People are now talking about the NYT story and how off base it appears to have been instead of Clinton's email issues. Clinton supporters will point to this story and use it to dismiss any further stories as the press just being "out to get her". You'll hear the phrase "already debunked" in reference to things that the NYT story doesn't even mention.

If there's anything to the email story, he NYT did Clinton a huge favor by being the little boy who cried wolf.
