LAST WEEK, EVEN MAKING SUCH A CLAIM WAS MONSTROUS AND ANTI-DEMOCRATIC. BUT NOW . . . Dems adopt Trump’s ‘rigged’ line after FBI bombshell.
The FBI’s decision on Friday to revisit its investigation into Hillary Clinton’s handling of classified material sent Democrats and Clinton campaign staffers into a frenzy, leading some to accuse the agency of election tampering and sounding much like Donald Trump as they did so.
“[FBI Director James] Comey needs to provide full info immediately. Otherwise he has clearly made a partisan intervention,” liberal New York Times columnist Paul Krugman tweeted soon after the bombshell announcement.
Krugman then added, “If we don’t hear more from Comey, we just have to conclude that he was trying to swing election. And that should be the story.”
Like Krugman, the chairman of Clinton’s campaign, John Podesta, demanded that Comey “provide the American public more information than is contained in the letter he sent to eight Republican committee chairmen.”
Yes, all that have-you-no-decency stuff only goes one way.
