(92,372 posts)if you don't think that this has to be handled immediately by the campaign, then I suggest you are being naive

You really, really, really, really need to calm down.

(92,372 posts)right wing wacko is been presented all over the media spewing their bullshit, and of course the media is using the Chuck Todd method of journalism, "it isn't the job of the media to correct any falsehoods."

(52,307 posts)as long as it's emails, emails, email it's not going to change much at this point.
unless they're able to find an excuse to start repeating indictment, indictment, indictment, it's not going to affect much.
remember, hillary being investigated is not news, especially with uncertain or unclear results.

(52,307 posts)the logic is, if you really think Hillary's chances are damaged after this, i.e., less than 90%, then you can go make some money on it by betting on trump and selling tomorrow, say, and profit as his chances go from 10% to 15% or whatever.
the fact that the markets aren't moving means that people don't think there's profit to be made on such a bet.
