robbie mook calling on the fbi to give donald trump the same treatment it gave to hillary clinton. all that we re asking, so that reporting can be fair, is that the information get released. release whatever information they have, and then if you re in the business of releasing information about investigations on presidential candidates, release everything you have on donald trump. release the information on his connections to the russians. maybe there are investigations now into his taxes. trump s taxes may not have been legal. reports of the maneuver trump used conferred enormous tax benefits on him losing vast amounts of other people s money by exploiting a loophole. today clinton sought to remind voters of trump s treatment of women. she appeared with alicia machado who trump shamed over two decades ago. even instructing his twitter celebrity, who wouldn t let you into one of his hotels unless you were cleaning the room, wouldn t let you on one of his golf courses unle ....
