If it weren’t for the FBI Director James Comey’s inappropriate letter to Congress about an email discovery that may or may not having any relevance to the election, the political highlight of last week would have been Michelle Obama’s speech at Wake Forest University (WFU).
With less than two weeks before Election Day, the WFU event on Friday was the first joint campaign appearance for the first lady and Hillary Clinton.
And all it took was one day after to prove one of her main points ― that the campaign has been “so dirty and ugly that we don’t want any part of it.”
Comey has but a thin claim to innocence. He didn’t have to do it, but he chose to make a political act. By breaking the protocol of silence during an ongoing investigation, Comey’s letter to Congress just days before the election gives the gift of innuendo to political spinners everywhere.
Trump now says maybe the election isn’t rigged.
Clinton demands an explanation about just what the FBI is looking at.
And voters, especially millennials, have more reason to be turned off to Washington and its ways.
