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. However, neither of them would mind if James Comey and the Department of Justice picked up the pace a bit on their decision, either:

The FBI clearly wants to move cautiously, considering how much is as much at stake politically in this probe, but it’s getting to the fish-or-cut-bait point now, if it’s not here already.
However, if Jane Sanders thinks that an indictment will benefit The Bern, she might be in for a rude shock. 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.
