FBI Director James Comey told lawmakers Sunday the agency hasn't changed its opinion that Hillary Clinton should not face criminal charges after a review of new emails.
Comey had dropped a bombshell 11 days from the election when he informed Congress that the FBI had discovered emails in its separate investigation of Anthony Weiner, the estranged husband of top Clinton aide Huma Abedin, that could be connected to its investigation of whether Clinton mishandled classified information by using a private email server.
The news could help Clinton put to rest a controversy that has dogged her in the 2016 race's closing days, helping Donald Trump narrow a polling gap nationally and in key battleground states. Ref. CNN.
The FBI is saying that the laptop they found was around 10 years old and only had duplicates of existing emails that have already been investigated. This is making things a lot more political for the FBI but shouldn't dilute the fact that it happened.

Hillary Clinton won the tiny town of Dixville Notch, New Hampshire, as eight residents cast midnight ballots in an Election Day tradition.
Clinton received four votes, Donald Trump received two. There was one vote for Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson, and a write-in vote for Mitt Romney.
Two other New Hampshire communities are also casting midnight votes this morning. Ref. CNN.
Hillary Clinton called on her supporters and Americans to support President-elect Donald Trump.
Calling her loss "Painful," Clinton said the country must move forward.
"I still believe in America, and I always will. And if you do, then we must accept this result and then look to the future," Clinton said in New York. "Donald Trump is going to be our president. We owe him an open mind and the chance to lead." Ref. CNN.
The day after the election she went hiking. Poor woman, everyone that surrounded her told her she was going to win and initial vote looked like that until later when there was this massive turn around!
