It's a classic red herring. Seriously, why does what Hillary did or didn't do or what she may have gotten away with have anything to do with Trump? Why do most Trump supporters seem to believe that even if Trump is guilty, he should be off the hook since Hillary supposedly committed much worse crimes? In a court of law, you will NEVER win if your only defense is that your crime wasn't as bad as somebody else's. Why is that defense acceptable to Trump supporters and why do they continue to think it will work?

In TrumpWorld, a balanced diet is half a dozen moon pies and a six-pack of malt liquor. They apply that same sense of balance to laws and politics.

Because you on the left think it's o.k. that hillary got away with what hillary did or did not do, but now trump is wrong for possibly or not doing the same thing...

It's called hypocrisy.....

Problem -- Republicans couldn't prove anything. Maybe Democrats/liberals are better at finding things.

Oh yeah -- Deep State -- so deep they let Trump win.

Hillary is a private citizen that we the people no longer have much interest in(except for Trump supporter whataboutisms). Trump is the president.

Trump supporters don't think that Hillary's crimes vindicate Trump.

Ar least not any more than Obama supporters thought Bush's actions vindicated Obama....


Oh, but nice try using a straw man post to accuse others of a red herring position...........

The left invented "whataboutism" when they replied "But...but...BUSH!!!" To every concern about Obama. .

Must deflect around the periphery of the all consuming void that is the Trump presidency, for if you stare too long into the abyss, the abyss stares into you!

  1. “Although we did not find clear evidence that Secretary Clinton or her colleagues intended to violate laws governing the handling of classified information, there is evidence that they were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information.”
  2. Clinton’s emails included seven message chains with information classified as top secret.
  3. “None of these emails should have been on any kind of unclassified system.”
  4. “The security culture of the State Department …was generally lacking in the kind of care for classified information found elsewhere in the government.”
  5. Comey acknowledged that the FBI did not normally make public its recommendations to prosecutors as to whether to bring criminal charges. He added: “In this case, given the importance of the matter, I think unusual transparency is in order.”
  6. “Although there is evidence of potential violations of the statutes regarding the handling of classified information, our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case.”
  7. “I know there will be intense public debate in the wake of this recommendation, as there was throughout this investigation.”


Anyone with a secret clearance or above would have been in jail and or fired....

Keep slapping yourself....it may make you see something other than what your told to say.....
