I'm currently reading her Hard Choices and as competent, intelligent as yes 'likeable' she comes across in her own words its obvious why the GOP would rather run against her on manufactured scandals-why is it never mentioned in the media the source of all these FOIA cases in court about her emails is Citizens United, Judicial Watch, and other Right wing legal groups?
So they attack her on issue free stuff about emails or whether or not Joe Biden is going to run

The media for its own pathological reasons wants to help the GOP to give us another Bush.
At least today Hillary called out Chuck Todd on his own incessant scandal mongering. Like in her interview with Andrea Mitchell, Todd wanted to talk emails, emails, emails.

Of course, Hillary hating Politico has to describe her as 'frustrated' but I'm actually glad she called Chuck Todd on this.
And emailgate is right out of the Whitewater playbook which is obvious.
After a series of questions about her emails from NBC host Chuck Todd, including a new charge that a recently released email exchange with former CIA Director retired Gen. David Petraeus occurred earlier than she acknowledged using her personal account, an exasperated-sounding Clinton asked Todd whether his next question would be about “another conspiracy theory.”
She rejected the notion that her decision to use a personal email server as secretary of state was meant to evade public records searches, noting that congressional investigators unearthed many of her emails before she released them because they were obtainable through public systems. She acknowledged, however, the “drip, drip, drip” of accusations leveled at her, but couldn’t guarantee when they would stop.
“There’s only so much I can control,” she said, characterizing her responses as entailing “more transparency and more information than anybody I’m aware of that’s ever served in the government.”

You certainly have to say she's been transparent and you could argue to a fault.
http://lastmenandovermen.blogspot.com/2015/08/ok-heres-what-hillary-should-have-said.html
She's been a heck of a lot more transparent than Jeb who actually broke Florida law in not releasing his private emails while Governor of Florida for 7 years-until he decided to run-and she has been a lot more transparent than the other Secretary of States who also were asked to hand in their relevant private emails-Colin Powell. Condeleeza Rice, and Madeline Albright.
But I'm all for her calling out that stuffed phony Todd right to this smug, Beltway face.
Bill Clinton was on Fareed Zakaria today and also talked about the phony email controversy-the Citizen's United controversy.
"In an interview with CNN’s Fareed Zakaria to be aired Sunday, Clinton said of the former first lady and Secretary of State, “The other party doesn’t want to run against her. And if they do, they’d like her as mangled up as possible.”
"He likened the controversy over Hillary’s Clinton’s State Department emails to the Whitewater scandal that dogged his own campaign in 1992, in an anecdote about how George H.W. Bush officials contacted him saying, “The press has to have someone every election. We’re going to give them you. You better not run.”

Bill Clinton also extended fault to other groups, but was hesitant to give specifics. “There are lots of people who wanted there to be a race for different reasons,” he said.
He did, however, attribute some blame to the press, stating that before the race, Hillary Clinton “was the most admired person in public life. Why? Because she was being covered by people who reported on what she was doing.”
“What happened?” he added. “The presidential campaign happened. And the nature of the coverage shifted from issue-based to political.”
"He emphasized his wife’s successes and focus on policy issues, saying, “She’s already put out more positions on more issues and said how she would pay for it than, I think, than all the other [Republicans] combined.”

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Despite his very clear flaws as a human being and husband as a philanderer, he was not just a great President but is a very good and caring husband as well.
Erica Jong during Lewinskygate pointed out that Clinton was still a much better man than his Republican accusers-who thanks to Larry Flynt we learned that not one of them was anything near being 'free of sin' themselves.
And ironically the Right wing claim that they don't really love each other they are just both together for convenience gets it totally wrong.
What makes the Clintons' marriage actually in a sense very romantic and moving is that unlike so many marriages that begins and then ends with sexual infatuation their shared ideals actually has given them a much deeper bond.
I maintain that the Clintons are a great American love story. That 2012 Convention night when he spoke for President Obama was a real moment of what Camille Paglia calls the 'family romance'-even though for whatever reason Paglia insists on being an inveterate Clinton basher.
But that's Paglia for you: she is usually wrong on the particulars but right in the bigger picture.

To be sure family romance goes back to Freud but she makes good use of it.

The media for its own pathological reasons wants to help the GOP to give us another Bush.
At least today Hillary called out Chuck Todd on his own incessant scandal mongering. Like in her interview with Andrea Mitchell, Todd wanted to talk emails, emails, emails.
A seemingly frustrated Hillary Clinton strove on Sunday to link the latest flap over her personal email server with the string of scandals and attacks Republicans raised against her in the 1990s.
“During the ’90s, I was subjected to the same kind of barrage,” she said on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” noting that voters elected her a senator in New York despite the attacks.
