When FBI Director James Comey described former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's handling of government secrets as reckless and entirely inappropriate, he created a de facto indictment of her. Her 'trial' was the election, Donald Trump was the prosecutor, and she testified at length, if not under oath, on her own behalf.
Which is to say Hillary Rodham Clinton was tried in the court of public opinion, and this a.m. the verdict came in from a jury eventually numbering perhaps 120 million or more.
Verdict: Guilty as charged.
Sentence: Political oblivion.
Two American political dynasties died yesterday, the Bushes and the Clintons. The Clintons at least died trying desperately, the Bushes effectively committed suicide. Like the #NeverTrumpers, neither will be missed.
It's time to thank the vast 'jury' for their patience and insight, and excuse them to go about their lawful pursuits.
Court stands adjourned.
