Top Gold And Silver Stories from the week ended October 29, 2016.
US Attorney General Loretta Lynch “Takes the Fifth” in Response to Written Congressional Questions Relating to the Iran Deal.
Ms. Lynch who met with Bill Clinton on the Phoenix Airport Tarmac before the FBI findings of the Clinton Investigation were released, purportedly tried to stop the release of the Comey letter to Congress.
The top story of the week: FBI TO REOPEN CLINTON EMAIL CASE.
Wikileaks show Clinton campaign manager lost his phone getting out of a cab, his staff was aware that his gmail account was compromised and had a password similar to ‘pa$$w0rd’. Yet DNC, Hillary Clinton and “US intelligence agencies” blame the Russians.
The Press
The press largely ignored the Clinton Inc, Wikileaks and Project Veritas information chosing instead to tout polls showing Hillary Clinton with a 11-12 point lead over Donald Trump.

The press, Ms. Clinton and the President also ridiculed and dismissed any charges that elections can be rigged, while having insisted in the past that elections can and have been rigged.
FBI Move- Why Now?
- Diversion from damaging effect of Wikileaks, project vertias revelations (inciting violence at Trump rallies)
- Attempt to rehabilitate the FBI’s Comey’s reputation restore confidence (but only if an indictment if forthcoming, if done with no intention of pursuing the case further reputation will be further damaged)
- Get ahead of any leaks of the Weiner emails (emails that the FBI had, or should have had already that would have formed part of their investigation)
- Get ahead of any new Clinton/Podesta emails about to be released that show intent or further blatant examples of ‘extremely careless handling of classified information’. (emails that the FBI had, or should have had already)
- Have an investigation open to be able to respond to obvious questions regarding why Ms. Clinton was not questioned under oath, the Abedin devices/emails were not retreived earlier and Obama’s role in supervising not examined.
Confidence Destroying
Attempts to make Trump look unfit, are overshadowed by blatant examples of government corruption and press collusion. Who is more inept, more dangerous?
End of the Two Party System?
US political stability based in part on the two party system. Has it been destroyed? Neither party seems to have represented the will of its party members. Both parties tries to stop popular candidates. What happens to GOP/DEMS after the election if Trump wins? if Clinton wins?
