Really,,,?? The MSM asks the harder questions?
Since when? At the point that Democrat Party realists come to believe that trying for a second term may cost the Democrats the election, much as four years of Jimmy Carter gave us eight years of Ronald Reagan plus four years of George Bush.
And, when that point is reached, a Democratic Obama alternative would have to be advanced. And Hillary still has her supporters, particularly among the New York-and Washington based national media where she served as New York's US Senator.
Except that Hillary is in this, too, up to her neck. She was the most visible proponent of the propaganda meme that started it all, put in place during the President of Mexico's visit to the Obama White House, that all that dreadful Mexican gun violence was the fault of American arms dealers, and that most guns owned by the cartels came from the U.S. Which was a flat out lie. But she said it again and again on the major networks, and the media helped spread it everywhere. So if Obama were forced out by this scandal, then Hillary would be vulnerable to replaying those videos.
