Republicans can argue until their last breath that Trump objectors are sore losers, but isn’t more at stake than “mere politics”? This phrase has been rendered quaint by such serious issues as Russian hackers apparently trying to tilt the election toward Donald Trump; the FBI’s possibly politically motivated practices; Trump’s initial resistance to the conclusions of the U.S. intelligence community; Trump’s refusal to release tax records, which might mollify concerns about his relationship with Russia.
These aren’t partisan issues, or shouldn’t be, as evidenced by the Justice Department inspector general’s decision to investigate how FBI Director James B. Comey handled the probe of Hillary Clinton’s email and private server. The focus will be on Comey’s statement in July that Clinton and her colleagues were “extremely careless” with classified information but that he wasn’t recommending criminal charges — as well as his announcement to Congress just a week and a half before Election Day that, because of new information, he was reopening the investigation.
This fresh look pertained to new emails found on the laptop of Carlos Danger, a.k.a. Anthony Weiner (but, really, why the name change?), estranged husband of top Clinton adviser Huma Abedin. The emails subsequently were found to be inconsequential, but if there were any fence-sitters left at that point, at least many of them probably toppled into Trump’s camp, from sheer exhaustion if not outright disgust.

Trump’s election had nothing to do with Russian influence. Period.
No, you didn’t elect Donald Trump. WE elected Donald Trump.
Long journey Kate’s been on. She used to be pretty lucid.
Wow Kathleen, are those black helicopters flying over your head?
America isn’t buying your conspiracy crap. We want jobs, we want our pride back, we want all that PC stuff shoved back into a box. We want to stop thinking of our fellow Americans as hyphenated anything. We want to honor our cops, fire fighters, military and I mean really honor them not just give lip service to them
Well, how the hell did we elect Barack Obama, Kathleen?
...Trump’s refusal to release tax records, which might mollify concerns about his relationship with Russia.
Don’t give these MFs an inch. Trump owes these basterds nothing.
Kathleen,
Were you part of the 20+ team at the Washington Post that tried to dig up dirt on Trump? Yeah, that’s really objective.
Kathleen, we really don’t care to hear your useless and biased opinion so put a sock in it. This entire article was a whole lot of nothing.
Yes, we really did elect Donald Trump.
And he is even eligible to hold the office, unlike the Kenyanesian Usurper.
All the fake news in the world won’t cover the stench of both parties colluding to violate the Constitution.
Skanks such as Kathleen Parker serve no useful purpose and do not merit my time.
Her opinion is meaningless to me because I’m certain it’s nasty and mean just like her outlook and disposition.
Yes, we did. So do like we've been doing since 2008 and live with it...we had to...it's your turn. So sit down and STFU.
She’s basing her hypothesis on Nate Silver who had it right about Obama but wrong about the 2014 Republic take over of Congress, wrong about Brexit and now wrong about Trump.
One out of three makes Silver wrong most of the time.
Lying liars continue to try to sell tired and disproven lies!
Fake News after the break (from fake news).
Kate must be buying Prep H by the gallon for that butthurt of hers.
“Comey acted against bureau policy never to interfere politically or discuss investigations so close to an election.”
So when are the times that the FBI is allowed to “interfere politically” moron?
Kathleen Parker is the genius who was baffled by Ted Cruz’s calling for the “body of Christ” get more involved in the election. She asked why Cruz was talking about the corpse of Jesus.
Hey Kathleen. You libs keep telling us that Hillary won the popular vote, so explain to us again how Comey and the Russians ‘stole’ the election for Trump?
Take your stupid article and shove it up your whatever.
Boy, when she went Left (instead of playing a conservative) she stayed Left.
Kathleen, did you REALLY host a show with Eliot Spitzer.
