Appearing during MSNBC’s 12 p.m. ET hour on Thursday, liberal Washington Post columnist Ruth Marcus followed Hillary Clinton’s campaign talking points to the letter by laughably declaring the escalating investigation into the e-mail scandal was somehow “good news” for the Democratic frontrunner.

Host Andrea Mitchell observed: “They have to question her [Hillary Clinton]. They can't shut this down without asking her questions.” Marcus replied: “You want to build your case or not case, but you want to proceed methodically from the ground up and that's why it's important and actually good news for the Clinton campaign that this lower level person is being given immunity. That removes a barrier, he can now be questioned.”
