COMMON SENSE – AT 11:08 A.M. ET:  Some reporters have it, and some don't.  Sharyl Attkisson, eased out of CBS, is one who does.  She's risked her career by demanding to report unpleasant truths, even about the liberal establishment.  And she has a common-sense take on Hillary Clinton's erasing the e-mails on her private server.  From Newsmax: 

There must have been "very, very bad or embarrassing" things on Hillary Clinton's personal email server that was wiped clean – including information on the deadly 2012 attack on the U.S. outpost in Benghazi, Libya, says former CBC News investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson.

In an interview on "The Steve Malzberg Show" on Newsmax TV on Monday, Attkisson said it was just "common sense" that the deleted data was likely worse than the firestorm created by its deletion.

"In my experience, there must've been some very, very bad or embarrassing things on there, because it appears as if she'd rather take the heat for the actions erasing the server at a time when she knew it was being sought by Congress and under Freedom of Information Act request, and probably lawsuits … than turn over what was really in them," she said.

"To me, this all points to Benghazi," Attkisson added. "There are things she didn't want to turn over and did not turn over – communications regarding the story that the administration most wants to go away, most wants to controversialize and most wants to say is a non-story. That's what it says."

Attkisson said Clinton also put herself in a position of being "in a terrible amount of trouble if you know that the material you have is being sought under a lawsuit or subpoena and you don't preserve it."

COMMENT:  Yup, common sense.  And Hillary might well be in legal trouble just as she's starting her presidential campaign.  I can just see her taking the oath of office wearing a striped shirt with a number on it.  For the Clintons, that's kind of par.

Stay tuned.  I think Trey Gowdy and his Benghazi investigative committee in the House may have some very interesting times for us ahead.
