I guess the difference between us is that I distinguish between the problems with what Clinton did and with what Trump has done, and you equate them, as politically motivated allegations.

I have not accepted talking points about her. I worked in white collar crime and for politicians. Folks don't permanently erase private servers, using programs that make recapture impossible, entirely by accident. Even Comey called it "extremely careless."
Would you greenlight the erasure of a server under those circumstances? Of course not.
Ah, but she gets the benefit of every doubt from you. As does everyone on the Democrat side, particularly since Trump's election. If I did a meta analysis of this board we'd find that you give a pass to the Ds while assailing the Rs for similar behavior exactly as much as you accuse me of doing the opposite. And you know it.
This place, and almost any analogue of it anywhere else, where people argue about politics, proves just how much the two party system, and probably our entire adversarial system, needs to be overhauled. Picking sides damages people's thinking.
