The hail that pelted metro Denver on Thursday night was so heavy that state transportation officials had to deploy a snowplow to clear Interstate 225.“It is not common for us to plow hail,” Colorado Department of Transportation shift lead Tanya Bowen said Friday morning, confirming that a plow worked I-225 as the storm raged until 9:39 p.m.“It was very bad at certain points,” she said.Some of the big orange trucks in CDOT’s fleet have snowplows attached through the summer.

Opinion: Why Clinton wasn’t indicted and Trump was. The Comey test.

That’s, of course, easy to say in the abstract, but perhaps a better way to frame it is that Trump’s status as a former president means that he should be treated no better and — crucially — no worse than ordinary American citizens.“No better” means that Trump should face charges if, for example, I would face charges under similar facts. It really is that straightforward.“No worse” means don’t stretch the law to indict the man. That may have been the case in March, when the Manhattan district attorney, Alvin Bragg, indicted Trump on charges related to hush-m...
