The Factor began Wednesday's show by welcoming Wall Street Journal columnist Bret Stephens, who assessed the severe rebuke delivered to Hillary Clinton by FBI Director James Comey. "In any normal political season this would destroy her candidacy," Stephens declared, "because the evidence that James Comey laid out shows that she has been telling untruths consistently for fifteen months. This ought to play into Trump's sweet spot, his view that the system is rigged, except that in a week when he should be gaining strength he's talking about Saddam Hussein being terrific in the war on terror." Stephens also accused James Comey of being less than principled, saying, "This was a purely political decision." The Factor concluded with a searing indictment of Hillary Clinton: "It is clear that Secretary Clinton attempted to mislead the public, it is beyond a reasonable doubt that this woman is a deceiver, and it will be harder for people to pull the lever for her."
