McConnell, Ryan, Cruz etc. had already laid the groundwork because they thought she would win. No judges approved. No support for any of her programs and starting impeachment hearings on day one.

We would have won seats in WI, PA and NC, and possibly picked up seats in MO and IN. We were favored in all of them.

That entire election was turned upside down by Comey at the end.

They would have flown just under the radar as they have for years. Narcisists always end this way. They can't help themselves. They push and push and push until they find the cliff and their momentum carries them over the edge.

any AG that she appointed would have thought it pointless, and she'd never been dumb enough to force it to advance. Look at LBJ and the Nixon campaign. Look at Obama and the Bush II administration. There's no mileage in going after the previous administration. Even the Trump administration was waved off of this which is why the "lock her up" died so fast and he settled that lawsuit over his "university". Presidents don't "win" court fights.

I think a whole lot of us walk a fine line at times in our lives, and if we feel we can get away with it - for whatever reason - we'll cross that line in a heart beat.

Belonging to an organization - in this case the White House - that thumbs its nose at law enforcement, tax enforcement, the intelligence community, and the Main Stream Media has got to be about as stupid as a criminal can get!
