And they found nothing.
You wouldn't know it from the media coverage, but emails themselves aren't illegal, they have to be used for something illegal to be illegal.
And Hillary has had more of her emails subject to law enforcement scrutiny than anyone who has served at her level.
And they found nothing to charge her with or even accuse her of.
If you're disheartened by the coverage, that is understandable, but Hillary has not only not done anything illegal, she's been investigated for illegality in minute detail.
And if the private server bothers you, I'd like to ask you if you think her emails would receive as much scrutiny if they had been solely on government servers? They would have investigated the hell out of those too, and any that were personal in nature and deleted for that reason would have led to the same accusation as they have now.
Do you think there is a single official that has every single email they receive or send examined by lawyers, courts or law enforcement? No.
This needs to be defended because the connotations just don't square with the reality.

(10,893 posts)her detractors is sure she's crooked and guilty of something, but they don't know what it is, nor have they been successful at proving her guilt for over 25 years.

(22,050 posts)Great post, CreekDog! You've perfectly pointed out the false equivalency of the main stream media.
By the way, why hasn't that same (lazy) media done any investigations about Donald Trump?
If there were any criminal activity in Hillary Clinton's background, the Republicans would have found it. It must suck to be them since they just know there's some dirt that they can smear her with.
The joke's on them. She squeaky clean.
By the way, she's got my vote. So does every Democratic candidate on my ballot.
