There is no conceivable way that FBI Director James Comey’s last-minute update to Congress about the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s email server was beneficial to her.

If anything, it seemed like Comey’s letter — and its sequel, dropped two days before Election Day — might tamp down turnout. CONT.
