Oh hey. Remember all those new emails on Huma Abedin’s computer that were going to deliver the goods on Hillary Clinton once and for all? Well, um, not so much:

Well, that’s good to hear, though hardly a surprise. It might have been nice if Comey had waited until today to say anything in the first place, though.
