    No evidence of Clinton’s alleged misconduct was found. Plenty of evidence of Trump’s was found. That’s the difference.

    Maybe it’s because Clinton is innocent. Maybe it’s because she did a better job covering her tracks. Who knows? Regardless, you need evidence to convict someone, and I hope I speak for us all when I say the alternative is much, much worse.

      She willingly hid classified documents on a private server and wiped it with BeachBit so investigators couldn’t recover the evidence. Arguably that’s worse since she could also be charged with destruction of evidence. Come on now… either BOTH Hillary and Trump should be in prison or neither of them should be in prison. Any other interpretation is being willfully partisan.

        Why are even we talking about someone that was never President, is not running for President, and is not currently serving in public office?

        Investigate and prosecute all criminals. That includes Trump, regardless of who else it also includes.

        Arguably that’s worse since she could also be charged with destruction of evidence.

        but like. she wasn’t. she was investigated extensively–and that investigation probably cost her the presidency insofar as any singular thing can be blamed for her loss–and she wasn’t. do you have a reasonable explanation for why she’d not be charged with these things if she was actually as damned as you’re suggesting?

            i’m… sure you recognize that this is quite literally a case where the facts disagree with your personal feelings. i also i don’t really know where we can go from here if your earnest belief is the FBI was “politically motivated” into clearing Hillary Clinton when it literally said her actions did not rise to the standard of criminality and again, their investigation may be the single biggest reasons she lost the presidency.
