Hey MSM! Where is the outrage?

Ok here's the deal... during the election campaign we knew that Hillary Clinton had been under investigation for her private server emails, because the FBI Director told us so. It is widely acknowledged that Hillary's campaign was hamstrung by the taint of an FBI probe, and no doubt it contributed to her electoral college defeat at the polls. The brief reopening of a then closed investigation into those emails last October, was the final nail in her campaign coffin.

At the same time last year, Donald Trump was under investigation for his campaign possibly colluding with Russia. (In fact, he still is) However, his campaign was unaffected by this 'taint', because - for some reason - the FBI chose not to make its investigation publically known. Therefore, we can only speculate how his chances at the polls would have been negatively affected. It's a good assumption the taint would not have helped his chances in any way. But again, we will never know the answer to this question because the FBI chose to go public with its investigation of Hillary, and remain mum on its probe of Trump.

Using a private email server while Secretary of State, versus potentially treasonous actions involving a presidential candidate and his team.
