The MSM have switched sides on them though.
In the past they were protected, sometimes scandalously.
They would either sit on stories (who knows how much is on file and how long its sat there), or use their coverage mainly to attack accusers.
But now all this new stuff is coming through the NYT and its ilk.
I was shocked when the NY Slimes dared to publish anything that might even hint that the 'Beast might not be suitable. The media can be very fickle and shifts with the prevailing winds, though. If nominated, they will fall in line.
This far out it could be just a ploy to get it out, so that in the home stretch when the elction is on the line, Hillary can just say "that's old news". At any rate, I look for the klinton machine to crank up ans "silence" critics.
