The scandal did not fail at all. The MSM is simply in a massive circle-jerk.
And add to the Project Veritas, and the National Enquirer article...
If Hillary has to have Elizabeth Warren out rallying "Nasty Women for Hillary" they are not just scraping the bottom of the barrel; they're using a trowel to dig in the dirt *beneath* the barrel as well.
I am on twitter, and there are Wikileaks links showing up in my feed. And I do read articles about the emails, and the news I watch (FOX) at least does some coverage of the scandal. I may not know every tiny detail about the world, but I am not ignorant of this. But for most people who simply watch the nightly TV news programs, this might as well be a memory hole.
