Email Observation

I am a frequent reader of Latest Threads, but almost never start a thread or comment on one. But I've been wondering if anyone else has this observation. All campaign season Hillary has had to apologize and explain her email use. She's gotten beaten up badly while her surrogates never gave her a robust full-throated defense. They would say she made a mistake and regrets it, wouldn't do it again, etc. Then after Comey clears her, they say ok let's turn the page. If she or they try to point out the hypocracy of it all, of how she is being judged by a new standard, they would get drowned out. With Comey's blatant act the Dems are hitting back hard like I've never seen before. She is, too. IMO his act has prompted an angry backflash. It has ripped the scab off and exposed this for what it and what it has been all along. Provided that she doesn't take a major hit in the polls over the final days of the campaign, Comey's heavy-handed partisan act might have the effect of poisioning the well for the GOP in the minds of the Repubs and Dems (as evidenced by Deputy Attorney Generals from both parties denoucing it and Fox legal experts as well) who seem truly horrified by what he did. Was this the bridge too far? I'm sorry it took this to wake up Dems to passionately come to Hillary's defense, but I am glad they have. Any thoughts?
