Hillary Clinton’s problems aren’t just politics

In Las Vegas a few days ago, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton seemed to almost crack. Correspondent Ed Henry - yes, representing Mrs Clinton nemesis FOX News, but still a journalist with undoubted chops - asked her: "Did you try to wipe the entire server?" Mrs Clinton answered, in this order: a) "I have no idea." b) "What? Like with a cloth or something?" and c) "I don't know how it works digitally at all." As she left the room. she delivered a final riposte to the assembled press: "Nobody talks to me about it other than you guys."

Nobody? In a week when the State Department told a court that 305 emails from her private server were being reviewed for security breaches? How did Hillary Clinton, the better half of a couple that has batted away this kind of scandal for a quarter-century, start sounding like a cornered Richard Nixon in a pink pantsuit?
