Most Republicans and their presidential candidates (when they're not bashing each other like four-year-olds) are focused on Hillary Clinton as the Democratic nominee, living in fear that the Department of Justice will give a pass to the former secretary of state on her email and foundation malfeasances, even if the FBI recommends indictments.
And where is the FBI anyway? What's taking them so long?
But this has not been a good few days for Mrs. Clinton. First she lost in three states by stunning margins to Bernie Sanders, who garnered 71% of the vote in Hawaii, 73% in Washington, and and a huge 81% in Alaska.
Then it got worse.
| Cue the theme from 'Jaws'... |
The L.A. Times reported that FBI interviews were finally looming for Mrs. Clinton and her close aides Huma Abedin, Jake Sullivan, Cheryl Mills and Philippe Reines. And 147 FBI agents are now officially said to be involved. That's a lot of investigative power being applied to one case (or group of cases) and a lot of potential leakers if the DOJ rejects an indictment.
Republicans should be paying attention to this phenomenon -- the rise of Bernie -- because it's scary. Its results could be worse than a Hillary presidency, actually a lot worse. And, as I just mentioned, he's beating everyone in the polls in both parties. You may think that will evaporate by itself or in the back and forth of a general election campaign -- and I hope you're right. But what if it doesn't?
