Scandal du Jour and Clinton Derangement syndrome

The House Oversight Committee  is now demanding the FBI investigate if Hillary lied about knowingly sending or receiving classified e-mails on her private server while she was Secretary of State.   It seems that out of a total of 50,000 e-mails, there may have been 3 or 4 which had a C for classified embedded somewhere in the text.  As Kevin Drum at Mother Jones put it, this makes the Republican investigation of the Clinton's Christmas card list in 1998 look like a well considered act.  There seems to be no limit to republican outrage that they can't seem to get Hillary indicted for something/anything.  But meanwhile, the slow accretion of innuendo, association and actual slander continues to take its toll on her poll numbers.  While it seems the Clintons are the main targets of republican attacks, I think no matter who democrats nominated that nominee would face a barrage of spurious allegations.  To republicans, all democratic presidential candidates are illegitimate!
