News comes from Greenville, South Carolina of nefarious clown sightings. One or more jesters are lurking about the area. Stalking people, chasing people, creeping, trying to lure children into the woods – good wholesome fun.

Deputies in Greenville County said the clowns were initially seen in wooded areas, where they reportedly tried to encourage children to join them, but the situation escalated to reports that clowns were also knocking on the doors of homes.

Investigators said no conclusive photo or video evidence has surfaced and no suspects have been named in any of the incidents.

Nothing a bullet wouldn’t cure there.

In related news from Washington the clowning is a little more dire. The FBI has released its investigation documents from Hillary’s email escapades.

Clinton campaign spokesman Brian Fallon has said that turning over the documents was “an extraordinarily rare step that was sought solely by Republicans for the purposes of further second-guessing the career professionals at the FBI.” But he has said that if the documents were going to be shared outside the Justice Department, “they should be released widely so that the public can see them for themselves, rather than allow Republicans to mischaracterize them through selective, partisan leaks.”

It’s always someone else’s fault. Just because someone commits a crime and gets away with it, there’s always that jerk that wants to point out that you committed a crime.

FBI Director Jimmy “no intent” Comey.

There is a benefit here. Criminal defense attorneys are looking forward to gleaning for the FBI the details of the “Hillary Defense”. Meet every element of a crime? Just say that one element really isn’t. Case dismissed.

Personally I’m more comfortable with the S.C. lurkers. You?
