Looking At Hillary Clinton in a Crisis -- It's Not Good

The most amazing statement today came on Fox News Sunday.  Chris Wallace asked Robby Mook who leads the Clinton campaign if Hillary Clinton had asked Huma Abedin what was in the emails that were on the Abedin/Weiner computer that caused the FBI to reopen the criminal investigation into Hillary.  Mook confirmed that Hillary has not asked Huma Abedin what was in the emails.  When Wallace asked Mook why Hillary has not asked that question, Mook said that Wallace and he were "on the same page".  Mook said the he too wanted to know what was in those emails.

Think about that for a moment.  The head of the Clinton campaign just threw his candidate under the bus.  Mook basically said that he does not understand why Hillary has not asked Huma Abedin what was in the emails in question.  That's astounding a week before the election.  It does not bode well for Hillary.

But let's take it one step further.  Imagine that this were a major national security problem facing the nation and that Hillary were president.  She is out swinging hard at the FBI, but she didn't bother to ask her loyal aide for full and extremely relevant information?  Really?  How can she possibly decide how to respond without key information.  Indeed, how can she chart a course without the single most important information about the nature of the problem? 

Either Hillary has no idea how to handle a crisis or she already knows exactly what is in those emails and wants to be able to say that she doesn't.  If she asks Abedin, she cannot continue to deny knowledge.  That's actually a worse scenario than her being incompetent at handling a crisis.  It means that she knows that there are incriminating emails on that computer that would doom her if they were to come out.
