FROG SAYS SCORPION MUSTN’T STING: Supporters say Clinton must shake secrecy.

A wobbly, overheated Clinton was caught on video being helped into a van by Secret Service agents after leaving a Sept. 11 memorial in New York, an image that has dominated the news cycle for the last two days and could do lasting damage to her presidential hopes.

Clinton allies say it could all have been avoided if she and her campaign had been forthcoming and aboveboard about the Democratic nominee’s bout with pneumonia.
They point to Clinton’s unwillingness to give up an inch of privacy as the root of the problem.

“The way it all unfolded on Sunday was sloppy at best,” said one former Clinton aide. “With a little more transparency, we probably wouldn’t be discussing this at all today.”

While the allies acknowledged that Clinton would have taken a hit over her illness, “releasing more information will always help, that’s the reality,” another former aide said.

“Privacy” is one word for Clinton’s attempts to hide… well, pretty much anything she can. “Lying” and perhaps “obstruction” are others.
