And who knows how far along the Trump investigation was at that time. I don't know. I'm not defending the guy. He must have known what he was saying would influence the election. And apparenty the FBI were pretty unhappy with Clinton's conduct during the investigation.
But it's a pretty unprecedented situation where both candidates are under active FBI investigations.

That's an odd review, wasn't expecting that.

The reason the Republicans in Congress have so willingly signed on to Trump's destruction of governing norms is that they need him to pass tax reform and the health-care bill and all the other conservative legislative agenda items that have languished over the last decade. As it stands, they still have a chance to shepherd all those policies through, but that chance drops to zero the moment they turn on Trump.

If he is, the damage he manages to do to the legitimacy of the US government may well be fatal.
Still, I'm hopeful he won't. Midterms next year might see a very different makeup in congress. A Democrat-controlled house is likely to be far less forgiving.
