How the FBI subverted itself
For one, it would add to Hillary’s pain. For another, Trump would crow. Third, it would remind us that Putin bought his signal victory with the Democrats’ money.

My problems with the FBI and Democratic party
When you stand proudly with the foremost agency of an outlaw security state, you gain something else that guarantees defeat: scorn. So shake it all off, Democrats. You still have time, if you act now.
What happens to people who reveal classified information
Edward Snowden exiled in Moscow, Julian Assange jailed in London, and Chelsea Manning jailed in Virginia remind all of us every day what happens to people who reveal classified information.
Russia rides again
Clinton told all of us, “You know what to expect with me. You will get more of the same. You can’t say that about my opponent, can you?” Voters opted for unpredictability over stability. “Let’s see what happens.”
