WNU Editor: According to many polls .... 70% of Americans view Hillary Clinton and the word corruption as one of the same .... but it has not played on how they will vote as much as some thought that it would.

To personally go after the FBI Director may appeal to Hillary Clinton's base who believe that these new revelations are just a political tactic used to suppress her support, but to everyone else .... it is a direct attack on one of the top law enforcement officers in the country and a harbinger of what may happen during a Clinton Presidency. And while I still believe that most Americans have already made up their mind on who they will vote for in this election, if there was ever a tactic used to suppress a vote .... in this case Hillary Clinton's .... this cloud of corruption and the media's new focus on it will certainly do it.
