“What the hell is happening at The New York Times?” former Times reporter Kurt Eichenwald asked after the Grey Lady’s story about a possible criminal investigation of Hillary Clinton’s email usage blew up in their faces.

But no quickly was it published than it began to crumble, as ranking member of the House Select Committee on Benghazi Elijah Cummings (D-MD) said the documents the Times thought it had obtained were merely FOIA requests.
