I'm sure her lawyers knew the rest of the Brainworms Brigade would close ranks around her, so lying about the hacking was probably the least-bad option for her to maintain her vaunted position in #TheResistance.

No one will ever lose their job in corporate media for sticking 100% of the time to the corporate Democrat line. If her blog was attacking democrats at the time for their anti ssm stance she would never have gained a platform.

what the heck is a "grassroots labor forum"?

i'm pretty sure the grassroots, almost by definition, doesn't have regular conferences with invited paid speakers

edit: hahaha, just yesterday he was making fun of hillary for attending an "infrastructure conference", and now he's acting like the knowledgeable expert bragging about his grassroots labor conference

have any of the pundits defending reid even acknowledged any wrongdoing with regard to her hacking claims (and attempts to attack the integrity of neutral parties like the Internet Archives and the Library of Congress)? virtually all the discussion I've seen outside the Left has centered solely on her homophobia

Because the hacking story is impossible to defend. The only thing they can do is either insist that she really was hacked, which makes them look even more insane, or just not acknowledge it at all until the whole thing goes away.

most of them either ignore it completely or say something along the lines of "maybe she was hacked, maybe she wasn't, but why are we even focusing on these ten-year-old blog posts anyway"
