Author Ed Klein: Hillary Still Thinks She Did Nothing Wrong
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) - Author of the new book, Unlikeable, Ed Klein contends that Hillary Clinton still does not understand the gravity of the email scandal stemming from her decision to set up a separate server while Secretary of State and that declining health may ultimately unravel her presidential campaign.
Klein, who talked with Chris Stigall on Talk Radio 1210 WPHT, said Clinton continues to believe this scandal will eventually blow over.
"She thinks this is just a replay of all the attacks on the Clintons going all the way back, 30 years, Little Rock and in Washington when he ran for President. It's all the media and the right wingers and conservatives and she didn't do anything wrong and they're making a big deal mountain out of a molehill. I think she truly believes that, which, of course, is nonsense."
However, he does think she has many advisers that understand the consequences of what is happening here.
"There's a huge split inside the Clinton camp, in the inner circle, about how to deal with this. On the one hand, there are some of them who are urging her to, literally, lawyer up. Get a good defense attorney find out what the FBI is up to, what the Justice Department is doing, and keep her abreast of what's happening and warn her not to belittle and make a joke about these investigations."
Klein also asserts that she is dealing with a rash of medical issues that could, at any moment, knock her out of the race for President.
"Bill Clinton has urged her, time and time again, to travel with a personal physician at all times because he's very concerned she's going to faint again, she going to have another blood clot, faint, stumble, fall down, and completely ruin the campaign by showing that she's medically vulnerable, which she is. This woman is not as anywhere near as healthy as she's pretending to be...She has cut back on her campaigning because she cannot sustain the rigors and the grueling energy that it requires."
