while investigating potentially illicit messages from former congressman anthony weiner to an underage girl, the fbi found e-mails from his estranged wife and clinton top aide huma abedin. so after spending months of sorting out and not finding possible legal violations by hillary clinton from her private server, investigators are checking into abedin's e-mails. so this new e-mail match, it really put fbi director james comey in such a bind. you know, either he announces an investigation just days before the election and risks accusations of upending the clinton campaign, or he waits. he waits until after the election and risks accusations of withholding potentially valuable information. he chose the former, but it was a real catch-22. >> if this latest revelation about the investigation has to do with clinton's aide and not her behavior specifically, what's all the fuss about? >> maybe the best way to describe it is to say guilt by association. you know that term, so do i. hillary clinton's e-mail issues dragged on for months with legitimate criticism that her private e-mail server co
