1. Freaky Friday
The presidential race went haywire Friday afternoon with the release of a letter from FBI director James Comey informing Congress that the bureau had found some new emails related to Clinton and was looking at them.
2. The Weiner surprise
Eyes grew wider when it emerged that the new emails had come to light through an unrelated FBI investigation of Anthony Weiner, the husband (separated) of top Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin. Weiner is under investigation for allegedly sexting with a 15-year-old.
3. Trump celebrates
Trump said the news had made him rethink his assessment of everything inside and outside government being “rigged.” “I’m very proud that the FBI was willing to do this, actually,” he said.
4. Clinton camp demands more info
“It is extraordinary that we would see something like this just 11 days out from a presidential election,” Clinton’s campaign chair John Podesta said in a statement demanding more information. The political repercussions, if any, were unclear.
'On the nose'
I'm sorry but these men and their penises imperiling this candidacy is just a little too on the nose for me, can I get a rewrite?

Summary
Love when the writers bring back the minor stuff and tie it in to the main arc, shows a lot of forethought

7. Biden ‘no’ on state
Vice-president Joe Biden tamped down speculation that he might serve as secretary of state in a Clinton administration. “I’ll do anything I can if Hillary’s elected to help her,” he said, “but I don’t want to remain in the administration.”
