In
a major blow to the Clinton campaign’s talking points, none of the FBI’s
“investigations so far have found any link between Mr. Trump and
the Russian government.”
Law
enforcement officials say that none of the investigations so far have found any
link between Mr. Trump and the Russian government.
And
even the hacking into Democratic emails, F.B.I. and intelligence officials now
believe, was aimed at disrupting the presidential election rather than electing
Mr. Trump.
Hillary
Clinton’s supporters, angry over what they regard as a lack of scrutiny of Mr.
Trump by law enforcement officials, pushed for these investigations.
In
recent days they have also demanded that James B. Comey, the director of the
F.B.I., discuss them publicly, as he did last week when he announced that a new
batch of emails possibly connected to Mrs. Clinton had been discovered.
The Obama White House broke with the Clinton campaign and its Democrat allies over their attacks on FBI Director James Comey, praising his character and saying the president did not believe he was trying to influence the election.
Hillary
Clinton continues to blast FBI Director James Comey for his decision to
announce his agency is once again investigating emails that could be related to
her use of a private email system.
But
Clinton’s No. 1 surrogate – President Barack Obama – isn’t exactly on message.
“The
president believes that Director Comey is a man of integrity, he’s a man of
principle and he’s a man of good character,” Press Secretary Josh Earnest told
reporters Monday.
Earnest
said he wouldn’t judge Comey, appointed by Obama in 2013, for making the
announcement 11 days before Election Day, which has earned near universal
criticism from fellow Democrats.
Strong
enthusiasm for Hillary Clinton has ebbed since the renewal of the FBI’s email
investigation.
While
vote preferences have held essentially steady, she’s now a slim point behind
Donald Trump -- a first since May -- in the latest ABC News/Washington Post
tracking poll, produced for ABC by Langer Research Associates.
Forty-six
percent of likely voters support Trump in the latest results, with 45 percent
for Clinton.
Trump
now leads Clinton by 8 points in the share of voters who are very enthusiastic
about their choice as of Friday.
Strong enthusiasm for Clinton has lost 7
points since the start of tracking, especially Friday through Sunday.
This
is possibly an after-effect of the renewed controversy over her use of a private
email server while secretary of state.
Obama and Clinton sold ObamaCare to American citizens with blatant lies, saying the law would lower premiums and out of pocket costs, that we could keep our doctor and health care plans, and that more competition would lead to greater choice among insurance providers.
Jonathan Gruber, an architect of the law, famously admitted that ObamaCare was passed by exploiting the “stupidity of the
American voter.”
As ObamaCare open enrollment begins, Americans are
being met with skyrocketing premiums (as high as 116% in Arizona), fleeing insurers, and cancelled plans.
ObamaCare is a disaster, or as Hillary Clinton said:
“working as designed.”
