I realize Congressional Republicans will be soundly criticized in the
media for this stance
. But the way Clinton has slid in the polls down the stretch suggests an increasing number of Americans no longer buys the “it's old news” defense when it comes to Clinton scandals.
Not only will she not have have a Honeymoon period with Congress, she won't with the American people either. If she does win, she'll be under a cloud of suspicion from day 1. I strongly suspect that on the fence voters are factoring that into their deliberations.
