What fascinates me about these things is not the scandal itself, but the hubris that makes a politician with big skeletons in his/her closet think that s/he can run for president and it will never come out.

I cannot understand that either. I am relatively decent person, but I have some situations that if a reporter reported it in a certain way it would not be good. (Mostly some crazy drinking) But even with everything seemingly innocent, I would never run for President even if the position was 1 trillion dollars a year. It is not worth it at all IMHO.
I was thinking exactly the same thing. The arrogance of many politicians who seek public officer astounds me, when they get caught over something so easily discovered. I guess narcissism causes irrational thinking and permanent brain damage, when it comes to reflecting on the course of ones life up to that point, that prevents them from asking themselves the big question, “Can my past truly stand up to the relentless scrutiny of the American media and the American public?”
Few people can answer “yes” to this question.
