I’ll bet the media was lead to believe that President Trump was in trouble with this issue.
They were salivating and now, they are stuck with the real facts of just who was involved.
The fall back defense: they didn’t know about the girls, they were lied to, they have mental problems. Which defense will Bill Clinton, John Kerry, Charles Schumer use?
That's my take as well. Now they're trying to create some news out of whole cloth. I don't see much of an effort to protect either of the Clintons except by tactful silence but having piqued the public's interest with a particularly sordid scandal it's going to be impossible to spike the story altogether.
