Today the Supreme Court will consider whether attending and arranging meetings for generous benefactors amounts to criminal political corruption<http://www.wsj.com/articles/politics-is-not-a-crime-1461712254>. The case involves former Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell, who took $170,000 in gifts from a Richmond businessman.A Journal editorial notes<http://www.wsj.com/articles/politics-is-not-a-crime-1461712254>, "The legal problem is that Mr. McDonnell never provided much of any quo for the quid." The editorial board adds<http://www.wsj.com/articles/politics-is-not-a-crime-1461712254>, "If arranging a meeting for a benefactor qualifies as corruption, prosecutors will be able to target any politician<http://www.wsj.com/articles/politics-is-not-a-crime-1461712254> in the country. Such as Hillary Clinton."

Now here's something that really should be criminal. A separate editorial notes<http://www.wsj.com/articles/youve-got-mail-and-uncle-sam-read-it-1461712572> that because of a loophole in a 1986 law, the IRS and other agencies have been able to examine Americans' email without search warrants<http://www.wsj.com/articles/youve-got-mail-and-uncle-sam-read-it-1461712572>. The editorial board writes that under the law "any federal bureaucrat using a mere administrative subpoena" can read email "that has been opened or is older than 180 days." In 2010 a federal appeals court sought to limit this abuse but the IRS has largely ignored it.<http://www.wsj.com/articles/youve-got-mail-and-uncle-sam-read-it-1461712572>

"The bids to buy Yahoo's operating business, rumored to be between $4 billion and $8 billion, are in-and my guess is that they are all high," writes Andy Kessler<http://www.wsj.com/articles/buying-yahoo-without-coming-off-as-one-1461711111>. "In the tech world, if you're not growing, you're dying."

"As expected, Volkswagen's scandal over emissions cheating is spreading to other car makers," writes our columnist Holman Jenkins<http://www.wsj.com/articles/the-auto-emissions-crackup-1461711346>. "Porsche, Audi, Mercedes and GM's Opel division in Germany are recalling cars for failing emissions tests<http://www.wsj.com/articles/the-auto-emissions-crackup-1461711346>. In France, Renault and Peugeot have been raided by police<http://www.wsj.com/articles/the-auto-emissions-crackup-1461711346>. Japan's Mitsubishi admitted on Tuesday that it had been fudging mileage data for 25 years, putting the company's survival in doubt." Mr. Jenkins adds<http://www.wsj.com/articles/the-auto-emissions-crackup-1461711346>, "In an honest world the scandal would now spread to the agencies and politicians that conspire to set implausible rules and then help create ways around them for industries that employ millions of their voters and whose products are of vital daily purpose to virtually everyone in their societies<http://www.wsj.com/articles/the-auto-emissions-crackup-1461711346>."

Also today, Jayson Lusk debunks the "romantic traditionalism"<http://www.wsj.com/articles/can-i-get-that-with-extra-gmo-1461710531> behind opposition to genetically-modified foods. "The truth is that what we eat today differs radically from the food eaten even a few hundred years ago<http://www.wsj.com/articles/can-i-get-that-with-extra-gmo-1461710531>. Carrots used to be purple. Random mutations and selective breeding led to their signature color during the 16th century in the Netherlands, where it later was claimed the new varieties honored the King William of Orange. Broccoli, kale, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts all emerged from the same wild plant. Potatoes and tomatoes originated in the Americas and were never eaten in Europe and Asia until after the New World was discovered. Today we eat more and better than ever, precisely because we did not accept only what nature provided," writes Mr. Lusk<http://www.wsj.com/articles/can-i-get-that-with-extra-gmo-1461710531>.

After Donald Trump's big wins on Tuesday, a Journal editorial notes <http://www.wsj.com/articles/trumps-eastern-sweep-1461724752> that his advisers "are promising a new, more disciplined Donald Trump, and on Tuesday night he tried to stay mostly positive and stressed the need for economic revival. His gambling voters had better hope it lasts<http://www.wsj.com/articles/trumps-eastern-sweep-1461724752>."

"After long months of rage-mongering, the politics of gloom and the images of a broken America conjured by both Mr. Sanders and Mr. Trump, Mrs. Clinton looks, by comparison, like a model of hope and shining optimism," writes Dorothy Rabinowitz<http://www.wsj.com/articles/hillarys-debt-to-sanders-and-trump-1461710649>.
