The only way the Clinton's have maintained and expanded their empire is by playing a hardball inside -outside game sustained by Bills masterful outside graft and corruption game combined with Hillary's political clout in the Senate and Sec of State
They have used pure, raw political power to run rough shod over Washington and cover for their corruption
Hillary thought 2 billion bucks, her prospects of being President, and the Clinton political machine would be enough to offset their loss of Hillary's seat of governmental power
They were right on this, but they did not allow for Benghazi and the email server revelations
Its killing her and as soon as it becomes obvious Hillary will not be President the Clinton's will be torn apart by a the people who they have abused and run rough shod over for the last 20 years
your observation is spot on, but what Hillary got crossed up by was Repub's taking back congress so quickly. The brazen corruption by Hillary makes more sense when you consider that the Dem's all thought their hold on congress was going to last for a long while. Not only did Hillary's corruption really take off during the 2006 - 2010 era of invincibility, but the fear of losing to the GOP in 2012 is what drove Hillary's grossly stupid reaction to the Benghazi fiasco.
