I don't think there is any direct connection. Just some friendly help for a brother in spirit, if it actually was Russia's doing. Which has yet to be proven. I tend to believe it, but I'm not jumping the bandwaggon until there's some solid evidence.
I don't know one way or the other. But I agree with Cecelia that there's an investigation looking into it, assuming due diligence on the part of the FBI. Point being, Comey was required by Congress to report any change in status on the Clinton investigation. Calling his move political and calling for his termination seems wildly inappropriate to me -- they guy's doing his job and, by the way, trying to avoid contempt-of-Congress charges.

As for my own part, I can't decide which one is worse lol. It's just pretty bad that it's come to the point of being between those 2. 
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

I need to retract what I said about him being required to notify Congress. I was under that impression, but my impression was wrong.

The FBI is undoubtedly investigating Trump's connection with the hacks, yet---we get no updates on that. Which we shouldn't, as Matt Miller said. But we also shouldn't be getting this nonsense when there's absolutely no context available. And especially when none of them have been reviewed yet. 11 days before the election, and he decides to come out with this, when the FBI doesn't regularly do this sort of thing--especially near an election?
When this turns out to be another non-story, Comey should be fired.
Hillary could have produced the materials when they were subpoenaed.
So, the timing was up to Hillary.
Her penchant for the self inflicted wound is the stuff of legends.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Weiner's dick pix should be posted with Drumpf. Then we'd have two dicks to look at.

Trump and clinton doesn't have magical bag of money nor any of them, in my opinon, will risk their life's to go against the lobby, meaning they won't be able to change anything substantual.

If you think they are similarly bad you don't know. Its like saying "well he's a serial killer but she doesn't recycle so ........"
