Mark Kleiderlein: Where was story about lawsuit against Hillary Clinton?

A lawsuit was filed against presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in a federal court by parents of two of the Americans killed in Benghazi. She is charged with negligence due to her careless handling of emails in their deaths and for “intentional infliction” of emotional distress for her remarks following their deaths.

I opened The Bee to read more about this and found not one word. Is a lawsuit about deaths in which a presidential candidate had a part not newsworthy? If not, why not? If so, why wasn’t this front page news? I did notice that you found room for stories about Donald Trump’s campaign “struggles” and how 50 bureaucrats think he is unfit for office.

My suggestion is that you take your editorial staff to see the movie “Hillary’s America.” This will give you a taste of the career-long corruption and incredibly harmful judgments made by Clinton. Perhaps then you won’t give important news about her a pass but treat her the same as you treat Trump.
