"Late this past Friday afternoon the FBI conducted its second document dump in the Clinton email case. To those paying attention it has become clear that the case has compromised the FBI and destroyed the reputation of FBI Director of James Comey.
These Friday afternoon document dumps come straight from the scandal management playbook perfected under the (Bill) Clinton administration.
They remind us, in case any reminder was necessary, of how much we have to look forward to in the event the Clintons return to the White House.

A single conversation of about 10 emails later emerged last year after the Defense Department provided it.“The employee also said the Defense Department told the State Department last year it had found about 1,000 emails between Clinton and David Petraeus in its records from his time as the director of the United States Central Command.” …"
