Blooomberg columnist Al Hunt critiqued Hillary’s campaign for president Tuesday, saying “I think there is a lot of worry in Hillaryland today.”
Hunt, appearing on “Morning Joe,” criticized the Benghazi investigation into Hillary saying, “I don’t take the congressional investigation very seriously. But I take the FBI very seriously. I take judge’s comments, I believe he was a Clinton appointee, I take that seriously.”
Mike Barnicle: There is one wildcard in this and we shouldn’t ignore the fact that Hillary Clinton is a strong, confident, determined, well-funded candidate for the presidency. The wildcard is the FBI and the Justice Department. Where is this going?
Mika Brzezinski: That’s for sure.
Barnicle: Where is this going?
Mark Halperin: And the congressional investigation, which is piggy-backing off what the FBI is doing. They have subpoena power, too.
Joe Scarborough: And the fact, Al Hunt. This is not a story that plateaus. This is a story that whether it’s in the New York Times or whether it’s Reuters or whether it’s another main stream respected media outlet. We find out more and more about these emails that come out and what were classified at the time and it’s as the FBI starts to dig in and you have federal judges demanding the State Department move more quickly. This is not a crisis, a political crisis that’s going to plateau any time soon for the Clintons.
Al Hunt: I think are you right, Joe. I slightly disagree with my friend Mark thought, I don’t take the congressional investigation very seriously. But I take the FBI very seriously. I take judge’s comments, I believe he was a Clinton appointee, I take that seriously. I don’t know where it will lead and going back to my earlier point about Joe or Biden, all I’m saying, you can’t get into a race thinking she is going to self-destruct. That might happen, but that can’t be your premise. But no, I think there is a lot of worry in Hillaryland today.
