Watch the news. Get a gander.
What's coming off the wire these days is all political related. That's the way it is when this country get's nearly two years away from a new president. If you research the trends of media during an administration where the president has a chance to be re-elected, you will find less hype over what is going on.
It happened with George Bush after Bill Clinton. It happened with President Obama after George Bush. It's happening again.
Had Hilary made a willful attempt to dethrone Obama after his first term, the problems that she would face would have been no where near as problematic as they are now. The media is trying to scrounge everything they can up.
The current scandal is one which has been covered up over and over again. Benghazi has been a thorn in a bed of roses for the Clinton campaign. She unfortunately timed her ride to the white house when the media is covering her every move. Checking her character to see what flaws she might show.
Her tactics to this point are pretty clear: Wait. By waiting she affords the media time to get the information correct and then let the world forget about it. The problem is also that she is waiting.
A congressional investigation is currently ongoing to find out where her emails were during the attacks, and furthermore why she didn't have an official account during this time.
Huge questions, and answers may not come quickly. It might be time for Hilary to start thinking about dumping the tank. Throwing her pot at a potential bid later down the road. Age isn't on her side though.
The real question is: if Hilary has nothing to hide, why not just dump everything out in front of congress now and give full explanations? Tell the truth and let the process unfold. That's not happening. So eventually congress WILL get the information it seeks. When this happens, it's going to take weeks if not months to search for data leading up to the attacks. What will be even more interesting is what else the government will find during this time.
Mrs. Clinton has made a mistake. I don't think she will recover from this one. The primary reason is that Hilary is riding a democratic wave into the white house. Most people are expecting a republican controlled congress to mess things up. This will play well in the elections, almost certainly allowing another democrat in office. However if the Republicans manage to gain leverage while in control, things won't be the same.
My guess is Hilary has an Ace of Spades and a two of diamonds in her pocket. If she doesn't play this carefully, her poker hand will be bust.
