  the fbi has reopened its investigation into hillary clintons use of a private server while secretary of state after discovering new emails in a stunning turn of events just days before the presidential election 
  fbi director james comey wrote in a letter to top members of congress friday that the bureau has learned of the existence of emails that appear to be pertinent to the investigation

  comey did not detail those emails saying only that they surfaced in connection with an unrelated case 
  he told lawmakers the investigative team briefed him on the information a day earlier and i agreed that the fbi should take appropriate investigative steps designed to allow investigators to review these emails to determine whether they contain classified information as well as to assess their importance to our investigation 
  he said the fbi could not yet assess whether the new material is significant and he could not predict how long it will take to complete this additional work 
  a senior law enforcement official separately told fox news the fbi decision is not linked to wikileaks messages or any hack and the newly discovered emails did not come from the clinton server  but from another device from another government official 
  the move comes after comey and the justice department decided in july not to pursue charges over clintons email practices saying at the time that the investigation was finished 
  comey has since come under criticism from donald trump lawmakers and others who claim the investigation downplayed the mishandling of classified information during clintons tenure 
  trump speaking to cheering supporters friday afternoon in manchester nh praised the fbi for having the courage to right the horrible mistake that they made  saying he hopes that is corrected 
  hillary clintons corruption is on a scale we have never seen before trump said we must not let her take her criminal scheme into the oval office 
  in a nod to the significance of the fbis announcement trump quipped the rest of my speech is going to be so boring 
  other gop lawmakers also weighed in urging the bureau to pursue a thorough new probe 
  the fbis decision to reopen its investigation into secretary clinton reinforces what the house judiciary committee has been saying for months the more we learn about secretary clintons use of a private email server the clearer it becomes that she and her associates committed wrongdoing and jeopardized national security house judiciary committee chairman bob goodlatte rva said in a statement 
  republican national committee chairman reince priebus said the discovery must be serious for the bureau to investigate this close to the election 
  clinton did not respond to questions from reporters about the development as she landed in cedar rapids iowa and did not address the matter while speaking to supporters in the same city 
  the development comes  days before the general election and is the latest shockwave to hit the race clinton had been gaining in the polls over trump in the wake of the release of footage showing trump talking about groping women and subsequent allegations of sexual assault and harassment against him 
  however daily revelations from hacked clinton campaign emails obtained by wikileaks have become a headache for the democrats campaign the resumption of the fbi probe poses a potentially bigger problem 
  ron hosko former assistant director of the fbi told fox news in a telephone interview that retired fbi officials were livid at comey over the fact that charges were not brought against clinton in round one of the investigation 
  he lit her on fire and then walked away hosko said of comey holding a news conference laying out clintons mishandling of classified information but then not pressing criminal charges 
  hosko said he still defends comey for not pressing charges because the fbi always has to make a decision based on what they have at the time hosko said he thinks agents were probing a separate matter and found emails that made them say oh my god look at what we have
