This is far from "scrutiny". This is their effort to downplay the whole thing. She "misstated the facts". She was "confused". "She didn't know how to use a computer". Etc.
The media knows damn well she traded in national security so she could do her four year crime spree without scrutiny. They know she's lying every step of the way. They know Obama is lying about it. They know the whole administration is totally corrupt.
The media can't keep this bottled up any longer, so the next approach is to make it appear as if she simply goofed up a little on minor things like the handling of her emails.
After all, America has the worst record of any country in the world when it comes to treating women... and Hillary is the only one who can fix that!
“...so the next approach is to make it appear as if she simply goofed up a little on minor things...”
I disagree. For the AP, this article is very tough on HRC. I think the media know that if the State Dept report was that scathing, the FBI report will be much worse (since the FBI has more ammo). The media are preparing the real possibility HRC will be indicted, which Rudy Giuliani puts at 60%.
