Guess it is pretty safe to say that Hillary campaign

does not have any good dirt on Trump. I think if they had something good (like tax returns or proven links to Russia..) it would be out now. I was hoping for one more good oppo drop. Please let someone drop some damaging info on that evil man. We need to get this email off the front page. Until then we need to focus on GOTV.

Lots of Dems talking about the Trump/Russia ties that, I believe, are being investigated by the FBI. Lets see what leaks out about that in the next day or two.

Friday afternoon is the best time, but its close to election. So look for something weds, and a followup friday.

I don't know of any dumps other than the rumors everyone else sees, but my guess is later rather than sooner.

They want to media to get tired of asking about emails. Then they will drop it, but not too late.

We need to get ahead of this FBI Investigation and WikiLeaks or they could cost us this election.

I really thought Obama would have come out by now and pulled the plug on this coordinated attack on Hillary but he's flat out refused to even call Comey's intentions and timing into question.

Women.

People of color, particularly African Americans and Latinos.

Asians.

College education men.

People under 30.

The truth is that Trump was never in this election. This pathetic news story won't change that.

Comey wrote the letter in a pre-emptive move to divert attacks from the right of partisanship, when he provides bombshell disclosures v. Trump this week!

Self-professed pervert. Stiffs hard working Americans. Hiding his taxes. Factual information that his charity is a scam.

Not good enough Clinton.

Two more major Trump ops to be dropped most likely Thursday or Friday for maximum impact.

and says they need to get it out there right now instead of fussing over the fbi and emails.

meanwhile rick wilson says it's out of his hands, he's not a reporter.

so either one piece is with the dems and the other's with a reporter, or they're just messing with trump supporters (and dems that will listen). it's just strange to me how many republicans are speaking out against comey, i wonder if a lot of them know what might be coming against trump because i know they all didn't suddenly grow a conscience over night.

Not to mention the obvious Trump Foundation fraud and the failure to release tax returns. Ok, another embarrassing audiotape would be nice, but what more do we need?

I know people are early voting so there's some opportunity cost, but in order to maximize effectiveness of the message for the 60% of the electorate who will vote next week, I think it would make sense to wait a bit longer. The Comey story seems to be fizzling as everything else has this election cycle within 4-5 days. You want to drive the news cycle not compete with that for headlines. That said I have no idea if said dirt is out there but I hope so.
