By the time I posted that yesterday, it was 100% a known thing that Comey was *not* reopening an investigation - as TGJB said, in his letter Comey specifically said they didn't know whether it mattered (or what 'it' was, or how long it would take to figure those things out).

By now, it appears clear that the emails in question were sent by an aide, not by HRC. In fact, sources are suggesting that many, or even all, of the emails could be duplicates of emails already produced.

Beyond that, Comey has sent a second letter, internal, which of course has gone wide, in which he basically acknowledges that he fucked this up in a very meaningful way.
