Obama's strategy on Clinton scandal: Play dumb

The Obama administration said Wednesday that it didn't know too much and didn't care to look into the latest scandal to hit Hillary Clinton's campaign: the release of documents that appear to show she gave several donors to the Clinton Foundation special access to the State Department when she ran it.

Several questions were asked about whether there were fears at the White House or State Department that Clinton operated a "pay-to-play" system, or whether it even looked bad enough to warrant further investigation.

But at each turn, officials said they simply didn't know enough about it to comment, and indicated they wouldn't be doing much to look into it further.
