This week may have been the worst week yet for the Hillary Clinton campaign.

Not only did a fresh batch of emails generate a fresh batch of scandal — potentially more damaging than the last — but two inconvenient decisions from federal judges also ensure even more potentially damning emails will be released in time for Election Day.

On Monday it was revealed that the FBI had discovered nearly 15,000 additional Clinton emails during its investigation.

There is also the looming threat of more dumps from WikiLeaks haunting the Clinton campaign — leaks that Julian Assange promised this week are coming soon.

And if torrents of damaging emails and the inevitable scandals they will create weren’t bad enough for the Clinton campaign, Clinton’s desperate attempt to smear Trump as a racist Thursday revealed a candidate bereft of solutions and desperate to avoid an honest discussion on the issues Trump has raised.

On Monday it was revealed that the FBI had discovered nearly 15,000 additional Clinton emails during its investigation which were never handed over by Clinton’s camp.

The emails were given to the State Department and a federal judge ordered on Monday that they must be made public by September 23, 2016. Hillary’s week went from bad to worse when a federal judge in Florida ruled Wednesday that those emails must be made public by September 13 instead.

This new flood of email scandal arrived the same week as The Associated Press story detailing the troubling links between Clinton Foundation donors and meetings with Clinton while she was at the State Department, a story the Clinton campaign has been attacking frantically — and unconvincingly.

Separate emails released this week revealed a foundation official requesting the State Department grant access to Clinton on behalf of a foundation donor.

Then, on Wednesday, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange promised Megyn Kelly that new, “significant” emails would “absolutely” be released by his site before the election. And of course, that is to say nothing of the looming congressional perjury investigation into Clinton.

In addition to a storm of bad news, Clinton also made transparent attempts to do everything possible to change the current political conversation — of which Trump is finally firmly in control.

Appearing on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” Monday, Clinton tried unconvincingly to paint legitimate concerns about her health as nothing more than wild conspiracy theories. The appearance came complete with a theatrical opening of an unsealed pickled jar, apparently intended to be sufficient proof of Clinton’s healthy constitution.

On Thursday, Clinton attempted to smear Trump as a racist, and in the process made indefensible, factually incorrect accusations about Nigel Farage, Steve Bannon, and the conservative media outlet where Bannon until recently worked.

Clinton’s performance made it clear that the tactic of crying racism to silence political opponents is no longer the preserve of students and left-wing media figures, and has now become official Democratic campaign strategy.

It became clear this week that for Clinton, the only option left is to run out the clock before Trump’s message on the issues and her scandals take her down.
