Discussing the growing email controversy swirling around Hillary Clinton with Bloomberg Politics managing editor Mark Halperin on Thursday’s NBC Today, co-host Savannah Guthrie suggested it could resurrect another scandal for the would-be 2016 contender: “What about Republicans? This certainly hands them a lot of ammunition and breathes new life, perhaps, into the whole investigation into Benghazi.”

Halperin agreed: “In this case, there are some legitimate questions, it does reignite Benghazi. More people in the media, I think, will be open to saying, ‘What was she not revealing about that?’ But it reignites the question, why did she turn some of her private emails over to the government and not all of them?”
