . Well be back. You cant predict the market.

Donald trump in wisconsin, Hillary Clinton in florida. The Clinton Campaign has surrogates across the country tonight. Bernie sanders and president obama on that list.
