With a new administration, the option of a Federal Law Enforcement investigation and an actual federal indictment and prosecution exists. In the case of an indictment and trial in the courts, the media couldn't spin anything other than public perception, which would have no bearing at all on the verdict rendered by a federal court.
If Clinton were actually indicted, the media could spin all they wanted without affecting the outcome of the process. If the current DoJ isn't pursuing this, then something is wrong. What is apparently wrong is that the current administration is simply concerned with the outcome of the next election they have to face, rather than the duty they are obligated to fulfill after having been sworn into office.
Have you considered that? Having a President and AG shirk their duty because they might lose their positions in the next election as a result of their adherence to their oaths of office is unacceptable to me.
Hillary couldn't win an election for dogcatcher if her complicity in Bill's crimes were revealed in court. Letting the Clintons slide is risking having them regain the White House, or having Hillary build a long term career in the Senate. Any republican in office should be willing to scrifice his own career to thwart that.
