I wrote about her more than once last week as she's a new target for Trey Gowdy and friends in Congress.

The GOP operative Ed Rogers had a lacerating attack on Correct the Record on Sunday which is understandable as the last thing he wants is for the record to be corrected.
"Nixonian Clinton strikes again."
"Hillary Clinton had another week where some of her various lies seemed to be uncovered, including a substantial revelation about how “directly involved” she was with senior aide Huma Abedin’s unusual employment status within the State Department. But Team Hillary doesn’t just lie about the big things. It appears the campaign can’t even resist skirting the rules about her super PAC coordinating with the campaign. It may seem trivial, but over the weekend, Clinton campaign spokeswoman Karen Finney and Correct the Record head Brad Woodhouse both tweeted out the exact same inane tweet — within 20 minutes of each other — about Clinton’s “Meet the Press” appearance. While the Federal Election Commission has yet to release a verdict on whether or not this kind of coordination actually violates the “Internet exemption” and is therefore illegal, it “certainly violates the law’s spirit.”
"And why would they even have to break this rule? It’s not as though without guidance from the Clinton campaign, her super PAC would have suddenly announced that there are plenty of unanswered questions and many more shoes to drop in the various Clinton scandals. The Clintons are proving they don’t think anything is too small to lie about and that no rule that should be left unbroken. If there is a way to get around the prohibition on campaigns and super PACs coordinating, leave it to the Clintons to show us the way"

It's rich that Rogers is critical of super PACS as they are the creature of Citizen's United-which is the group behind the whole phony email story.
I't also striking to me how similar this line of attack on her is to what they said about Gore in 2000. The idea that she lies for no reason was what they said about Gore.
So while he's shocked to hear both Clinton's campaign manager and CTR praise Hillary's Meet the Press interview I find it much more interesting that the attacks on Hillary are pretty much verbatim what they said about Gore.
If Hillary lies about trivial things that don't matter that's better than Carly Fiorina who lies about things that matter a lot. In fact the new knock on her is that she has even downsized the devil as Father of Lies.
Now she is the reigning Mother of Lies.

Meanwhile Hillary didn't lie about Huma Abedin-the media has lied-or more to the point rehashed Trey Gowdy's lies uncritically.
Here is Correct the Record here. No wonder Rogers is trying to muzzle it.
"Are you curious why, according to FiveThirtyEight, the Clinton campaign has endured roughly three months of relentlessly hostile news coverage? Well, a major contributing factor is that new outlets have shown an alarming predilection for regurgitating misleading anti-Clinton leaks that have come from right-wing organizations. Once these leaks are proven wrong, the outlets have been slow to correct their original stories, or sometimes even flat-out refused to do so."
"There are plenty of radical sources who are willing to peddle misinformation to the media. The problem begins when those lies make it into print unquestioned—as they have time and time again. Consider the most recent example below, where an utter falsehood about Hillary Clinton and Huma Abedin ran as a standalone story in both the New York Timesand Politico."
"FIRST, THE MEDIA PRINTS A FACT THAT SOUNDS LIKE A RIGHT-WING LIE"
"AND MAKES A BIG SHOW OF “CATCHING” A “FALSEHOOD”:
"THEN, THE ACTUAL FACTS COME OUT"
"The Clinton Campaign noted that the document was only approval of the title change related to Abedin’s transition. “The Clinton Campaign argued Thursday that the document wasn’t the actual approval of the SGE status but only approved the title change that came with Abedin’s transition. The document states that the position was ‘new’ and an SGE job: ‘The incumbent serves as a Senior Adviser, Expert-Special Government Employee.’ Huma Abedin’s lawyers have maintained that she did nothing wrong, noting that government workers have moved to SGE status before.”

Of course, in the mind of the Hillary haters, the fact that she did nothing wrong shows she 'cuts corners' somehow if you accuse her of breaking the law and then she shows this that's somehow proof that she's like Nixon who did break the law.

"Again with Nixon. Here we are over 40 years later and Nixon is still an open would for the GOP. They have always wanted to destroy the Clintons to avenge Nixon."
"And why would they even have to break this rule?

The logic of Hillary hatred. The less sense it makes the more compelling they find it.
