Washington Post Editorial Board: Enough With the Damn Emails
‘The Hillary Clinton Email Story Is Out of Control’
The Washington Post Editorial Board Thursday night slammed those who insist on keeping the Hillary Clinton email story alive.
In ‘The Hillary Clinton Email Story Is Out of Control,’ they lambast NBC’s Matt Lauer for his questions the previous evening, most of which were about Clinton’s emails. The Post’s editors wrote, “one would think that her homebrew server was one of the most important issues facing the country this election. It is not.”
The editors note there “are a thousand other substantive issues…that would have revealed more about what the candidates know and how they would govern.”
They also struck out at NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick:
“You have Donald Trump, who’s openly racist,†he said. Then, of Ms. Clinton: “I mean, we have a presidential candidate who’s deleted emails and done things illegally and is a presidential candidate. That doesn’t make sense to me, because if that was any other person, you’d be in prison.â€Â
In fact, Ms. Clinton’s emails have endured much more scrutiny than an ordinary person’s would have, and the criminal case against her was so thin that charging her would have been to treat her very differently.
They conclude there “is no equivalence between Ms. Clinton’s wrongs and Mr. Trump’s manifest unfitness for office.”
In other words:
