Bill Clinton defended his wife’s handling of the ongoing email scandal, seeming to channel her frustrations in a way she could not.
“The other party doesn’t want to run against her,” the former president said of his wife in a CNN interview on Sunday. “And if they do, they’d like her as mangled up as possible. And they know that if they leak things and say things, that that is catnip to the people who get bored talking about what’s your position on student loan relief, or dealing with the shortage of mental healthcare, or what to do with the epidemic of prescription drugs and heroin out in America.”
“I have never seen so much expended on so little,” he added.

Bill Clinton stated that he believes the GOP has blown the scandal far out of proportion in order to bolster their own candidates and “wage a full frontal assault on her.”
“I actually am amazed that she’s borne up under it as well as she has. But I have never seen so much expended on so little,” Bill Clinton said. “I trust the people. I think it will be all right. But it’s obvious what happened.”
Hillary Clinton has fallen behind in the polls this week dramatically as a result of her private email scandal. Her husband compared the scandal to the Whitewater scandal of the 1990s, which tainted his own campaign and presidency, claiming that “we’re seeing history repeat itself.”
