TAMAR RICE SHOOTING
‘Reasonable’: His family disagrees, but that’s the word that sums up a pair of new reports on the fatal police shooting of 12-year-old Tamir Rice of Cleveland.

Rice’s family was outraged, accusing the prosecutor’s office of trying to “whitewash” the case.

No group has claimed responsibility for the bombings — though ISIS is the No. 1 suspect — which come at a politically sensitive time for the nation, which has national election in just three weeks.

That’s music to the ears of Clinton’s campaign, which promptly told anyone who’d listen that the probe is a “partisan sham.” The committee flatly denied those allegations and accused the staffer of harboring his own bias against members of the Obama administration.
