When the FBI announced in October 2016 that it was reviewing new emails related to its investigation into Hillary Clintons use of a private server as secretary of state, it gave Donald Trump a priceless gift. Not because, as it turned out, Clinton had deliberately mishandled classified information or was about to be charged with a crime, but because it gave the impression of impropriety, which the reality-TV host rode all the way to the White House. Unfortunately for Trump, whose polling couldnt be worse, we are living in the year 2020 and he is running against Joe Biden, not Hillary Clinton. These are the sort of simple questions a doctor might ask a patient to assess whether theyve suffered a traumatic brain injury, yet, weirdly, it appears that neither the president nor his employees know the correct answers.

Speaking to Fox News on Friday, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told Dana Perino, Weve got the emails. Were getting them out. Were gonna get all this information out so the American people can see it. Youll remember there was classified information on a private server, should have never been there. Hillary Clinton should never have done that. It was unacceptable behavior. Its not the kind of thing that leaders do.... Classified information needs to stay on the right places. Secretary Clinton, when she was here at the State Department, did not do that.... Well get the information out that needs to get outas fast as we can. I certainly think therell be more to see before the election.

The news that the federal government is working on releasing Clintons emails as fast as it can, as though there are no other pressing issues to deal with, comes one day after Trump called in to Fox Business to rant about the fact that his former opponent hasnt been indicted (which may have something to do with the fact that she was cleared of wrongdoing), saying that he was not happy with Pompeo for failing to get her emails out to the public. (He also complained that his attorney general hasnt indicted Biden and Barack Obama, saying that Bill Barr will go down in history as a very sad, sad situation if he fails to prosecute the presidents enemies.)

In a sign of how utterly bizarre it is that Trump is screaming about Clintons emails and thinks releasing them might help his reelection chances, even some of the gang at Fox Business have wondered why he thinks voters care about any of this. President Trump didnt follow what theWall Street Journalwas saying in terms of staying on policy, anchor Dagen McDowell said following the interview with Maria Bartiromo. I am not sure it helped his campaign to talk about Hillary Clintons emails and going back down that rabbit hole like it was four years ago.... It was kind of, well, all over the place. It didnt really focus on the very issues of what the American people want to hear. Some of it did, but some of it clearly did not.

Anyway, its not clear what the president plans to do with his time should he lose in November and actually vacate the White House, but if he does and those close to him finally get him the help he needs, the odds are pretty high hell still regularly be calling in to Fox in 2024 claiming hes got classified information about Clinton thats going to shock voters like you wouldnt believe. Then hell whisper, I gotta go, theyre here while an orderlys key turns in the lock, adding, The DOJ doesnt want you to know this because its part of the deep state, but her husband had an affair with an intern. Its all there in the documents. Then the phone will drop and well hear him yell Stay back! Keep your hands off of me! Presidential harassment!

And speaking of Trumps mental faculties

Nancy Pelosi is supporting a bill that would create a panel to assess if the president is a stark raving lunatic who should be removed from office:

Pelosi on Friday backed the creation of a congressionally appointed commission that would determine whether a president is capable of performing his duties, insisting that it wasnt specifically about President Trump while suggesting that his recent diagnosis was the motivation for it. Pelosi said Trumps coronavirus infection has raised questions about presidential succession, which is governed by the 25th Amendment to the Constitution. Trump spent last weekend at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, setting off a flurry of inquiries about whether Vice President [Mike] Pence would assume authority, even temporarily.
