This week, we asked Amy Chozick, national political reporter for the The New York Times, whocovers Hillary Clinton, about when the former secretary of state might announce her 2016 intentions, her possible competition and one thing that surprised Chozick about Clinton.

Read our conversation below before Chozick appears on the This Week roundtable Sunday.

1]Hillary Clinton has not said she is running for president, although obviously many people assume she will. If she does, what do we know about when she might announce?

Amy Chozick:The conventional wisdom is that she would establish some sort of exploratory committee to begin raising money in April. She could then do a splashy public rollout of an official campaign later in the spring or early summer. But the exploratory committee would give Clinton the legal apparatus to begin to raise and spend money for a political campaign.

2]Clintons Twitter account has been closely watched since she started tweeting. Do we know who is in control of that account and the strategy behind it?

Amy Chozick:I think we might be overanalyzing. Clinton, apparently, handles her own Twitter account and enjoys the medium. Just look what it did for her with the Texts from Hillary meme.Tweeting allows her to comment (albeit in 140 characters) on events of the day in a very controlled, but heavily disseminatedway. That beats the unpredictability of a press conference, at least for now.

3]The New York Times reportedClinton met with Sen. Elizabeth Warren in December. Do they [team Clinton] perceive her as a threat to a possible Clinton candidacy for president? And if so, how large? Also, is there a specific Republican that team Clinton perceives would pose the biggest challenge to Clinton should she decide to run and secure the nomination?
