In light of sexual impropriety accusations, GOP leaders deserve credit for going against partisan interests, but not too much: Our view There is something truly remarkable about the insistence of Republican leaders that Roy Moore end his bid for a Senate seat from Alabama.

Before interviewing several witnesses? And before interviewing Secretary Clinton? Why in 2016 did James Comey and the Justice Department give Cheryl Mills, Secretary Clinton's Chief of Staff, an immunity agreement for turning over her laptop computer?

This year, the Connecticut Democrat, sounding even more desperate, tried political candor: "I wish it didn't feel like Groundhog Day - but one day it won't," Mr. Murphy insisted after the Las Vegas gun rampage left 58 dead and many more wounded last month. "There's no great social change movement in this country that didn't have failures before it had success," he said of his perennial proposal, perennially rejected, for tighter background checks on gun buyers.
