I mean you’re running the leading campaign to be president and you find out one of your top aids was married to a pedophile... the best case scenario was that Huma Abedin was a horrible judge of character. How could someone with that much baggage not get fired from such a sensitive job?

Well, she wasn't the pedo, was she? Still, knowing what a political animal Hillary is, it was surprising the wife didn't 'resign so she could spend more time with her family.'

No, she wasn’t the pedo. But it was her computer Comey claimed he needed right before the election. Like I said before, you marry a pedophile the best case scenerio is you’re a bad judge of character. If that pedo is a US Congressman that’s at best complicated and suspicious. And it did cost her votes.

^ Picking up on this comment, Rachel Maddow puts this re-investigation into a frightening perspective: part of an extensive campaign by Republicans and the Trump admin to discredit the Dems, deflect attention from Russian meddling and all its ramifications, and to use the FBI and the DOJ for their own partisan agenda.

RM starts by talking about this weekend's Camp David get-together, which is probably going to be a brain-storming session to oust Jeff Sessions. The picture that RM paints is a scary one for the future of America: all the checks and balances with which people reassured themselves that Trump's power would be restricted - all those checks and balances are being subverted to serve the president. Instead of defending US democracy against Russian meddling, the focus of various investigations is shifting towards defending Trump.

This clip is pretty long, but half of it should be enough to see how things are going:-

^ Yeah, but unfortunately laughing is not an effective political tool.
