    “Hillary has worked very long and very hard over a long period of time and we owe her a major debt of gratitude for her service to our country,” Trump said then. “I mean that very seriously. Now it is time for America to bind the wounds of division. … I say it is time for us to come together as one united people.”

    At the end of the day trump and Hillary still get along better than either would with their average voter.

    If 1/6 hadn’t have happened, I fully believe trump wouldnt have any pending court cases.

    Both parties forgive obvious crimes from prior administrations.

    And no matter how much you hate trump, that doesnt make Hillary magically innocent.

    She willingly and knowingly broke the law. And “the last guy did it too” isn’t the level of excuse we accept from teenagers.

    The sheer fact that she was allowed to use a self hosted email server instead of a secure .mail.mil address means a whole bunch of people should have faced charges

    I’m fully aware republicans do worse stuff, that doesn’t mean Dems can do anything they fucking want. That’s like a teen saying their older brother gets to smoke crack so they should at least be able to get blackout drunk every night

    Yeah, it’s better, but that doesn’t mean it’s ok.

    If a Republican breaks the law, charge them.

    But we should be charging Dems, Independents, Green party, literally all of them accountable when they break the law. Or else we’re going down the same road republicans already did, and they got a hell of a headstart

      And this folks, is a textbook example of concern trolling.

        It’s called

        Having standards

        Not doing that, is how republicans got trump…

        Some people know it as:

        Trying to stop letting Republicans win elections

        But that involves a couple steps of critical thinking and long term planning

              You might not need to tell them, but it is rather cathartic! In that vein, bye asshole.

      She willingly and knowingly broke the law.

      What law?

      The FBI probe focused on whether Clinton or her staff violated federal laws governing the handling of classified information, and whether foreign powers or hostile actors hacked into her private server, which was located at her home in New York.

      FBI Director James Comey on July 5 announced that although Clinton and her staff were “extremely careless” in handling classified information, the FBI did not find evidence that their actions were intentional. He declined to pursue criminal charges.

        What law?

        The Clinton campaign previously had indicated that her personal emails were deleted before Clinton received a congressional subpoena on March 4, 2015. But the FBI said her emails were deleted “between March 25-31, 2015” — three weeks after the subpoena.

        That one? The first few lines of the link you provided? Just because they chose not to pursue doesn’t mean it wasn’t a violation of the law.

        Just like a district attorney can chose not to prosecute on some charges in favor of only bringing a subset of them… or none at all?

        It is illegal to purge/destroy evidence after being served a subpoena. However the answer seems to be that both you and the comment you responded to were wrong. A law was broken, but deemed unknowingly.

        If you scroll down, someone else gave me a source and said it proved she didn’t break in laws…

        So I quoted the part of their source that says it was a felony and misdemeanor…

        I don’t know why people are acting like trumpets about this.

        If a politicians breaks the law, they should be charged

        Full stop
