More Email Fallout? Why Clinton's Political Woes Aren't Over

The FBI's decision to not recommend criminal charges against Hillary Clinton regarding her handling of classified emails removes the legal cloud hanging over her presidential campaign -- but not the political one. 

On the Clinton campaign trail Tuesday, there was a deafening silence on the matter.

President Barack Obama, taking to the road to support his former rival, said nothing of his administration's decision not to prosecute her. Instead he talked about the differences between Clinton and Donald Trump.

"You are going to have a very clear choice to make between two fundamentally different visions of where America should go," Obama said.

Despite her own issues with trustworthiness, Clinton is continuing to attack Republican rival Trump on the issues of character and temperament.

"The world hangs on every word our president says and Donald Trump is simply unqualified and temperamentally unfit to be our president and commander in chief," she said.

Critics argue, however, the FBI's statements about Clinton's recklessness with her emails undercut the argument that she is the candidate with the best judgment.

Although he declined to prosecute her, FBI Director James Comey said Clinton and her State Department colleagues were "extremely careless" in handling very sensitive, highly classified information.

Meanwhile, on the campaign trail in North Carolina Tuesday, Trump lost no time seizing on that point and attacking her judgment again.

"She'll never be able to do the job. Her judgment is horrible. Look at her judgment on emails. Who would do it?" Trump said.

It's a serious political punch for a candidate who struggles with reassuring voters that she is trustworthy.

Also, the timing of the FBI's decision and observations on Clinton's negligence comes just three weeks before she is scheduled to formally accept the Democratic nomination as the party's presidential candidate.
