Hillary Clinton and fellow liberals are trying frantically to distract attention from a serious peril facing the candidate — indictment for putting national secrets at risk.

After FBI Director James Comey revealed the investigation into Clinton’s illegal handling of emails while she was secretary of state has been resumed, Clinton and her cronies opened the floodgates of invective.

Comey is improperly influencing the election between her and Donald Trump, Clinton insists.

Strange, isn’t it, how the Democrats switched so quickly from the effusive praise they heaped on Comey in July, after he announced he would not be recommending Clinton for prosecution? Of course, in their minds he was influencing the election the right way then.

By Monday, Clinton was switching between demands Comey release details of the new investigation and claims that, “there’s no case here.” How, one wonders, can she say that without knowing what the FBI is investigating?

FBI agents are looking into emails involving Clinton and one of her top aides, Huma Abedin. They were recovered from a computer owned by Abedin’s estranged husband, former Congressman Anthony Weiner.

Weiner, of course, is the sexual sleaze with a propensity for sending pictures focusing on a man’s underwear to women and now, say the authorities, a 15-year-old girl. The very fact he had access to official government emails raises serious questions about how Clinton, Abedin and others handled national secrets.

It is that question Clinton hopes can be drowned out by the criticism of Comey.
