Its amazing that this book will even see the light of day or that its author would write it in the first place. They must think there is a net positive for Hillary in there somewhere?
They have to get all the 'flotsam' out there. . .and think that is what Bernstein is doing. If it rises to the top; they can deal with it; if it rises and they cannot make it go away; they will have a 'plan B' to take care of it.
And of course, Hillary can respond. . .that is old news and even older rumors spread by VRWC.
But whatever the case; Hillary has to test the waters; because she believes she can walk on it.
