What I find most intriguing about the Hillary Clinton e-mail story is that it was broken by The New York Times.

If the NYT was vested in getting Hillary elected to the White House would it feature such a story?

Of course, the NYT wants a Democrat to succeed Barack Obama, preferably a woman. But Hillary isn’t the only one who can fill those shoes now with the emergence of Elizabeth Warren.

Sure Democrats will go with Hillary if they have to, but how many really want to go with her? Left-wing activists are passionate about Warren, not Hillary. Their discontent with Hillary goes all the way back to her support for the War in Iraq and it would cost her dearly against Obama in 2008. This e-mail row not to mention The Wall Street Journal’s revelations last week that the Clinton Foundation accepted money from foreign donors while she was still serving as Secretary of State will do nothing to endear her to the Left.

The New York Times smells blood on the water and it might not be long before Elizabeth Warren feeds on Hillary Clinton’s political carcass.
