FBI probe: A ‘trump’ card for Donald Trump!



                                                          FBI probe: A ‘trump’ card for Donald Trump!

This presidential election of the United States of America has drawn much more attention than any other elections. The reason is mere two candidates, Democratic party’s candidate Hillary Clinton and Republican party’s contender Donald Trump, they both have put in much spicy factor in the 2016 American presidential elections. With only a few days left for the final polling, a twist came in which is believed to alter the result at the end. The issue of using personal server during the tenure of Hillary Clinton as secretary of state added spark to the election campaign. From the last few months, the presidential campaign was quite restricted to open debates between Hillary and Donald Trump but since the email issue came up, the almost declared winner Clinton fate appears to be in dark. The email controversy has definitely put Hillary into the back seat as a clear 4% decrease has been reported in her popularity. Before the email controversy came up in this election, Hillary was reported to be ahead of Donald by 12-14%. Though the image of Donald Trump is not very good in Americans, with no other choice, he might get automatically ahead in polls. Keeping aside the matter of who is a better candidate or who deserves the seat of the world’s most powerful president, the issue is how and why this email controversy again came up as it was once probed earlier by FBI, and that too before few days of final polling. This might be a conspiracy to pull down Hillary’s popularity in a very short term and affect the results. Since, the probe is again underway by the FBI, when the result of this investigation would come out as the agency has to verify bundles of 6,50,000 emails. It is interesting to note that these emails were released by the husband of her vice chairwoman of 2016 election Huma Abedin, Anthony Weiner. The issue was raised second time by FBI Director Jim Comey at this crucial time. Though Comey was elected by Barack Obama he belongs to Trump’s party, hence one cannot deny any chances of controversy being plotted against Hillary Clinton.

If one looks into any of these candidate’s history, they were involved in controversies. Hillary was involved with controversies regarding her Wall Street speeches and people considered her as the heir of corrupt management. While as far as Donald is concerned, he is accused exploitation of women and several females have came up in limelight against him. Besides this, he is also accused of not opening his tax records to the government. With both candidates involved in the controversies, Americans don’t consider any of them as ideal candidates. Though the reports say Hillary Clinton suffered a 4% decrease in her popularity but still majority of them forecasts Hillary’s victory. The election results will definitely be interesting as 20 million voters have voted already.
