“I think there are going to be some leaks that are going to be very damaging to Hillary Clinton,” Bernstein said. Look, what she did was an act of recklessness, and entitlement, that there’s no excuse for. And she’s going to have to go up to the FBI, under oath, and explain why she did this.”

Even if nothing comes out of this it takes away from the issues and weakens her if she became the nominee.

Especially to the party's big money donors and the people who publicly endorsed her so long ago.
I wonder how many of them would have been so forceful speaking up for her if they would have known the FBI investigation was underway.

Not a lot of people have the temerity to run for public office after they learn the FBI is investigating them.
Certainly not for the White House.

who have backed her and who will look like sycophants and brainless droids

But this wasn't even a slap on the wrist, it was a scolding. Clinton, as an attorney interested in issues of defense-especially her own- realizes this.

Her teams game will be to minimize the significance of the OIG report, which I suspect will mostly mean trying to ignore that it was reported.

There are too too many things she has done that in hindsight show her poor judgement.

Called the report "devastating" and Hillary (and Trump) "serial liars".

As HereSince1628 implies, there's motivation to just ignore this. It's just not doable for even a David Brock to marginalize Carl Bernstein. He's the more liberal one of the Woodward and Bernstein team. (The Dustin Hoffman to the Robert Redford)

He helped expose the shenanigans of Watergate, and the Clinton team doesn't want to remind anyone that the guy who helped expose Nixon's lies has contempt for their lies.
