As expected, the tempest that FBI Director James Comey created in the campaign teapot a week ago Friday turned out to be nothing:
“Based on our review, we have not changed our conclusion that we expressed in July with respect to Secretary Clinton,” Mr. Comey wrote in a letter to the leaders of several congressional committees. He said agents had reviewed all communications to and from Mrs. Clinton in the new trove when she was secretary of state.Emails from Huma Abedin's account on the Clinton email server were found on Anthony Weiner's laptop a few weeks ago during an unrelated investigation of Weiner's sexting scandal. Individuals within the FBI started leaking the existence of these emails to people in the Trump campaign (Rudy Giuliani and Jim Kallstrom), prompting Comey to write a letter to Congress informing them of the their existence.
In July Comey announced that, while Clinton had violated State Department rules by having her own email server, she had broken no laws. He needlessly got himself into hot water by editorializing about the investigation, calling Clinton "extremely careless."
Then, nine days ago, Comey himself violated Justice Department rules by releasing information about an ongoing investigation during an election.
The problem is that voting is already under way. How many thousands of votes did Clinton lose when Comey lent a fleeting phony air of legitimacy to the Trump campaign's portrayal of this new email revelation as somehow disqualifying?
It has become clear that certain elements in the New York FBI office are conspiring with Rudy Giuliani and the Trump campaign. In particular, the agents investigating the Clinton Foundation are buddy-buddy with Jim Kallstrom and Rudy Giuliani. They have used FBI resources to wage a political war against the Clintons.
The agents involved appear to be the prime Trump demographic: conservative, old, divorced white men who dread the possibility of having a female boss.
The next announcement Comey needs to make is about an investigation of the political machinations in the New York office of the FBI. But that can wait until Wednesday, after the election.
Why isn't the FBI investigating a real crime: Melania Trump worked illegally in the United States as a model in 1996. She made about $20,000 before she obtained the proper papers.
Trump's entire campaign has been based on the idea that we have to kick out all the illegal immigrants who do the jobs Americans don't want to -- picking our tomatoes, cleaning our hotel rooms, mopping our floors, cooking our food, roofing our houses, and butchering our meat.
Yet Trump's own wife is guilty of violating these same immigration law, to do a job that is in no way necessary to the economy or the national good, stealing jobs from -- as Trump would say -- beautiful, beautiful American women.
Like, say, Karen MacDougal, the woman that the Wall Street Journal says was paid off by the National Enquirer to keep her affair with Trump quiet.
If Trump is elected, he will have to set an example: his first act upon assuming the presidency must be to deport Melania.
Trump will secretly be overjoyed: he needed an excuse to trade her in for a younger model anyway. Melania has gotta be hitting menopause any day now. Clearly not a 10 anymore.
