The Week

• If the FBI had been serious about finding Hillary’s missing e-mails, it would have subpoenaed Putin.

• FBI director James Comey’s recommendations concerning Hillary Clinton’s illegal servers (there was more than one, it turns out) were damning, in two ways: They damned both her competence and her honesty. Clinton and her colleagues were “extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information.” “Any reasonable person . . . should have known” that her servers were not secure; indeed, they were less secure than Gmail. Some of her e-mails, contrary to her denials, were marked “classified,” and she was “obligated to protect” even those that weren’t. As a result of her heedlessness, “hostile actors” probably hacked her: small wonder, since she worked “in the territory of sophisticated adversaries” (e.g., Russians, Chinese). Comey nevertheless concluded that since Clinton did not intend to break the law, “no reasonable prosecutor” would indict her. But this rewrites the law, which penalizes gross negligence in the handling of national-security secrets as well as willful misconduct. Comey thus damned himself, all but admitting that he recommended no prosecution for political reasons. Mrs. Clinton went campaigning with Obama mere hours after Comey wrapped up. Forget it Jake, it’s Clintontown.
