Of course, if they had had me on I could have told them the same thing.

They have dug their heels in and they are out to smear Hillary Clinton and no amount of common sense reasoning will deter them from their mission. They want to attempt to weaken her as much as possible in case she runs in 2016. She is the one Democrat that outpolls all their candidates. It's an indication of their fear of her as a potential nominee that trolls like Rand Paul are bringing up Monica Lewinsky. How low can they get?

Great interview, particularly from Richard Clarke...the man who is the expert on all things counter-terrorism. Much Respect.
