MORE TROUBLE FOR HILLARY – AT 8:52 A.M. ET:  What's significant about Clinton scandals is that they're ongoing.  They never seem to end.  New, exciting discoveries are made all the time that keep them going.

The Democratic Party may well nominate a candidate for president who has a reasonable chance of being indicted.  There's a first time for everything.  From Fox:

A federal judge has agreed to reopen a lawsuit that seeks to gain access to emails from former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s private server.

Judge Reggie B. Walton’s decision Friday came after the State Department and Judicial Watch, which brought the lawsuit, agreed that the documents that Clinton kept on her own email server separate from the government should be turned over.

“This is the first case that’s been reopened,” Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch told The Washington Times. “It’s a significant development. It points to the fraud by this administration and Mrs. Clinton.”

Previously, the court dismissed Judicial Watch's request, on the grounds that the documents did not exist.

Judicial Watch is a conservative, non-partisan educational foundation that promotes transparency and accountability in government.

Clinton provided about 30,000 emails to a House committee investigating the 2012 terror attack on the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya but deleted 32,000 emails she considered personal and not government business.

COMMENT:  This is developing just as the Queen's candidacy gets going.  Will it have an effect?  Hard to predict.  The standard line of the liberal left when confronted with scandal is to insist that Americans want to "move on."  (That in fact is how the group moveon.org got started.)  It may not be that easy when the scandal surrounds a presidential candidate.

You may be sure that the usual suspects in the media will try to come up with an equal and opposite scandal involving whatever GOP candidates emerge from the pack, just so Hillary isn't alone.  It's a service they perform regularly.
