Reporter cbs news has learned that fbi director james comey has been calling members of congress whove demanded that he release more information about the review of the new emails. Comey is under fire for making the disclosure eleven days before the election. How are the voters, how is the public supposed to respond to this . And theres simply no way for the public to make an informed judgment. Reporter democratic congressman adam schiff says fridays announcement broke agency protocol. Of Justice Policy against speaking about open or closed investigations. But also the doj policy about speaking about an investigation this close to an election. Reporter in a letter addressed to the fbi director sunday democratic senator harry reid accused comey of partisan actions, and alleged that he may have broken the law by violating the hatch act.

Investigators seized the laptop belonging to longtime clinton aide huma abedin and estranged husband Anthony Weiner during a separate probe into weiners alleged communication with an underage girl.

Disclose the information. Officials debated whether theyd be accused of trying to manipulate the election by hiding the renewed investigation if criminal evidence was found.

Well with so Many Americans voting right now, the clinton camp didnt have time to dwell on what they saw as an unfair move by the fbi. Instead, theyre moving aggressively to shape Public Opinion on this, calling on the fbi director to explain himself best defense is a good offense. Its pretty strange to put Something Like that out with such Little Information right before an election. Reporter clinton came down hard this weekend on comeys move. Its unprecedented, and it is deeply troubling. Reporter her campaign followed that up with a facebook video. The more information came out the more overblown this all seems. Reporter its already been puzzled and outraged as we are. Are any of you going to be distracted . Reporter tim kaine argued that outrage was actually helping the campaign. It is kind of revved up some enthusiasm, a little bit of a a little bit of righteous a little bit of righteous indignation in righteous anger has revved it up a bit.

Reporter at a church in Fort Lauderdale clinton said the bible had taught her about resilience. No matter what is thrown our way, we are not going to back reporter one thing giving the clinton camp hope right now is the fact that so Many Americans, more than 20 million, have already voted, before the fbi took this step. The campaign has been careful to use words like puzzling and confusing to describe comeys move. Relying on other democrats like harry reid, who they know will go a lot further. Thanks, nancy. Our Battleground Tracker also shows a close race in three key states within the margin of error. Po latest email news came out. Donald trump holds a twopoint lead in arizona. Hillary clinton leads by three points in colorado. And three points in North Carolina. She is also ahead in pennsylvania by eight points. Over the weekend, trump lashed out at clinton over the email discovery, Major Garrett is covering the Trump Campaign and has more information. Major, good morning. Good morning. Republicans in battleground states tell me they can feel the ground shifting and this race tightening significantly. Now these field organizers are but they say Hillary Clintons new fbi woes are rallying skeptical republicans to trump who was trying to hit these notes with everything hes got. Now the fbi has found, youre not going to believe this one, this just happened, another 650,000 emails. Reporter donald trump placed Hillary Clintons ongoing email scandal at the center of his stump speech sunday. I think thats mother lode. I think they found them all. Reporter delighting in tensions between the fbi and Justice Department officials. The department of justice is fighting the fbi. Thats because the department of justice is trying so hard to protect Hillary Clinton. Reporter prior to fridays discovery the fbi was a favorite trump boogeyman. Theyve essentially corrupted the director of the fbi. Whats happened with the fbi is so sad. Do they make a deal where everybody protects each other in washington . Maybe thats it. I really believe it. The agency is now back on trumps good side. What happened today, starting with the fbi, may be the system will become a little less rigged. Beautiful. Reporter trump is counting on voters anger with clinton to help win over skeptical republicans, and build on his enthusiasm edge. The latest cbs news poll shows the majority of Trump Supporters in North Carolina, and arizona, are more enthusiastic than in previous elections. Less than 40 of clinton supporters feel the same way. Were leading Numerous National polls, and those polls are all before the bombshell of reporter over the weekend, trump tend warning about nonexistent voter fraud, repeated his promise to bring back waterboarding, and said clintons lax immigration policy could allow 650 Million People to sneak into america in just one week. Why even newly optimistic republicans fear trumps penchant for veering off script could undercut his recent surge in momentum. Charlie . Major, thanks. Cbs news political director and ce dickerson is in washington. Good morning, charlie. What impact and what might be discovered that could make this a game changer . Well, i i am still trying to handle this first discovery. I cant imagine what might be discovered. We used to have october surprises. It was a single day in october. Now the entire month is a surprise. I think, though, the change, of course, is the conversation is all about Hillary Clinton, and a damaging thing for Hillary Clinton, and something that behave in a way that reinforces peoples skepticism or concerns about it. Which is why its really interesting whether theyll continue going after comey, which is basically all they can do. Or whether they pivot. But the question is, does it move anything, and you know, our polling, other polling shows that october surprises arent what they used to be. Because everybody sorts new information by their existing partisanship. There is a lot of partisan sorting. There arent a lot of people sloshing between the two already been cast. The activity on saturday suggested that early turnout among democrats, you might expect a little dampening after this news coming, hadnt happened. So well have to see how it plays out in the last couple of days. The real thing to watch is the republicans skeptical about trump that theyve been worried about on the republican side, does it change any of those minds. Thats what im looking for. Does mr. Comey have any other options here, john . If he had waited till after the election to reveal this he could was there another way to handle this . I dont know. We dont know exactly what he has. And thats one of the things that seems to be confusing. Youre right, though, imagine if anything had been said and then it came out after the election. It seems like this was designed in a way, though, to make everybody unhappy. No matter what the election outcome is, people are going to be able to look to the fbi, and have complaints. It is curious, this idea of if the warrant had not been issued announcement, and therefore they hadnt looked at the emails, or it seems mentioning that might have lowered some of the speculation. Of course they might have looked at the emails without a warrant. Theres no evidence of that. But i guess, its just quite confusing why there was not a something to kind of keep everybody from wildly speculating, there was a lot of speculation, and we see donald trump saying that the only reason they did this is because they found some huge bombshell in this new cache of emails. Voted in the early votes, so some question about how much this may influence the final outcome. What have we learned from the early vote numbers . Well, we find that, you know, it depends on the different states how its working. There is its up in North Carolina, for example, democrats are up, but theyre down from where they were in 12. So, we know there is a lot of early voting going on. It will change in its composition. So, we we dont reallyav although the democrats say that they are theyre up in the early voting compared to republicans. But down from 12 and they lost in 12. Right. Down but you have the composition of the electorate is different and the early voting rules in North Carolina and florida are a little different so comparisons to 12 you have to be careful about them. Okay, thanks, john. In our next hour, Donald Trumps Campaign Manager Kellyanne Conway will be right here in studio 57. Well get her candidates latest reaction to the fbi letter. The manhunt for an oklahoma suspect wanted in the deadly crime spree came to a dramatic end. Michael vance jr. Was killed last night in a shootout with Law Enforcement officers.
