"we are 11 days out from perhaps the most important national election of our lifetimes. voting is already underway in our country. so the american people deserve to get the full and complete facts immediately," clinton told reporters during a brief news conference in iowa. podesta, whose hacked emails the fbi said are not the source of the evidence under review, called comey's move "extraordinary." by josh gerstein and madeline conway earlier friday, comey notified the chairs of several congressional committees that the bureau was reviewing a fresh group of messages from clinton<u+2019>s time as secretary of state, thrusting the email issue back into the national spotlight within weeks of the nov. 8 election. kaine said friday that he did not believe the email review would lead to anything significant, pointing to comey's decision not to recommend charges after the fbi completed its investigation in july. <u+201c>they wouldn<u+2019>t have reached that conclusion after an investigation that went on for multiple months unless they felt that they could say it with some certainty,<u+201d> kaine said. kaine also disputed the notion that the fbi<u+2019>s decision signaled that the case had been reopened. <u+201c>they didn<u+2019>t say it was closed,<u+201d> kaine said of comey<u+2019>s july address. <u+201c>they said no reasonable prosecutor would take this case <u+2013> it wasn<u+2019>t a close decision to even say that.<u+201d> by bill scher by thomas wright by joshua zeitz by jack shafer
