The FBI will reopen its investigation into Hillary Clinton's private email
server after learning of "the existence of emails that appear to be
pertinent to the investigation," Utah congressman Jason Chaffetz said on
Friday.

In a letter to the chairmen of congressional committees, FBI director
James Comey wrote that the investigative team in charge of looking into
Clinton's server briefed him on Thursday on new emails they found "in
connection with an unrelated case" that "appear to be pertinent to the
investigation."

"The FBI cannot assess whether or not this material may be significant,"
Comey wrote, and "I cannot predict how long it will take us to complete
this additional work."

BIG: The FBI is reopening its investigation into @HillaryClinton's email

Donald Trump responded to the news on Friday, saying that "Hillary
Clinton's corruption is not on a scale we have ever seen...the FBI and the
Justice Department now have the chance to right the horrible mistake that
they made" in not moving forward with criminal charges against Clinton.

House Speaker Paul Ryan released a statement renewing his call for the
Director of National Intelligence to suspend classified intelligence
briefings for Clinton, who "was entrusted with some of our nation's most
important secrets, and betrayed that trust by carelessly mishandling
highly classified information."

Many have taken to Twitter to condemn the FBI's handling of the
announcement that they will reopen the investigation.

"It's bad enough having the media do the 'raises questions,' substance-
free innuendo thing. Worse when the FBI director does it. Disgraceful,"
economist Paul Krugman tweeted on Friday. "Comey needs to provide full
info immediately. Otherwise he has clearly made a partisan intervention,
betraying his office."

"I have zero faith that anyone will handle this responsibly," former Obama
speechwriter Jon Favreau wrote. "It's insane. He [Comey] at least owes the
country a press briefing — anything more than a vague letter."

"Director Comey should give a more complete explanation. Is this reviewing
newly found emails? Is this reopening? Too much at stake," wrote John
Weaver, Ohio governor John Kasich's former campaign strategist.

Clinton's email scandal has dogged the Democratic presidential candidate
for more than a year. In March 2015, she first admitted to exclusively
using a private email account to send and receive work-related emails
while she served as secretary of state. The controversy compelled her to
hand over roughly 30,000 work-related emails to the State Department,
which have been released in batches since last year.

But she deleted about 30,000 additional emails from her server that she
says were "personal" in nature before handing it over to the FBI in
August, five months after handing over individual emails to the State
Department.

After examining her emails for more than a year, the State Department
issued a scathing report in May concluding that she "did not comply" with
the Department's policies when she chose to use a personal email account
to conduct government business.

The State Department faulted Clinton and previous secretaries of state for
poorly managing email and other computer information and for slowly
responding to new cybersecurity risks.

Two months later, the FBI decided not to recommend that the Justice
Department bring charges against Clinton, saying that Clinton's conduct
did not meet the threshold used to prosecute past violators who shared
classified information over unclassified channels.

"In looking back at our investigations into mishandling or removal of
classified information, we cannot find a case that would support bringing
criminal charges on these facts," Comey said in July, after the FBI
interviewed Clinton for three hours about her use of the server while at
the State Department.

Clinton's opponent, Donald Trump, has called the FBI's determination "very
unfair" and has said that if he were elected president he would "lock her
up" over her email scandal.

Clinton's unusual email system was originally set up by a staffer during
Clinton's 2008 presidential campaign. It replaced another private server
used by her husband, former President Bill Clinton.

The new server was run by Bryan Pagliano, who had worked as the IT
director on Hillary Clinton's campaign before joining the State Department
in May 2009. In 2013 — the same year she left the State Department —
Clinton hired a small Denver-based IT firm named Platte River Networks to
oversee the system.

Clinton has since apologized for using the email server, but insists that
she never sent nor received information marked "classified" using her
private email account.
