Conservatives are unwilling to let Hillary be Hillary where transparency is concerned, and “it drives them crazy,” believes Kevin Drum. In a post last Wednesday, Drum argued that whenever the right has “forced…openness on Clinton in an effort to destroy her,” it’s “done nothing except paint a portrait of a pretty normal politician,” a failure that’s left those conservatives with “bizarre levels” of “Clinton Derangement Syndrome.”

On Monday's GMA, ABC's George Stephanopoulos hounded Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway on James Conway announcing that the FBI would not change its findings on the Hillary Clinton e-mail scandal. The Clinton Foundation donor wondered, "Do you accept [Comey's] finding now?" Stephanopoulos also played up that Comey "said that no reasonable prosecutor would bring the case, and the investigation is closed now." By contrast the anchor tossed softballs at Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook: "You've also seen a real surge in the Latino vote in Florida; and...Nevada. Have they delivered those states to Hillary?"

On Monday's New Day, during a segment with Wisconsin Republican Rep. Sean Duffy, CNN anchor Chris Cuomo made his latest claim that FBI Director James Comey found that Hillary Clinton did not commit a crime in her handling of her State Department work email, even though the FBI director merely declined to recommend trying to prosecute her without directly stating his view on whether she committed a crime. Cuomo: "There's no question that the email thing was wrong. It was unusual for Comey to say 'extremely careless.' The FBI doesn't usually talk that way, but certainly he echoed the way a lot of people feel. I'm not asking about that. I'm saying, Comey says there's no crime."
As much of the segment was devoted to Cuomo charging that GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump is overstating the criminal case against Clinton, Rep. Duffy at one point jabbed the CNN host as being biased in favor of Clinton. Duffy: "Hey, Chris, if I'm going to be a little surly with you this morning, I would say, 'Hey, Chris, you're supporting someone.' But I won't go that far. Or the Democrats are supporting someone."

If you believe the Obama administration, the Hillary Clinton campaign and their apparatchiks in the press — and as we've learned during the past several weeks, all three work assiduously to sing from the same hymnal — the economy we've seen during the presidency of Barack Obama has been one of slow but still acceptable recovery and (yes, this word has been frequently used) "durable" expansion.
Now that the final key pre-election economic reports have been released and predictably spun, it's time for a final word, and it is this: Incredible as it may seem, on one key economic growth metric, the economy during the Obama administration will, by the time it leaves office, end up turning in a worse performance than was seen during the Great Depression. That's not acceptable in any sense.

With credit to my colleague Brent Baker for spotting this classic case of Andrea Mitchell flashing her liberal bias, the MSNBC host and NBC News correspondent could barely contain her excitement for a Sunday night Hillary Clinton rally that she described as being both “extraordinary” and “magical.”

The journalists at CBS This Morning on Monday preemptively demanded to know if Donald Trump will be a “graceful” and “gracious” loser after Tuesday’s voting. Charlie Rose, Norah O’Donnell and Gayle King grilled the businessman’s campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway. In contrast, Hillary Clinton’s top operative received more questions on the state of the race. Talking to Conway, Rose scolded, “If, in fact, you don't win and Hillary Clinton wins, can we expect Donald Trump to be a graceful loser who will say, ‘This is America and I want to wish Hillary Clinton the best and offer my support to her as president'?"
