Which is why someone like Schoen must really think this will finally be the one that takes the Clinton's down. He wouldn't be throwing away all his years as a Clinton insider and connections (the Clinton's are known for forgiving and forgetting) for just another flash in the pan scandal that will be forgotten in a month.

Clinton finally became too toxic for Doug Shoen’s business which is polling and selling political advice. He realizes she is going down and that he needs to put as much distance between himself and Her Royal Thighness as possible before she self-destructs.

He also likely knows that Huma Weiner is in big trouble and that she will roll on Hillary to get less prison time for herself.

Shoen is more afraid of what they can’t make “go away” than what the Clintons can do to him. He’s just reading the wind.

People here were fawning all over Schoen last Saturday. Rush got it right: He’s known these people are scum for 30 years. He’s just now bailing? F*** him. Between now and the election Dougie will be back on the reservation....

Another rat deserting a sinking ship.

Rush’s insight was that if Schoen, who has been perfectly comfortable working next to the Clinton sleaze for 30 years, feels the need to publicly announce he’s backing away, then this suggests that what’s going down with Hillary is HUGE.

If it’s enough that even an old-time ally like Schoen is moving away from them, it’s probably pretty major.
