“We have one ultimate check on Hillary’s corruption, and that is the power of the vote,” Trump told supporters Sunday at a rally in Las Vegas.
The FBI did not announce a “criminal investigation” — and most polls still give Clinton a lead — but FBI Director James Comey’s letter to congressional leaders about a review of new information has roiled the election in ways that campaigns, pollsters, and analysts are still trying to assess.
Republican consultant Bruce Haynes, founding partner of Washington-based Purple Strategies, said the FBI “bombshell” potentially “reframes the election as a referendum on Clinton and all the baggage she brings into office with her.”
Clinton and her aides, meanwhile, raised a fairness issue, stressing that Comey did not specify what his agents are looking at, and issued only a vague statement on a Friday afternoon just 11 days before an election.
