The Week

• Whoever used that hammer on Hillary’s phones should loan it to Huma Abedin.

• Acting as if it were an arm of the Clinton campaign, the FBI dumped the contents of its investigation of Hillary Clinton’s e-mail practices into the public domain on the Friday afternoon before Labor Day. The files did nothing to exonerate Clinton and instead added key details demonstrating the extent of her recklessness. Her team deleted e-mails even as she publicly called for transparency. She had 13 e-mail devices, yet mysteriously her legal team couldn’t locate a single one to turn over to the FBI. Her aides admitted to “talking around” classified information on unclassified systems, a practice that endangers national security. And Clinton herself claimed not to remember key briefings and not even to understand a common classification marking. All in all, it adds up to an operation that was amateurish at best and a criminal conspiracy at worst, with more than enough evidence to support an indictment. Less prominent people would be busy negotiating a plea bargain, but Hillary continues her run for president. It is indeed good to be a Clinton.
