Even Trump's campaign manager doesn't think Comey has 'very much' to say about the Clinton emails

As much as Donald Trump's campaign manager Kellyanne Conway says she wants FBI Director James Comey to be more transparent about the new developments in the investigation of Hillary Clinton's emails, she isn't sure that's even possible. "I want him to say what he can say, but I'm not sure that's very much," Conway said during a Monday interview on MSNBC's Morning Joe.
"I think that the Clinton campaign knows they're asking Jim Comey to do things and reveal things that he simply can't do or say," Conway said, adding that the "nature of investigations" would preclude the FBI from revealing much at this point. Instead, Conway suggested that if the Clinton campaign wants to get fast answers on the new emails that piqued the bureau's interest, it could call for the immediate release of the search warrant pertaining to the case — or, of course, just ask top aide Huma Abedin.
