Big Picture Rumble: Hughey Newsome, BOLD.global/Move-On-Up & Valerie Ervin, Working Families Party both join Thom. As the fallout continues over FBI director James Comey's decision to go public with the discovery of emails that may or may not be related to Hillary Clinton - the evidence is growing that significant elements within the FBI are trying to get Donald Trump elected president. We also now have confirmation that some of those same pro-Trump (or at least-anti-Clinton) elements within the FBI have had contact with the Trump campaign itself.

Big Picture Interview: Scott Roberts, Color of Change joins Thom. Early voter turnout among African Americans is down in key swing states ll across the country. So are we now watching Republicans voter suppression efforts work in real time?

The Big Picture Lone Liberal Rumble: Tim Cavanaugh, American Media Institute & Travis Korson, Madison Strategies join Thom. Far-right groups like the Ku Klux Klan and the Oathkeepers are gearing for a massive voter intimidation campaign on election day. Will Republicans freak about this like they freaked about ACORN and the New Black Panther Party in 2008? Or will they stay silent about it because voter suppression is all part of their plan?

Big Picture Politics Panel w/Alex Lawson, Social Security Works & Bryan Pruitt, RedState join Thom. Republican North Carolina Senator Richard Burr is under fire this week for making jokes about the assassination of Hillary Clinton at a recent GOP event in his home state. But he said something else at that same event that is getting far less attention - even though it's just as outrageous. Like Ted Cruz and John McCain - Burr said that if Hillary Clinton were elected president he would do everything possible to prevent her from filling the opening on the Supreme Court left by the death of Antonin Scalia earlier this year. Isn't this worse than obstructionist - isn't it seditious?
