How to overcome that conspiracy and nullify that protection, isn't that really the point of the proposed ad campaign? I imagine that Mrs Clinton would have preferred to ignore the revelation of her private server. She felt she had to attempt to explain it away (as a convenience, remember) only because (1) she was already so prominent that the revelation had to be widely reported by MSM and (2) the revelation itself was so obviously odd and possibly serious to so many as to force intensifying follow-up if it could not be explained away very quickly. "Convenience" didn't fly, the public curiosity was in play and matters progressed. Here, we have the bizarre and possibly serious revelations but not the wide reporting that created the irresistible popular pressure for explanation that puts matters to rest or forces intensifying pursuit.
