Leave it to the FBI to wait until the Friday before Labor Day to release a report that makes it look so bad. What other impression can one take away from the bureau's new report on its investigation of Hillary Clinton's emails, which will fuel doubts about FBI director James Comey's recommendation that she not be prosecuted for mishandling classified information?
Perhaps the most important detail it spells out is the timeline of Clinton's email deletions. The information strongly suggests that team Clinton deliberately destroyed evidence and committed obstruction of justice.

Equally damning is the picture that the FBI's report paints of Clinton's confessedly oblivious service as secretary of state. The charitable way to interpret the answers she gave the FBI in July is to say she went through her time at State without understanding the most basic aspects of her job. Her answers about securing classified information are so befuddled that they read like the moment one decides granny shouldn't have the car keys anymore.

It's pertinent to ask whether Clinton was just playing dumb during her FBI interview, given that she was potentially facing criminal charges. But maybe she really was that badly out of her league in the job to which President Obama appointed her. And now she is asking voters for promotion even higher?
Explaining Clinton's interview with the FBI as being the result of grotesque incompetence is no more reassuring than explaining it as the result of fathomless dishonesty. Maybe the distinction between the two is not the important issue. Maybe the real question is why Democrats nominated someone for president who is so manifestly unfit for the job.
