They May Have Enough to Hang Clinton

Their tawdry little email scandal is embarrassing relative to the great scandals of the modern age but there may well be the potential for a kill shot in it.  That Clinton conducted state business on a personal email account is bad form but Angela Merkel did the same thing on a mobile phone and no-one is calling for a witch burning over that.

The problem in the personal account isn't the state business but anything else she assumed would remain private.  And that's the kill shot as she won't be able to exempt anything on that account from public review.  They will dog her until she dies to get every email in that account or accuse her of sedition in the ones she holds back.

Once the GOP gets its grubby hands on her personal business, she will be hanging from a tree.  Even if there's nothing particularly damning in there, Fox News can turn it into the most hideous transgression against humanity since Billy Boy and his Magic Cigars.

I can't say I'm overjoyed that a campaign should be demolished in this way but it's typical of the political process that never ever has anything to do with any real issue.
