I have to give the fbi credit, it took guts for director comey to make the move that he had and the opposition that he had trying to protect her from criminal prosecution. We can be sure that what is in those emails is absolutely devastated. Thank you huma. Good job huma and thank you Anthony Weiner. [ cheers ] there is donald trump of a different story from the white house with press secretary josh earnest weighing in on the same thing last hour. The white house is going to be scropolous. So a lot to get you caught up on our reporters. Nand our stev cornacki and halie jackson are all with us. It is great to have you all together. Halie, lets talk about the injection of new light of what we have in Donald Trumps campaign. How is he going to use this to maximum his advantage as we count down to eight days left . Hes going to try to use it and the answer to his maximum advantage by hammering clinton again and again on this campaign stop, you heard him do it in the last hour here when he was speaking in grand rapids, michigan, going after her top aid, huma abedin and her estrange husband. It was summer or fall where he was going after weiner before any of this came to light. Trump will be on offense. His team feels as if they do have a little bit of wind on their back. The campaign is tightening up even before this news, the fbi dropped on friday. Obamacare is something you will see him focus a lot on this week, i can tell you that and are going to be effective and have been effective at least in their view. You know where trumps also unfolding a new line of attack is on release of the wikileaks emails, which is obviously emails that have not been authenticated by the Clinton Campaign or nbc news. There is a new one that appears to show cnns contributor, perhaps giving a question or aleuti alluding to the question. Donald trump has hit, on a corrupt system on that. Halie, standby. I want to play more of donald trump. Anthony weiner has became trumps savior in this campaign. I made statements that were rough like how could she be allowed to live with this guy or like how could she have access to this Important Information and i was badly criticized, right . Now, theyre saying oh, trump has good judgment. So pete, that remains to be seen of how good that judgment could be seen. Explain director comey, the fbis process to evaluate whether or any of these 650,000 emails are relevant to the private server of Hillary Clinton and is it remotely possible will get an answer before election day. It all comes out from one of these. What the fbi has done in last 24 hours is begin to analyze the content of this. When they do this, they dont look at the actual laptop, they have done this when they started the weiners investigation. They make duplicate copies of the laptop, it is known as a mirror drive. Thats what the fbi is working on. They have been at it for 24 hours. You mentioned the number 650,000, thats the total number of emails on the laptop. Theyre only going to focus on those that were to and from huma abedin that were found on the laptop. Theyre going to narrow down to the time frame when Hillary Clinton was secretary of state because thats the issue here with clintons email questi question when she was secretary of state. Theyll use another program from the la laptop and collection of emails. Theyll look at new information whether classified information ended up on the clinton easts server, t the whole focus of this investigation. The mirror drive is being used to look at pertinent information and not beyond investigation into Anthony Weiner, correct . Thats right, i dont know whether they are going to use the same mirror drive that they made to look at that or theyre going to make another one or have made another one for the purposes of the email investigation. They had to get a sepate searcharrant to look at huma abedins emails because those are outside of the scope of what Anthony Weiner is doing. Joining me now with Kristen Welker, well hear from Hillary Clinton later. We know the campaign has been going hard after fbi director comey. Here is her running mate. The fbi put up this unusual letter. Very unprecedented and theyre not supposed to talk about Ongoing Investigation and theyre not generally supposed to put out political sensitive stuff right before the election. 11 days before the election, what hillary and our supporters decided that there maybe some distractions but we wont be distracted. Kristen, the painting of comey, you see obvious here from certain folks, fill us in on where huma abedin fits into all of this and the Clintons Campaign currently. Reporter well, first in terms of the strategy that you heard from tim kaine, it really under scores what we are going to see from the campaign from now until election day. Really trying to turn up the pressure on james comey and in terms of huma abedin, shes the estrange wife of Anthony Weiner whose computer of all of this. Shes been off the trail for a number of days where all of this has been folding. Shes been working out of her Brooklyn Campaign headquarter. The two are very close, secretary clinton clinre to huma abedin as her second daughter. They see her as a valuable member of the team. It makes sense to huma abedin to be back in brooklyn and deal with the issues that she is having to address there. She will be back on the campaign trail. What we are going to see today, thomas, secretary clinton here in the big battleground of ohio, shes going to try to pivot to put the attention back on donald trump and i think you are going to hear her really try to in her strongest term paint donald trump as a danger to National Security and a leader that thats and going back to some of her talking points which have been so effective throughout this campaign which has given her leads in a number of the battleground states. Here in ohio, it is a very tight race, thomas. All right, steve, lets talk about the strategy of donald trump because this is really a chance that at least what we are seeing now approached of the chip away from clintons firewall and michigan and colorado and mexico. Is that a pipe stream for folks at this point . Hes going to run the team and win all the toss upstates out there right now. The problem is even if he does that, thats a big if. Hes got to find one blue state on this map, one state that right now we look at and we say thats a clintons state. Hes got to flip it. Hes got to take all the toss up and find a blue state. You start looking around and pennsylvania, the start of this year where trump made a lot of noise there and suburbs around philadelphia and that one two punch, looks like hes not going to be able to over come that. He starts saying New Hampshire and they have been thinking that for a while. So where do you go after that, i think thats what we are seeing and this is definitely an 11th hour thing. And pick any cliches you want. Theyre not getting 270 unless they can find a blue state to flip it. Theyre making themselves available for that. Well see if it works for them, thank you very much steve. Thank you to our halie jackson and Kristen Welker and our Pete Williams. Since july, donald tmp and his surrogates have blasted the fbi director and comey not charging Hillary Clinton of any wrong doing. Today, Donald Trumps manager had this to say. It is fine with us. See i am reminded that maybe we have been asking the wrong candidate all along. All right, joining me now, surrogate for the trumps campaign. Matt, good to have you with me and we have kellyanne conway, i want you to ta i can a listen to what donald trump has said about comey and his investigation. You saw that with the emails. It is a rigged system, folks, just remember it. When the fbi interviewed her only for three hours during the 4th of july weekend, her interview was not recorded and she was amazingly not even under oath. When the fbi director says the secretary of state was extremely careless and negligence. These terms are minor compares to what she actually did. They were just used to save her from facing justice for her terrible, terrible crimes. So matt, if the campaign or the republicans thought comey is playing politics in july, how are comeys actions any different now . Whats different now is jaess comey is faced. Well learn the facts weeks and months coming forward. Hes faced with a serious problem inside the fbi with agents who believe that they should have been more aggressive in the decision that was made over the summer to not prosecute and face with new information that it would be impossible for the fbi to turn its heads to the fact that they have uncovered all these new email information. Hes in a tough spot. Hes tried to balance and juggle this. At the end of the day, he realized his reputation is caught up if he continues to turn the other way. Your station reported and other people have gone through jail from mishandling classified information. It is a serious challenge. It is a big if whether any of these emails are the radar of those that are expected from the fbi to go through materials whether it is pertinent or not podesta has been blamed over this. If the fbi were begin to investigating those cases, it will reveal connective tissue to the trump campaign. Would you encourage the fbi to enclose that or not . The problem is this, it is a problem when the fbi comes out this close in an election and made major announcement thats political. The major of this investigation is it was already happening in the political context just a few months ago. When he saw this new information, it is not just a few emails as you know Pete Williams reported, it is a heck of a lot of emails. It is over 600,000 emails. We dont know the content of those emails. That could be positive or negative or terribly emails in there or we dont know yet. He has to look at it. Hes got no choice. If he had not made an announcement, this all would have come out one way or another. It is messy. If the hu russians hacked John Podestas emails, we need to take steps to make sure it will never happen again. It is criminal and wrong. That being said, it is happening and Hillary Clinton herself is starting as responded to contents of these emails in two different debates and it is playing in these and change in the race and of the scandal and the way the clintons doing business is what well be talking about in the final week of this race. Well wait to see exactly if we get any information on the fbi and not giving information about whether they are investigating on the hacking. We have this news week reporting map that after a look through Court Documents that Donald Trumps companies have systemically destroyed or hidden thousands of emails. Did trump and his team show poor judgment in doing that . You know i dont know all the facts on those private cases. The big difference between trump and clinton is that clintons wrong doing happens while she was serving in the public office. It is hard to compare that when someone does it in private. She has not been found of any wrong doing. You are trying to say thats not true. They did not recommend charges to Loretta Lynch in a criminal capacity. Can i shes not convicted of a crime but she, herself, has said she made a big mistake in contravening the policy and not handling the classified information in that matter. She bungled that. Whether or not shes committed the crime in this process is what this investigation is all about. We also know that the foundation has been investigated and the wall street journal did a great piece on this over the weekend, the Clintons Foundation has been investigated this whole time where people is under the impression that all of these investigations are seized is not true. Thats a serious concern for this campaign. But, also the trumps Foundation Just to categori categorize but not by the fbi. I know but there is other wrong doing going on by the Clintons Foundation. I dont think anybodys answers are clean of this. The big difference between the two though is wrong doing is wrong doing, the big difference between the two is that Hillary Clintons was about our most serious information that a Government Official has to handle and a way that she implemented protocols around that information, thats what the difference is. The clintons have been in office continually since 2000s. She was senator from new york and secretary of state. We have learned that the Clintons Foundation gauge engage inside the system th that this is a fair thing for voters to know. Thats why the fbi is digging in on this. These leaks do not paint a pretty picture. But there is no implications of guilt because of an investigation. Thats saying the same thing of donald trump having to paid people off dating all the way back when the government was investigating them for discrimination charges and they took a plea. But, they took no guilt the take thing th plea. Matt, i appreciate the conversation we had here, i know well continue to talk about this, happy halloween. Same to you. Matt schlapps, thank you, sir.

There we have donald trump seizing on news of the fbi examining more emails that could be relating to Hillary Clintons personal server. Well hear from Hillary Clinton in ohio. Shes appearing in ken state and should be introduced shortl shortly. The question is, is it fair as we heard from donald trump saying numerous time. John de dean, sir, it is good to have you with me. Someone at a front row seat to the mother of all political scandals. Why are trumps comparison as you say in your piece, nonsense. Not even close. Clearly the nixons problem with water gate it was deep seeded and he tried to corrupt the entire executive branch and involved obstruction of justice and perjury and really reveal it was just a tip of an iceberg and unravelled two years plus period, we saw and insight of presidency that was rugged and pathetic and sad a. Mr. Dean, donald trump joked that Hillary Clinton was kicked off. You were there, whats the real story . I did not have a clue what he was talking about at the al smiths dinner. What is the water Gate Commission had never heard of it and then i flashed and realized that he was talking about the story of bogus claim of water gate revision that hillary was kicked off in the water gate in query by the house judiciary committee. It is not true. It never happened and i may have misspoken and somebody has run with it the wrong way but she was never fired. Good for you to clear it up for us. We know our, eric holder, criticized director james comey. I fear he has unintentionally and negativity affected the public trust in both the Justice Department and the fbi. I think there is no question, in fact, we were told during water gate why they were not investigating where that was the rule of the department of justice. The statue of limitations is long enough and we look at these things after a campaign. Comey has broken a rule thats been in place while i was at the department of justice and all these years since. I dont remember how it is going to shake out but he really has caused problems for himself and caused a deep problem for the department of justice. Sir, not just what he did on friday and getting your opinion on that but what he did in july. Does that mean the same standard to you as well . Very unusual of what he did in july and coming forward and tip cap
