If Hillary is innocent of any wrong doing the simplest way to put the email issue to rest is to give up her emails; release them to the public, no holds barred.
I think that would happen only in one's dreams since Hillary has fought anyone and everyone who wanted a peek tooth and nail to this very day.
Why such a fuss if she has nothing to hide?
There's a simple answer to that question and most logical thinking eople know it.
FBI obtains search warrant to search newly discovered emails potentially relevant to Clinton investigation - The Washington Post
The FBI has obtained a warrant to search the emails found on a computer used by former Congressman Anthony Weiner that may contain evidence relevant to the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private email server, according to law enforcement officials.
One official said the total number of emails recovered in the Weiner investigation is close to 650,000 — though that reflects many emails that are not in any way relevant to the Clinton investigation. Officials familiar with the case said, though, the messages include a significant amount of correspondence associated with Clinton and her top aide Huma Abedin, Weiner’s estranged wife.
The agents investigating Clinton’s use of a private email server knew early this month that messages recovered in a separate probe might be germane to their case, but they waited weeks before briefing the FBI director, according to people familiar with the case.
FBI Director James B. Comey has written that he was informed of the development Thursday, and he sent a letter to legislators the next day letting them know that he thought the team should take “appropriate investigative steps designed to allow investigators to review these emails.”
That missive ignited a political firestorm less than two weeks before the election. Almost instantly, Comey came under intense criticism for his timing and for bucking the Justice Department’s guidance not to tell Congress about the development. And his announcement means that Clinton could have to contend with the news that the FBI has resumed its investigation of her use of a private email server — without any real clarity on if its investigators will actually find anything significant — up to and beyond Election Day.
HEY HILLARY! WHY A WARRANT IF NOTHING TO HIDE?

HILLARY SAYING COMEY IS A RUSSIAN AGENT?
Hillary likes to claim that anyone exposing corruption in politics is
not only disrupting her campaign but a threat to our democracy and that
is usually followed with some outrageous claim that the Russians are
behind it.
What she is really saying is that exposing
corruption in Establishment politics is a threat to the "Plutocracy"
which she happens to be the darling of.
When FBI
Director Comey announced that he was taking another look at Hillary's
emails it was tantamount to turning on the lights in a room full of
cockroaches. And, as is usually the case, not all of them are able to
disappear in the cracks.
First it was DWS, then
Podesta, now Uma and her perverted husband that have the light shinning
on them and in turn on Hillary's crony riddled campaign.
Only
this time it's not the Russians who Hillary loves to blame but our own
FBI and it's what looks like not so corrupt Director.
The heads of all those who are subservient to the Establishment are exploding. God forbid the Director is doing his job!
FBI Head Under Fire For Clinton Email Scrutiny Days Before Election
FBI
Director James Comey is facing criticism for turning the agency's
attention to newly discovered emails that could be linked to Hillary
Clinton, again focusing on the former secretary of state just days
before Election Day.
Former prosecutors and former Department of
Justice officials are questioning what Comey hopes to accomplish by
announcing the investigation so close to the election.
Comey notified members of Congress that the FBI was again looking into Clinton's use of a private email server. As NPR reported
Friday, Comey's decision followed the discovery of emails that "came to
light in the course of an unrelated criminal investigation of Anthony
Weiner," who is being scrutinized for sexting an underage girl. But, as
the the Associated Press reported,
it's "unclear what the emails contained, who sent them, or what
connection they might have to the yearlong investigation the FBI closed
in July without recommending criminal charges."

much to the chagrin of the Establishment.
James Comey Broke with Loretta Lynch and Justice Department Tradition - The New Yorker
On Friday, James Comey,the
director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, acting independently
of Attorney General Loretta Lynch, sent a letter to Congress saying that
the F.B.I. had discovered e-mails that were potentially relevant to the
investigation of Hillary Clinton’s
private server. Coming less than two weeks before the Presidential
election, Comey’s decision to make public new evidence that may raise
additional legal questions about Clinton was contrary to the views of
the Attorney General, according to a well-informed Administration
official. Lynch expressed her preference that Comey follow the
department’s longstanding practice of not commenting on ongoing
investigations, and not taking any action that could influence the outcome of an election, but he said that he felt compelled to do otherwise.
Comey’s
decision is a striking break with the policies of the Department of
Justice, according to current and former federal legal officials.
Comey,who is a Republican appointee of President Obama, has a reputation
for integrity and independence, but his latest action is stirring an
extraordinary level of concern among legal authorities, who see it as
potentially affecting the outcome of the Presidential and congressional
elections.
“You don’t do this,” one former senior Justice
Department official exclaimed. “It’s aberrational. It violates decades
of practice.” The reason, according to the former official, who asked
not to be identified because of ongoing cases involving the department,
“is because it impugns the integrity and reputation of the candidate,
even though there’s no finding by a court, or in this instance even an
indictment.”

IS COMEY HILLARY'S KEN STARR?
IS HUMA HILLARY'S JOHN DEAN?
Is this history repeating itself?
Will someone in Hillary's inner circle betray her and come clean about Hillary's dark empire?
Who
better than Huma "Weiner" Abedin who many look upon as a victim of
treacherous villains like her sexual predator spouse and one of the most
mistrusted presidential candidates in history?
A Scandal Too Far? Huma Abedin, Hillary Clinton, and a Test of Loyalty
In the summer of 2013, Hillary Clinton
had just left the State Department and returned to New York. She
planned a quiet year, basking in sky-high approval ratings and enjoying a
respite from the media spotlight as she laid the groundwork for a
second presidential run.
Then Carlos Danger happened.
Anthony D. Weiner,
the husband of Mrs. Clinton’s closest aide, Huma Abedin, was running
for mayor of New York when news broke that he had continued to exchange
lewd messages with women online after the practice cost him his
congressional seat. This time, he used the embarrassing Spanish-inspired
moniker.
The tawdry story line and Ms. Abedin’s closeness to
Mrs. Clinton made the events explode far beyond New York, dragging Mrs.
Clinton’s name into messy headlines about penis pictures, Mr. Weiner’s
descriptions of his sexual appetites and his online paramour named
Sydney Leathers.
Now, with Mrs. Clinton seemingly on the cusp of
winning the White House, Mr. Weiner, who once described himself as “a
perpetually horny middle-aged man,” has pulled her into another drama.
Federal investigators looking into his sexual messaging with an underage
girl stumbled upon thousands of emails potentially pertinent to the F.B.I. inquiry into Mrs. Clinton’s private email server.

Who better to be able to show the American public the emails than the person who wrote or received them?
Why waste millions in taxpayers money to pry them from the death grip Hillary and her allies have on keeping them hidden?
And then, to add insult to injury, blame others like the FBI for withholding them from the public.
A slick maneuver to be sure but one most "thinking" people can see right through.
The
emails are being withheld from the American public because Hillary and
an army of lawyers fight tooth and nail to block any and all attempts to
have them released.
All Hillary (and Huma) have to do

the right thing. Be transparent. After all she claims she has nothing to

So, show us the emails Hillary!

ORAL SEX IN THE OVAL OFFICE OR TALKING DIRTY IN LOCKER ROOM?
Just in case voters forgot or were not of voting age back then it was not too long ago that we had the Clinton's in the White House and there was a lot more going on than talking dirty in a locker room.
As the following narrative from the Special Prosecutors report vividly conveys; unlike Trump, Bill Clinton was more of a man of action than words. A sexual predator of sorts.
So let's be honest folks. If Hillary; after all of the humiliation and emotional abuse she endured, and all the Clinton fans who are willing to let her and Bill return to the White House, can forgive and forget, then they surely should be able to extend the same courtesy to Donald Trump who never even got to first base.
Ms. Lewinsky testified that Wednesday, November 15, 1995 -- the second day of the government shutdown -- marked the beginning of her sexual relationship with the President.(146) On that date, she entered the White House at 1:30 p.m., left sometime thereafter (White House records do not show the time), reentered at 5:07 p.m., and departed at 12:18 a.m. on November 16.(147) The President was in the Oval Office or the Chief of Staff's office (where Ms. Lewinsky worked during the furlough) for almost the identical period that Ms. Lewinsky was in the White House that evening, from 5:01 p.m. on November 15 to 12:35 a.m. on November 16.(148)
According to Ms. Lewinsky, she and the President kissed. She unbuttoned her jacket; either she unhooked her bra or he lifted her bra up; and he touched her breasts with his hands and mouth.(160)Ms. Lewinsky testified: "I believe he took a phone call . . . and so we moved from the hallway into the back office . . . . [H]e put his hand down my pants and stimulated me manually in the genital area."(161)While the President continued talking on the phone (Ms. Lewinsky understood that the caller was a Member of Congress or a Senator), she performed oral sex on him.(162) He finished his call, and, a moment later, told Ms. Lewinsky to stop. In her recollection: "I told him that I wanted . . . to complete that. And he said . . . that he needed to wait until he trusted me more. And then I think he made a joke . . . that he hadn't had that in a long time."(163)
Both before and after their sexual contact during that encounter, Ms. Lewinsky and the President talked.(164) At one point during the conversation, the President tugged on the pink intern pass hanging from her neck and said that it might be a problem. Ms. Lewinsky thought that he was talking about access -- interns were not supposed to be in the West Wing without an escort -- and, in addition, that he might have discerned some "impropriety" in a sexual relationship with a White House intern.(165)
White House records corroborate details of Ms. Lewinsky's account. She testified that her November 15 encounters with the President occurred at about 8 p.m. and 10 p.m., and that in each case the two of them went from the Chief of Staff's office to the Oval Office area.(166) Records show that the President visited the Chief of Staff's office for one minute at 8:12 p.m. and for two minutes at 9:23 p.m., in each case returning to the Oval Office.(167) She recalled that the President took a telephone call during their sexual encounter, and she believed that the caller was a Member of Congress or a Senator.(168)White House records show that after returning to the Oval Office from the Chief of Staff's office, the President talked to two Members of Congress: Rep. Jim Chapman from 9:25 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., and Rep. John Tanner from 9:31 p.m. to 9:35 p.m.(169)
D. November 17 Sexual Encounter
According to Ms. Lewinsky, she and the President had a second sexual encounter two days later (still during the government furlough), on Friday, November 17. She was at the White House until 8:56 p.m., then returned from 9:38 to 10:39 p.m.(170) At 9:45 p.m., a few minutes after Ms. Lewinsky's reentry, the President went from the Oval Office to the Chief of Staff's office (where Ms. Lewinsky worked during the furlough) for one minute, then returned to the Oval Office for 30 minutes. From there, he went back to the Chief of Staff's office until 10:34 p.m. (approximately when Ms. Lewinsky left the White House), then went by the Oval Office and the Ground Floor before retiring to the Residence at 10:40 p.m.(171)
Ms. Lewinsky testified:
We were again working late because it was during the furlough and Jennifer Palmieri . . . had ordered pizza along with Ms. Currie and Ms. Hernreich. And when the pizza came, I went down to let them know that the pizza was there and it was at that point when I walked into Ms. Currie's office that the President was standing there with some other people discussing something.
And they all came back to the office and Mr. -- I think it was Mr. Toiv, somebody accidentally knocked pizza on my jacket, so I went to go use the restroom to wash it off and as I was coming out of the restroom, the President was standing in Ms. Currie's doorway and said, "You can come out this way."(172)
Ms. Lewinsky and the President went into the area of the private study, according to Ms. Lewinsky. There, either in the hallway or the bathroom, she and the President kissed. After a few minutes, in Ms. Lewinsky's recollection, she told him that she needed to get back to her desk. The President suggested that she bring him some slices of pizza.(173)
A few minutes later, she returned to the Oval Office area with pizza and told Ms. Currie that the President had requested it. Ms. Lewinsky testified: "[Ms. Currie] opened the door and said, 'Sir, the girl's here with the pizza.' He told me to come in. Ms. Currie went back into her office and then we went into the back study area again."(174) Several witnesses confirm that when Ms. Lewinsky delivered pizza to the President that night, the two of them were briefly alone.(175)
Ms. Lewinsky testified that she and the President had a sexual encounter during this visit.(176) They kissed, and the President touched Ms. Lewinsky's bare breasts with his hands and mouth.(177)At some point, Ms. Currie approached the door leading to the hallway, which was ajar, and said that the President had a telephone call.(178) Ms. Lewinsky recalled that the caller was a Member of Congress with a nickname.(179) While the President was on the telephone, according to Ms. Lewinsky, "he unzipped his pants and exposed himself," and she performed oral sex.(180) Again, he stopped her before he ejaculated.(181)
During this visit, according to Ms. Lewinsky, the President told her that he liked her smile and her energy. He also said: "I'm usually around on weekends, no one else is around, and you can come and see me."(182)
Records corroborate Ms. Lewinsky's recollection that the President took a call from a Member of Congress with a nickname. While Ms. Lewinsky was at the White House that evening (9:38 to 10:39 p.m.), the President had one telephone conversation with a Member of Congress: From 9:53 to 10:14 p.m., he spoke with Rep. H.L. "Sonny" Callahan.(183)
In his Jones deposition on January 17, 1998, President Clinton -- who said he was unable to recall most of his encounters with Ms. Lewinsky -- did remember her "back there with a pizza" during the government shutdown. He said, however, that he did not believe that the two of them were alone.(184) Testifying before the grand jury on August 17, 1998, the President said that his first "real conversation" with Ms. Lewinsky occurred during the November 1995 furlough. He testified: "One night she brought me some pizza. We had some remarks."(185)
E. December 31 Sexual Encounter
According to Ms. Lewinsky, she and the President had their third sexual encounter on New Year's Eve. Ms. Lewinsky -- by then a member of the staff of the Office of Legislative Affairs
-- was at the White House on Sunday, December 31, 1995, until 1:16 p.m.; her time of arrival is not shown.(186) The President was in the Oval Office area from 12:11 p.m. until about the time that Ms. Lewinsky left, 1:15 p.m., when he went to the Residence.(187)
Sometime between noon and 1 p.m., in Ms. Lewinsky's recollection, she was in the pantry area of the President's private dining room talking with a White House steward, Bayani Nelvis. She told Mr. Nelvis that she had recently smoked her first cigar, and he offered to give her one of the President's cigars. Just then, the President came down the hallway from the Oval Office and saw Ms. Lewinsky. The President dispatched Mr. Nelvis to deliver something to Mr. Panetta.(188)
According to Ms. Lewinsky, she told the President that Mr. Nelvis had promised her a cigar, and the President gave her one.(189) She told him her name -- she had the impression that he had forgotten it in the six weeks since their furlough encounters because, when passing her in the hallway, he had called her "Kiddo."(190) The President replied that he knew her name; in fact, he added, having lost the phone number she had given him, he had tried to find her in the phonebook.(191)
According to Ms. Lewinsky, they moved to the study. "And then . . . we were kissing and he lifted my sweater and exposed my breasts and was fondling them with his hands and with his mouth."(192) She performed oral sex.(193) Once again, he stopped her before he ejaculated because, Ms. Lewinsky testified, "he didn't know me well enough or he didn't trust me yet."(194)
According to Ms. Lewinsky, a Secret Service officer named Sandy was on duty in the West Wing that day.(195) Records show that Sandra Verna was on duty outside the Oval Office from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m.(196)
As the following narrative from the Special Prosecutors report vividly conveys; unlike Trump, Bill Clinton was more of a man of action than words. A sexual predator of sorts.
So let's be honest folks. If Hillary; after all of the humiliation and emotional abuse she endured, and all the Clinton fans who are willing to let her and Bill return to the White House, can forgive and forget, then they surely should be able to extend the same courtesy to Donald Trump who never even got to first base.

He testified: "One night she brought me some pizza. We had some remarks."(185)
E. December 31 Sexual Encounter
According to Ms. Lewinsky, she and the President had their third sexual encounter on New Year's Eve. Ms. Lewinsky -- by then a member of the staff of the Office of Legislative Affairs
-- was at the White House on Sunday, December 31, 1995, until 1:16 p.m.; her time of arrival is not shown.(186) The President was in the Oval Office area from 12:11 p.m. until about the time that Ms. Lewinsky left, 1:15 p.m., when he went to the Residence.(187)
Sometime between noon and 1 p.m., in Ms. Lewinsky's recollection, she was in the pantry area of the President's private dining room talking with a White House steward, Bayani Nelvis. She told Mr. Nelvis that she had recently smoked her first cigar, and he offered to give her one of the President's cigars. Just then, the President came down the hallway from the Oval Office and saw Ms. Lewinsky. The President dispatched Mr. Nelvis to deliver something to Mr. Panetta.(188)
According to Ms. Lewinsky, she told the President that Mr. Nelvis had promised her a cigar, and the President gave her one.(189) She told him her name -- she had the impression that he had forgotten it in the six weeks since their furlough encounters because, when passing her in the hallway, he had called her "Kiddo."(190) The President replied that he knew her name; in fact, he added, having lost the phone number she had given him, he had tried to find her in the phonebook.(191)
According to Ms. Lewinsky, they moved to the study. "And then . . . we were kissing and he lifted my sweater and exposed my breasts and was fondling them with his hands and with his mouth."(192) She performed oral sex.(193) Once again, he stopped her before he ejaculated because, Ms. Lewinsky testified, "he didn't know me well enough or he didn't trust me yet."(194)
According to Ms. Lewinsky, a Secret Service officer named Sandy was on duty in the West Wing that day.(195) Records show that Sandra Verna was on duty outside the Oval Office from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m.(196)
