Washington post tracking polls that clinton is 1point ahead of donald trump in a fourway matchup. The fbi refuse refocused attention on emails. Weiner is the estrange husband to clinton top aide huma abidin. The fbi has found, youre not going to believe this one, this just happened, another 650,000 emails. This is the single biggest scandal since watergate. I just have no way of understanding these actions. Theyre completely unprecedented. I think the Justice Department has had a long tradition of noninterfering with election coming 11 days before the election and as i said yesterday, it was short on facts. We were very surprised by this letter and what we are asking at this point is the director comey get all of the information out on the table, all of it so that the American People can judge for themselves. Maria joining us right now former assistant director for the fbi and Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund President ron hasko. Good morning. Maria any insight you can give us in terms of how the fbi will handle this now. They have the warrant to start reviewing the emails. Tell us what takes place now, ron . Im quite confident that they have the emails that they previously recovered in the case in automated fashion so that when they pull in the current emails, they can compare essentially list a to list b and eliminate that which theyve already seen and assess and they understand what has classified information in it if it does and they put that on one stack and then you have the stack of the new, and then theyre going to have to categorize that and understand how much this relates to state department work, how much is unrelated because its weiners or someone elses and then start this process again where presumably they have potential classified information in the new stack circulated to others in the Intelligence Community who may have been responsible for classifying it originally, go through that process again which is often lengthy to let the other parties opine on whether its classified or not and then come back and come to some sort of conclusion as to whether these were properly stored and then go back and ask all the obvious questions. How did they get there, what was the mechanism . Go ahead. Maria theres a lot of debate this morning, harry reid is saying james comey may have broken the law, the dems are up in arms, even some republicans are up in arms, a third of many states have already voted so maybe he should have done his job a couple of weeks ago or a couple of months ago. Is it fair to assume that there must be Something Big in emails for him to do this at this moment in time . I think so. I think comey and his senior staff certainly had some sense and the fbi does have the tool to give them volume and content and once they discover that these there was a piece of this off of a whats been reported as a common device, that may not have been mr. Weiner. They have a sense of what that volume looks like and they could filter that into buckets. And once they have that comey felt the obligation. He has been on the hook with this with congress to tell them i have to report, tell doj, i have to report it. I feel like im compelled and im on the hook and made pronouncement. Dagen one of the questions has come up that people have asked me in the last couple of days, we know based on our reporting at fox news that these Anthony Weiner devices, laptops, smartphones were handed over to the fbi on october the third about 5 00 p. M. That the fbi executed search warrant and were handed via Anthony Weiners team, why did it take this long for comey to say this to the American People . Yeah, thats a good question, a fair question and deserves an answer. The fbi is going to go through the known legal processes to lawfully access information and here it sounds like we have devices that have multiple contributors and like the fbi, if they were to walk into a scene where they have a search warrant and theyre looking for evidence of drug tasking trafficking and they find a body, what they will do go back out and go back to a judge and make a case for conducting expanded search for Something Different than they walked in originally because they want to make sure they are on firm legal ground. It could that they were working through the process with doj prosecutors or here at doj or a combination and during the election season when you get all of those folks involved, theres going to be a timing issue thats probably going to slow you down. Cel cel ron, im glad you brought up the timing issue. It seems that one of the biggest things that could be happening in coming from all the new information as we are getting, this could play out for several years, should she get elected. It could affect her administration and dog it for a very long time. Could this be prolonged for several years and affect her . This issue is not going away any time soon particularly if the fbi has to go fully through that classification process. Does it focus on habadin or other people back into this soup and then, you know, brewing out, i believe, is Ongoing Investigation with regard to the Clinton Foundation. So i dont think any of this is going away any time soon. Ron, just very quick, tony chaffer here. It occurred well back in 2006 in october, im a bit appalled by the left saying this has never happened before. What do you make of the fact that they have selective memory, nothing ever came of it but clearly meant to impede his reelection which he did lose in that application . People as you suggest, tony, have very selective memories and here in washington, d. C. Where the rich and powerful cross pollinate, the hypocrisy and politics are rich and frankly i try to put all of this through my bs filter which takes away 99 of it because you see how quickly people who were big comey supporters have now start to accuse him of breaking the law. It is laughable and when it comes from somebody who is so biased in favor or against a candidate, you know, hopefully the voter can able to eliminate that and make a reason choice that is their own, not guided by somebody else. Maria do you think there was pressure within the fbi for him to feel like theres no where to hide here. Its pretty deeply known within the agency that there are new emails that we found, actually since the search warrant happened on october 3rd that he felt like i have to go public regardless of where we are in the cycle or in the calendar . Yeah, i think when we had this extraordinary this case is extraordinary, the timing is extraordinary. The fact that we are looking at jim comey as the villant here is ridiculous and extraordinary because it was Hillary Clinton and her team and their silence and their actions that put this in a volt during her entire time at state department and two years after only to be discovered has started a clock on the fbi. So i think when comey stepped up to the plate, when Loretta Lynch damaged in the meeting, theres doj judgment. Comey stepped into the breach. He testified for hours on capitol hill, he made his statement and i think in doing all of that comey put himself on the hook and now he feels responsible. He made a representation to congress, we are closing this and now if theyve uncovered this troab, hundreds of thousands thats being reported now, i think he feels compelled to Tell Congress something just changed and its significant. Maria ron, good to see you, thank you so much. You know, a lot of conversation about this this morning. I want to get your take real quick before we go to a break. I feel like its never too late to do the right thing and if he felt that there was something compelling, he needed to come forward. How do you see it . Dagen if comey had waited and not revealed to the American People a week after the election, two weeks after the election, that destroys not only people talk about the destruction of trust in the fbi now, what about the destruction of trust after the fact and in the entire electoral process. Maria he had to do it. Dagen people on the left are angry but people on the right feel that they had a right to know that this was going on. Maria specially since third of a electorate has voted in many states, in california a third of the people have voted. North carolina same thing. Kevin this is completely the clintons camp and camp. Huma said she gave all devices. Its a gamechanger for james comey. He had to do this. Maria we will take a short break. A lot on this topic. Back in a minute. Do i have to .

Its the place to go to stay up to date on the latest news and trend, right . Platforms like twitter and facebook were quick to ignore the biggest story of the news cycle over the weekend. Lauren simonetti on that angle. Lauren, good morning to you. Lauren good morning, back on friday fbi director james comey announced the launch of emails. Opting for taylor swift dating rumors instead. Fun. Twitter trending moment section was mute, the world series and tesla were mentioned but nothing on clinton this even despite the go hlary that had been trending friday morning. Snapchat was the only social media form to mention clinton linking to story on get this why hillary is finally having fun. This right next to a story on paris hilton. So the social media silence coming after numerous reports that google has been manipulating search suggestions in Hillary Clintons favor opt to go remove negative suggestions associated with clinton when users search her by name. We started searching Hillary Clinton f and google suggested topics, Hillary Clinton funny and Hillary Clinton fundraising. Now, clintons component republican nominee donald trump tweeted on friday, wow, twitter, google and facebook are baring fbi, criminal investigation of clinton, very dishonest media. Something he has been saying for a while. This morning social media coming around, two of most ten recent posts mention the clinton investigation. Other stories just in case you we wanted to know the world series, the singer Calvin Harris and a panda video. Maria incredible, lauren. Lauren right. Maria it really is. Do you think people understand this. Could social media websites be favoring clinton and thinking that people dont recognize what they are doing, that the biggest story of the weekend is no where . Dagen they could absolutely be trying to tamp down the discussion of this story. We saw this the article, the reporting in the wall street journal that employees at facebook wanted some of Donald Trumps speech censored because it was inflammatory and they considered it to be hate speech. Its absolutely possible, but also with the internet and social media you can find what youre looking for and certainly the main the mainstream med aliked the wall street journal. I encouraging everybody to read the article in the journal today. Intensely deeply reported story. If you want to read something useful go to that. Kevin its important to know that 70 of u. S. Adults get news from facebook and facebook is a maria good point. Kevin vast majority of people are getting it now and sharing it and what they deeply care about and we have to remember, over a billion users are on facebook, right, so even if it does get to twitter, only 300 million monthly active users on twitter, so its pretty interesting that facebook is a big dominant player and actually chairman of google came out came out in the wikileaks said that he we wanted to help the campaign back when they were looking to run. You can actually tie and connect the dots together between google and the clinton machine as well as dnc. I think its clear that theres been suppression. With anyone following my facebook, we were all over this. As much as you may be able to tap down the trending, regarding the fact that the numbers will not show the input, the input is there. People are actually paying attention to this. No matter what, if you have enough people looking at this its going to punch through. Lauren Facebook Says
