From the right: FBI Misled Public To Help Hillary

The New York Times report this weekend on FBI Director James Comey’s late-election revelations about the investigation into Hillary Clinton is being used by pro-Hillary partisans to prove Comey swung the vote to President Trump. But at The Weekly Standard, Mark Hemingway notices evidence the FBI misled the public in order to protect Clinton. Federal officials at first acknowledged receiving a criminal complaint about Clinton, then backtracked even though they were right the first time. Says Hemingway: Comey might have handled it better, but “Clinton defenders rarely note that there are many indefensible ways in which the Obama administration aided and abetted her from the consequences of what appeared to sensible Americans as plainly illegal behavior.”
