"There is new information." You mean, that the FBI is full of Trump fans with so little regard for their government service that they are using their office to further their own political preferences? The Foundation has been heavily, heavily investigated, and no one has come up with anything. Any. Thing.

For some reason, the Clintons operate under special media rules where people -- reporters, editors -- cast away skepticism and presume the worse. You have soaked it up. What's the scandal? The Clinton Foundation raises a lot of money and spends it on treating AIDS in the Third World. (Compare that to whatever W has done since he left the White House -- doesn't Bill look a little better? They are fine watercolors, though.) Lots of people have spent lots of time looking into the notion that, as Secretary of State, HRC did something to favor donors. No one has found anything. It's not like there is a huge secret about what she did as Secretary of State, between the press coverage and FOIA. It's not like her emails, and her staffs, haven't been leaked exhaustively. And still, nothing.

But you say there's new information. There's a sucker born every minute too.
