===Comey "reopens" investigation===
*The small group (or "tight group" as Comey calls it) has had the Weiner laptop emails for 29 days and has reviewed none. They are debating if [[probable cause]] exists to re-open the investigation.

*Fearful of leaks if he didn't act, Comey notifies Congress of the re-opening the Clinton email investigation.
*'''28 October.''' Conference call between Main Justice and FBI investigators about Hillary email cover-up. SDNY and New York FBI field office asking why has Washington (McCabe) sat on the Clinton emails for three weeks with no action? All focus within the DOJ and FBI is on news reporting and narrative spin, and no one looking at Clinton emails.
*Internal discussions claim no probable cause against Hillary in July, none now, and debate on recusal of Andrew McCabe in the Clinton non-investigation.
*Comey forced to go public and create the appearance of re-opening the Clinton email investigation after New York Police Department (NYPD) plans to hold press conference about the evidence seized on [[Anthony Weiner]]'s laptop computer. 650,000 classified State Department emails and other damning evidence found.

*Comey's public statement about re-opening Hillary's email case throws the Clinton campaign and poll numbers into a tailspin.<ref>https://www.cbsnews.com/news/hillary-clinton-says-she-would-have-won-the-election-if-it-were-held-oct-27/</ref> The "insurance policy" becomes operational: allegations of collusion between Trump and Russia.
