To be clear, this is not to suggest that in similar circumstances, a person who engaged in this activity would face no consequences. To the contrary, those individuals are often subject to security or administrative sanctions. But that is not what we are deciding now.

This is Trump's opening.

Any other person that did this would have been sanctioned immediately. Their security clearance would have been immediately terminated, and if their job required the clearance, they would have been fired.

Trump should be asking: why are you considering such a person for the "top job" in the US? She wouldn't be able to get a job at any defense contractor in the US, ever again.

How can you trust her with the "nuclear football"?

You got it. Trump's ability to attack Hillary is the silver lining in the case.

The negative statement that Comey made about Hillary's carelessness and poor judgement is all we need to put Trump over the top.

Trump can hammer her over and over again on this.

Then, once Trump gains power, he can drill down big time on the Clinton Foundation fraud.

The lady with the big cankles is euphoric today, but the fat lady has not sung yet.
