Jane Sanders to FBI: Can you speed up the Hillary probe, please?

Finally, a point of consensus between progressives and conservatives. Jane Sanders, whose husband Bernie has provided a surprising obstacle to Hillary Clinton’s campaign to win the Democratic Party’s nomination for president, told Neil Cavuto yesterday that she and her husband want to refrain from “politicizing” the FBI’s probe into Hillary’s secret e-mail server.

It’s far from certain that Hillary’s allies will abandon her over a mere indictment; they may not even abandon her bid if the case goes to trial. Even if they do, it’s doubtful that they will throw in behind a 73-year-old socialist who until last spring refused to identify himself with the Democratic Party. No, the one person who will benefit from this would be …
