The political elite remain puzzled—and in agony—over how Donald Trump could still be in the race. A bullying debater! A purveyor of mistruths! A would-be autocrat! How has our country come to this?
The answer sat staring at them on a videolink this Wednesday, in the smug countenance of James Comey.
This obvious truth will be missed by the left and the media, which continue to comfort themselves with the fiction that Mr. Trump won in 2016 by preying on the weak and ill-informed. The opposite is true. The businessman was propelled to office on the fury of those who had seen too much. They’d watched for decades as an insulated elected class—Democrat and Republican alike—broke promises, failed to solve problems, and blamed it on the system.
These voters had watched the swamp take over—IRS targeters, self-righteous prosecutors, zealous regulators—armed with stunning powers and a mentality that they were entitled to make the rules, to tell the little people what was best for them. Voters fumed over the double standard. Hillary Clinton deleted government emails with abandon, while a 77-year-old Navy veteran went to prison for building a pond in contravention of “navigable water” rules.
Mr. Comey personifies what enrages those Americans. His testimony this week was a vivid reminder that the election won’t hinge only on the issues as defined by the media elite. Tuesday’s brawl was mostly about the virus, the economy, violence in the streets, the Supreme Court. But November’s vote for many Americans will be a choice between an administration that believes we the people should run Washington, and those who believe the swamp should rule the masses. Mr. Biden wouldn’t challenge the mandarins; he’d unleash them.

Such a Smirking sleaze ball and he’s going to get away with it AND have a Showtime movie puke
It’s a pleasure to read Kim Strassel, a journalist warrior for our free republic. We the People approve... as the Mandarins, Hid’n Bidens, Nanzi Pelosis, and Romney Rats ceaselessly plot to take OUR President down.
Very good article. Trump or somebody in his campaign should indeed challenge Biden on this (particularly since Biden was up to his weird eyeballs in the plot).

The guy who took meticulous notes on President and yet, this, he doesn’t recall the letter. Yep, they all are going to say, I don’t recall.
and wrote a book about it!
The FBI learned how to testify form the Mafia.
Thank you for posting a link to the full article. It is a great article. I despise Comey. May his name resonate in infamy forever.
Bump to the top!
“I think that the reports that you provide to us really require the willing suspension of disbelief.
We Need to use their own words against them.
Well, why not? They know a paper tiger when they see one.
I think you misspelled Clintons”.
No mistake sir. Both the FBI and the Xlintons learned their organized crime techniques from the Mafia ( who invented it ). IMO Puzo’s novel and movie the Godfather changed the world. It is how-to book on running a syndicate.
