that NOW is not always the time for everything in politics?

Every day as Hillary examines the news, she has to decide WHETHER it would be useful to make a statement or less. Who would be helped and who not. What ripples, what effects?

Observers can avoid constant clueless frustration by paying less attention to the corrupt bobbleheads on the screen and more to the politicians and other figures who make things happen. They're pros, and there's as much to know to do this job well as there is in any other profession, and the consequences for those operating at the national level far larger.
