In an interview with Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar on Thursday, MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell fretted that the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s e-mail scandal would continue to damage the Democratic front-runner unless it was suddenly shut down: “...now that the FBI is involved and now that these e-mails will trickle out between now and January....unless they close this down quickly and completely exonerate everyone, this is a shadow hanging over her campaign.”

Mitchell lamented that Clinton “can't get her policy prescriptions out” and added: “When she gave a big speech on Cuba and Miami, I was down there and all ready to go and then the e-mails came out and also she released her tax returns and her health report all in the same afternoon. So, they're stepping on their own message.”
