While the White House ultimately said Mr. Comey was fired for breaking with Justice Department policy and discussing the Clinton investigation, Mr. Trump expressed no such qualms in an interview with Ms. Bartiromo of Fox Business Network. “Director Comey was very, very good to Hillary Clinton, that I can tell you,” he said. “If he weren’t, she would be, right now, going to trial.”
She had claimed that the Comey investigation publicity (breaking justice department policy) cost her the campaign, after all; or did I get this wrong?
Losing a campaign and going to jail, however, are two quite different kinds of things, quite apart from a false and rhetorical assertion of qualms.
So, now that Comey has been fired, why not bring Clinton up on charges that seem to have traction?
Getting both Clinton charged and Trump impeached both seem to have been on the Russian agenda.
If Clinton isn't ultimately charged, then the Russians' strategy has failed, in part.
