I know it’s been awhile since Hillary Clinton was accused by presidential nominee, Donald Trump, of intentionally erasing emails that he inferred would knock her out of the running for the 2016 election if found, but her “erased” emails are exponentially insignificant to Trump’s outright stealing of numerous boxes of US confidential information marked “TOP SECRET/SCI”, Secret/SCI, and Confidential.”
Trump’s lawyers maintain Trump’s classified records removal is akin to checking out books with a library card. When does a simple library card allow anyone (President or not) to steal US classified documents? These stolen records weren’t his to take–executive privilege or not.. It’s just one more illegal act from Trump, maintaining without saying, that he is above the law. Our US government is supposed to be for, by, and of the people, not for the likes of a Donald Trump.
Poor Hillary Clinton. She probably thought it was imperative to get her ear as close to the source of the GOP’s conspiracy theories as possible in order to know what to combat. Listening into Trump’s poisoned trunk was probably the incentive, in part, for her to “delete”? questionable emails. Nobody’s a perfect politician, don’t you know?
Trump might wear a MAGA hat, but he’s shown, time and time again, he can’t bamboozle his opponents with his hate rhetoric and expect to Make America Great Again. In a sense, all American politicians are, to a certain degree, in bed with one another (power, greed, pride, wealth, etc.). They just refuse to admit it.
