The question of the moment — if you’re Hillary Rodham Clinton — is this: Do the recently uncovered e-mails contain damaging information or are they, well, harmless?<\/p>\n

Clinton doesn’t know what FBI Director James Comey has uncovered.<\/p>\n

Neither do the rest of us. Not me, or you, or Donald J. Trump — Clinton’s opponent in this race for the presidency of the United States.<\/p>\n

That, of course, hasn’t stopped Trump from asserting — without a shred of proof, Clinton has committed a crime while using her personal e-mail server while she was secretary of state.<\/p>\n

Comey, though, has fed the rumor-mongers among us to pre-suppose and pre-judge what’s in those supposedly “missing” e-mail messages.<\/p>\n

And that brings me to the point I’ve made already, but which needs to be made once more.<\/p>\n

Comey needs to release the details of those e-mails immediately — if not sooner.<\/p>\n

Moreover, it now becomes apparent that U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch — Comey’s boss — said the FBI director’s decision to announce some mysterious findings are not in keeping with Justice Department policy.<\/p>\n

This e-mail\u00a0controversy — and it is not a “scandal” — has become (and pardon the sanitized version of this term) a big-league cluster-fudge.<\/p>\n

It is of James Comey’s making. He needs to clean it up.<\/p>\n\n
