LA Times: Trump +4 post-FBI announcement.
October 31, 2016Stop saying that Comey’s action is unprecedented …
October 31, 2016There was an election season DOJ action that’s partially responsible for the mess we have now.
======
My conclusion in July was that Comey ruled illogically because he didn’t want to be responsible for tilting a potentially historic election.
But, WikiLeaks revelations and an internal agents’ revolt left him no choice but to re-open the case. It was becoming clearer by the day that he (not the FBI agents!) blotched the case.
Now, left-leaners are crying “foul” … asserting that the DOJ shouldn’t get involved in cases involving high profile candidates in the run-up to an election … especially if the charges are as “trivial” as carelessly handling our nation’s top secret information.
Say, what?
Memo to Comey: It was DOJ action that changed the course of our nation in 2008 — giving us, for example, ObamaCare.
Flashback to 2008 … you know, the year that Barack Obama was elected.
Well, the DOJ didn’t indict Sen. John McCain for anything … or, overtly pave the way for Obama’s election …. but the DOJ did tilt the scales in a defining way.
Who did they indict?
=======
The DOJ indicted Alaska’s Ted Stevens, the longest-serving Republican senator in U.S. history. He was indicted during his 2008 re-election campaign.
What were the charges, what were the implications, and how was the case ultimately resolved?
Our poll-of-polls: Dead heat !
October 31, 2016Bottom line: Trump seems to have gotten a 2 to 3 point bounce from the FBI action … pulling even with Clinton.
===========
Recap: WaPo & IBD have Clinton still up by 1 point … LA Times has Trump up 2 … average = dead heat.
LA Times / USC
