E Minus 3: The latest pitch of the Trump campaign and Republicans is that if they lose the presidential election, they’re going to tie Hillary Clinton in legal knots, causing a potential Constitutional crisis.

“She’s likely to be under investigation for a long time, concluding in a criminal trial, our president,” Trump said in New Hampshire. “America deserves a government that can go to work on Day 1.”

Trump front man Rudolph Giuliani told a crowd in Iowa this week, “I guarantee you in one year she’ll be impeached and indicted.” He said, “It’s just going to happen. We’re going to sort of vote for a Watergate.”

A NY Times editorial said, “In effect, what they’re saying is, Mrs. Clinton won’t be able to govern, because we won’t let her. So don’t waste your vote on her. Vote for us.”

With the polls tightening the Clinton campaign is flooding the field with representatives. They have 15 events scheduled today, including appearances by rockers Jon Bon Jovi, Katy Perry, and Stevie Wonder, former President Bill Clinton, Chelsea, and Bernie Sanders. The candidate herself is appearing in Florida, a state critical to winning.

Trump is going it alone today with events in Florida, North Carolina, Nevada, and Colorado, the last scheduled in Denver for 9:30 pm. The man is inexhaustable.

Econ 101: The last pre-election jobs report says 161,000 jobs were added to the economy in October, indicating that the economy looks healthy. The unemployment rate dropped one tick to 4.9 percent.

The Trump campaign spun it as bad news. Policy director Stephen Miller said in a statement, “Nearly half a million people left the workforce last month, a painful and massive decline. Over 14 million have left the workforce since Obama came into office, bringing the total not working to 94 million.”

The number of people “not in the work force” is a deceptive number. The vast majority of them are people not working by choice, either retired or stay-at-home parents. The number of people who can’t get a job or as much work as they would like is about 15 million.

Pay Toll: A federal jury yesterday convicted two former aides to New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie of conspiracy and wire fraud in the 2013 lane closings on the George Washington Bridge. They were accused of causing massive traffic jams to punish the mayor of Ft. Lee for refusing to endorse Christie for re-election.

Bridget Anne Kelly and Bill Baroni could be sent to prison for up to three years under federal sentencing guidelines. Both defendants testified that they had been duped into believing the lane closings were part of a legitimate traffic study, despite pleas from the mayor of gridlocked Ft. Lee during the five-day incident. Both also testified that Gov. Christie, the former presidential hopeful, had been informed about the lane closures.

First, Get it Right: Rolling Stone magazine was found liable yesterday by a federal jury in a defamation suit involving the controversial 2014 article “A Rape on Campus,” about what was described as a gang rape at a University of Virginia fraternity party. The suit was brought by Nicole P. Eramo, a former associate dean of students who was presented in the article as the indifferent face of the university administration.

Both the magazine, and the article’s author, Sabrina Rubin Erdely, were found liable. Could be expensive. Eramo sued for $7.5 million.

The article depended on an anonymous complainant identified as “Jackie.” Police investigators later were unable to find any evidence that the incident happened.

Fake News: An ABC News producer is in trouble for dressing up a crime scene for dramatic effect. Correspondent Linsey Davis was reporting live about a 30-year-old woman who’d been found chained in a storage container and used as a sex slave. Davis’s producer put up yellow crime scene tape as a backdrop. It was tied to light stands and had nothing to do with the actual crime scene.

And they wonder why no one trusts the press.
