Do Democrats really not care about Clinton lying to the country? (Saddam, ideology)

When Bill Clinton directly lied to the American people, I didn't really hold that against him. That doesn't mean I believed he shouldn't have been held accountable for committing perjury, but when he lied outside of the deposition, it was more of a "personal" issue for a public person.
What I can't understand is how so many Democrats will continue to support her when she directly lied to the country about matters of national security.
If you are still supporting her after this, how can you justify it?
This isn't a "I don't like her so I will assume she lied", it's a matter of fact. FBI Director Comey completely contradicts many of her direct statements. So, either she is lying or the FBI is lying, and we know it's not the FBI.
If you don't like Trump, don't vote for him. I can't stand Hilary, but I'm not going to vote for Trump.
Why can't Democrats take a stand on this? If enough Democrats had the backbone to do the right thing, there would still be time to select another person at the convention.
Do the majority of Democrats have no integrity at all?
Politicians lie all the time. So do most people when they're caught in a tight spot because of doing something stupid, careless or foolish. Big deal. Election to public office is not nomination for sainthood, so people looking for moral perfection in their political leaders need to look elsewhere, like religious mythology. This may come as a shock to some, but George Washington never chopped down a cherry tree ...
I worry much more about a politician who lies about important things that affect public policy ... like there being "reliable evidence" of Iraq having WMDs in 2002 ... than about a politician who lies to cover up a mistake or bad judgement.
Can you view the following and tell me how....how......HOW in the world you can come to such a conclusion?
This is not R vs D, lib vs conv....it's simple compare and contrasting statements and what I think any rational person would call outright lying that anyone can clearly see. And the first 2 videos are statements made by someone under an fbi criminal investigation. And you even go to the point of saying you trust this person? These statements made by the fbi director against clinton.....this is someone you trust? Someone who sounds like they are ready to run our country in the most highest position?
The issue is not with the accused, but the accuser(s).
Since the Whitewater investigation over 20 years ago, the GOP has shown no restraint using government resources to investigate the Clintons over the most minor issues. Outside the right-wing echo chamber, most Americans see Emailgate as yet another GOP fishing expedition that has failed to turn up anything worth prosecuting. We have become desensitized to yet another investigation, yet more millions of dollars wasted, yet more time spent on narrow partisanship while the country faced greater economic, political, and social issues. We have simply grown numb from the persistent background noise of endless GOP investigations.
In short, it's the Boy Who Cried Wolf.
At this point, no one is going to change their vote over this issue, especially given the GOP's alternative for President. These investigations are pure political theater for the gerrymandered GOP electorate.
What actions and what laws did Obama enact that increased our national debt?
Obama inherited Bush's tax cut caused deficits, inherited Bush's very expensive for nothing Iraq war, inherited $1.2 trillion dollars in federal subsidies Bush gave to large corporations, and inherited various tax cut caused deficits from Dick Cheney's oil company tax cuts.
Can you tell me how Obama increased our debt?
Part of how he increased our debt was taking this country out of the nosedive Republicans left it in after Bush left office and pulling out of the impending Great Recession by stimulating the economy with a spending plan. This was absolutely necessary to keep markets from crashing and burning like they did in 1929.
Republicans don't understand how this work, furthermore, they don't understand they are responsible for it.
Hillary is breathing a sigh of relief, but her endangerment of national security and the appearance of being above the law is making voters on ALL sides very angry.
Oddly, in spite of her escape, she may have handled Trump the election. He's already using this to his advantage.

And Hillary Clinton supported invading Iraq at the time even though critics have said the Iraq War will produce no WMD. Trump openly said he does not support invading Iraq at the time and people ridiculed him for saying it back then and now.

It doesn't matter what Hillary does between now and the election, it really doesn't. Trump could be saying all the right things all the way up till the eve of the election, and then he will revert to form in the last hour and say something that has every right thinking American (still a tiny majority) saying "How on earth could we take a chance with this clown?"
Trump will continue to be his own worst enemy. Hillary can pretty much do as she pleases until the election.
