We Have 10 Days of Madhouse Politics Ahead of Us | Mother Jones - Mother Jones

With 10 days to go before Election Day, we are FUBARed. Have you heard? There are some emails. They are pertinent to something or other. But nobody has actually read them, so, actually, maybe they aren't.

They are from Hillary Clinton to Huma Abedin. No, wait, they aren't. Or maybe they are. No they're not.

They are duplicates of emails we've already seen. No they aren't. But maybe some of them are. Or most of them.

The FBI was legally required to inform Congress about these emails. No, just the opposite: it was an egregious breach of a longstanding Department of Justice policy of not announcing things that might affect a presidential campaign within 60 days of Election Day.

The emails are "bigger than Watergate." They're a nothingburger.

Jim Comey was in a no-win situation. No, he should have waited until he knew more.

Comey had no idea what effect his cryptic letter would have. Don't be an idiot: he's been in Washington for decades and knew exactly what effect it would have.

Sure, but he's a standup guy. No, he's a Republican hack and he's trying to affect Republican chances in downballot races.

What an unbelievable cock-up. Are we really going to spend the last ten days of the election eagerly awaiting each new leak from "officials" at the FBI who might know things and might not? Seriously? After this election is over, Jim Comey should resign and then spend the rest of his life in a monastery reflecting on his failings.
