Seth Meyers digs into Hillary Clinton's latest emails scandal drip-drip-drip

"Hillary Clinton's email scandal is the story that just won't die," Seth Meyers said on Thursday's Late Night — or to use the preferred cable news analogy, Wednesday's State Department inspector general's report is just the latest "drip, drip, drip" in the ongoing investigation. "You know, if you're wondering why so many Democrats are attracted to Bernie Sanders, this is kind of why," Meyers said. "Bernie doesn't have any drip-drip-drips — which for a 74-year-old man, is pretty remarkable."

Clinton never sought permission to use a private email server, the report said, and failed to turn over all department-related emails before she left office — a process that would have involved printing out and filing each email, Meyers noted. "Ugh, the only way this scandal could be more boring is if Wolf Blitzer talked about it. Here, I'll prove it." But he dug up some interesting tidbits from the IG report, like that Clinton's emails were going to the spam folders of State Department employees. Will this change anything? "For Hillary supporters, yesterday's report probably won't seem too scandalous, whereas it's a bombshell to Hillary detractors" who already see her as untrustworthy, Meyers said. And if you get to the point about U.S. nuclear weapons being run using 1970s-era floppy disks, well, there's a reason for that. You can get up to speed on the Clinton emails below. Peter Weber
