I speak, of course, of the question of whether Hillary Clinton used the wrong email account. And guess what:A multiyear State Department probe of emails that were sent to former secretary of state Hillary Clinton’s private computer server concluded there was no systemic or deliberate mishandling of classified information by department employees, according to a report submitted to Congress this month. Because after all, they’d say, “The story is out there” and “Questions are being raised,” all of which “plays into a narrative.”But it’s about more than Hillary Clinton, and this is where we have to prepare for the future. So while hundreds of stories were being written about Clinton’s emails, the trail of potentially scandalous behavior by Trump was treated as barely worthy of attention. Most gobsmacking of all, the Republican defense of his strong-arming the Ukrainian president into digging up dirt on the Bidens is that Trump — Trump!
