The FBI spent about a year investigating Clinton’s use of the unauthorized server at her home in Chappaqua, N.Y., while she was USA secretary of state after classified government secrets were found in some of her emails.

Rewind to 2008 and the now Democratic nominee was locked in a bitter Primary battle with Michelle Obama’s husband. That’s a lot of history. Fresh revelations about her use of email are unlikely to assuage those concerns, and questions around the FBI investigation will now likely dog her in the coming days as she campaigns across battleground states.

He added of the GOP, “They didn’t work with me when I took office, even when we were in the middle of an unprecedented crisis”. She spoke of the huge crowd at the rally we’d just attended.

As we waited in the endlessly snaking line, a 47-year-old physical therapist named Keith, accompanied by his wife, told me that he had no doubt that Trump would win the majority of votes. That’s the strategy — to make this election so dirty and ugly that we don’t want any part of it. “So when you hear folks talking about a global conspiracy and saying that this election is rigged, understand that they are trying to get you to stay home”.
