GET USED TO THIS – AT 12:30 P.M. ET:   She'll probably be president, so we should get used to the Hillary Clinton style.  The scandal doctor is in.  From London's Daily Mail: 

A stone-faced Hillary Clinton refused to comment on an email a top aide sent calling a Clinton Foundation quid pro quo a 'mess' of the former secretary of state's own making.

'I have nothing to say about Wikileaks, other than I think we should all be concerned about what the Russians are trying to do to our election and using Wikileaks very blatantly to try to influence the outcome of the election,' Clinton said on Saturday.

Didn't Clinton try a "reset" with these same Russkies when she was secretary of state?  How did that work out?

The Democratic nominee was responding to a question posed by DailyMail.com during a media availability with reporters riding on her campaign plane.

Hacked emails revealed an internal disagreement among Clinton's aides about her desire to hold a conference in Marrakech, Morocco.

The country's king made a $12 million pledge to fund the Clinton Global Initiative conference - but only if the the likely presidential candidate attended.

Top confidante Huma Abedin bluntly wrote in a January 2015 email that 'if HRC was not part of it, meeting was a non-starter.'

Then she warned: 'She created this mess and she knows it.'

It was an uncharacteristic remark from Abedin, who is known for her abiding loyalty to Clinton over the years.

COMMENT:  The press gave Obama a pass on almost everything.  The result is an egotistical president who really believes he's transformed the nation.  All he's left is a train wreck.

Will Clinton get the same kid-glove treatment?  Or will the press wise up?  My optimism is under control.
