[See NewsBusters for more.] Liberal MSNBC anchor Ed Schultz on Tuesday predictably went on the offensive, dismissing interest in Hillary Clinton's e-mail scandal as nothing more than a "Benghazi witch hunt part 2." He introduced a segment on the topic by explaining that, as Secretary of State, Clinton used a personal e-mail account. Schultz sneered, "I got one word for you here, Benghazi."  He frantically wondered, "How do we turn back a Benghazi witch hunt Part 2? I mean, this plays right into the Clinton haters' hands, doesn't it?" Talking to Democrat Jennifer Granholm, he queried, "Do you think this will rile up Hillary's base and [make them] realize that she still the big target?"
