14. the clintons have so much experience managing scandals that they just laugh at them by now.

it no longer even matters if any of them are partially or even 100% true.

their enemies have thrown so much clearly false crap their way over the last quarter century that any scandal now reeks of yet more manufactured political tripe.

moreover, every president surely gets blackmailed and/or extorted, especially now that photoshop exists.

clinton is in a better position than most to say "screw you, i know how to handle a scandal, i'll take my chances".

now just imagine how trump would react to a blackmail threat, lol! mr. brand management thin skin would do anything to stop bad press! he's already settled many lawsuits to keep people quiet!
