The only damage that this situation will do is political -- over and above whatever money damages Peter Paul can collect from the case itself, but that won't dent the Clintons' bankroll. The optimistic side is that Clinton (her) is up against a negative view by nearly half of the population, per the recent polls.
The events in this instance may be enough to push her over the tipping point that she cannot now, and cannot ever, be elected President. It is as if it takes not just one Chappaquiddick, but a series of them, to bury finally and for all time the ambitions of the Clintons, just like the original Chappaquiddick buried the presidential ambitions of Ted Kennedy.
Let's hope that is the outcome.

Thanks. Too bad, really. But perhaps good enough. I can see Hillary winning the national election as Dick Morris would argue. I just can’t see BO or Silky Pony winning.
But, I say that not yet knowing who the GOPers will nominate. Who knows how bad they’ll screw up.
John, in January of 2006, she had her treasurer file a fourth false report after being fined by the FEC and told to report correctly. No statute of limitations there. I know the candidate doesn’t do the report, but she certainly knew the facts at that point and let him file a false one.
Whether this can be proved is another matter, but in her lying declaration, she claims to know nothing of her husband’s plan to work for Stan Lee Media. Of course, Chelsea is going to commit perjury because it is genetic, but Chelsea said before witnesses at Streisand’s the next day that they stayed up late playing Scrabble and discussing how exciting it was for daddy to be going to work for the creator of Spider Man.
