Character Indictment

Writing at USA Today, James S. Robbins draws the following conclusions from the comments of FBI Director Comey about Hillary Clinton's email mess:

In the view of the FBI, Hillary Clinton is a blundering fool who compromised national security but not a provable arch-criminal. This is not what the country needs in a president. “Dangerously negligent but never indicted” is an extremely low bar to set for the leadership of the free world. And it kills Hillary’s argument that she would be a highly skilled chief executive.

Today’s findings did not put the issue of Hillary Clinton’s ineptitude and possible criminal mishandling of documents to rest by any means. The FBI spared Clinton a criminal indictment, but it did indict her character.

Ironic homage to TV's Mr. Rogers: "Can you say 'unpresidential?'"
