The press will just eventually drop the story from their repertoire. Maybe we have another Summer of the Shark or something. Allowing the story to exist is a problem for the press. See what Giuliani did with it? Holy cow, "I'd prosecute the case, and I'd win." The press does not want to argue this case, and Hillary is making things worse with her fabricated evidence and twisting of public evidence, that public evidence being Comey's statements.
For sure you have the MO of the press. If it doesn’t help their candidate they drop it and pretend the issues does not exist.
