Well-intentioned but careless, said the commander in chief, describing Hillary's use of a private email server. Three months later, Comey, in a Vulcan mind-meld with his boss, arrived at an identical conclusion.



If Comey had followed the letter of the law, the trail of guilt may have led all the way to Obama himself.



McCabe and the two lovers demonstrated the very essence of the right stuff: a breezy comfort with bending the law to the demands of politics.

Simpson staked the credibility of the dossier on just one thing: Steele's super awesomeness.



Democratic lawmakers became the ventriloquist's dummies, moving their lips mechanically as CIA director Brennan spoke.



The Clinton campaign called on the FBI to investigate.



We have a word to describe the use of fabricated evidence to make an innocent man appear guilty: The Obama administration framed Carter Page. But not only Carter Page. The Obama administration framed Donald Trump.



Carter Page. But not only Carter Page. The Obama administration Donald Trump. Brennan's somber and self-righteous appeal to hidden secrets is the oldest con in the book.



Choose your poison, Hillary enablers: You duped people and thereby abetted a gross abuse of power; or you were yourself badly duped.

In a textbook example of denial and projection, Trump foes in and out of government wove a sinister yarn meant to take him down...Shaming was all well and good, but it only resonated among committed voters. Winning the election required convincing independents that Trump was more than just a passive beneficiary of the DNC hack; he had to be an accomplice.1. What's behind Trump's fascination with Vladimir Putin?2. Why does Trump surround himself with advisers with links to the Kremlin?3. Why do Trump's foreign policy ideas read like a Putin wish list?4. Do Trump's still-secret tax returns show ties to Russian oligarchs?5. Why is Trump encouraging Russia to interfere in our election?Each question was followed by a short answer, leading to the inevitable conclusion that Trump was actively conspiring with Putin....Of course, no one is in deeper denial than Hillary Clinton herself. After she had conceded to Trump on the night of the election, Obama called her. Taking the phone, she said, "Mr. President, I'm sorry."Sorry, no doubt, that the baton had fallen to the ground once again. Sorry that she would not be the first female president. Sorry that she would not hold the reins of power. But was contrition an aspect of any component of her sorrow?In an interview last September, she clung to the fiction that the election was stolen. Her belief that Trump conspired with Putin was absolute. "There certainly was communication, and there certainly was an understanding of some sort", Clinton said. She had "no doubt" that Putin sought a Trump victory, that there was a "tangle of financial relationships" between Trump and Russia, and that Trump's associates "worked really hard to hide their connections with Russians." Were those, in her mind, clear signs of collusion? "I'm convinced of it", she said.She will remain convinced until the day she dies. The alternative, a rigorous examination of conscience, is too painful to contemplate. How much longer will Hillary Clinton's damaged psyche hold America hostage?
