When you’ve been somebody’s top aide for over two decades and they start calling you “one of my staffers,” something’s going on:

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton blasted the FBI again Monday – and this time brought up the bureau’s probe into emails maintained by longtime aide Huma Abedin – dismissing the idea she did anything wrong while minimizing the role of her close staffer.

‘Now they apparently want to look at emails of one of my staffers – and by all means they should look at them,’ Clinton said, bringing up the FBI attack at the start of a rally before a room packed with students at Kent State University.

‘And I am sure they will reach the same conclusion they did when they looked at my emails for the last year. There is no case here. And they said it wasn’t even a close call,’ Clinton said.

The odds are slim that the FBI gives a damn about Huma’s emails on that laptop, but whatever it takes for Hillary to throw ol’ what’s-her-name under the “Stronger Together” bus.
