A phyrrhic Vicory?
I'm wondering if Hillary and the DNC have real cause for celebration. It’s true that team Hillary was let off the hook, but at what cost. There were 3 possible scenarios open to FBI director Comey.
1. He could have recommended an indictment in which case Hillary would resign and the DNC would nominate either Sanders who polls much better than Trump or Biden who would absolutely crush Trump. Bad for Hillary good for DNC.
2. He could have simply said the FBI found no evidence of wrongdoing during her tenure at State and then provide no details. This would have completely exonerated her and would have been the best scenario for Hillary and the DNC. I’m sure the administration is none too pleased that he didn’t do this.
3. What he did was provide a laundry list of her transgressions. He totally destroyed the veracity of her previous public statements regarding her e-mails. This plays right into the narrative that she is above the law and is a liar. Every time Trump calls her “crooked,” voters will remember this episode.
This is the best possible outcome for Trump and the RNC and why I consider it a pyrrhic victory for Hillary. At this point, the RNC would be wise to leave it alone and let Trump take on Hillary.
