Looking at this as non-partisan as I can... if Hillary wasn't convicted for essentially doing the exact same thing (and deleting the evidence...) then I really don't see any way for Trump to be convicted either.
What she did is not at all "essentially doing the exact same thing". At all. I'm not saying she's not probably guilty of some crime at some point because most of our politicians are corrupt, but you are absolutely misinformed if you think she kept hundreds of classified documents, showed them off to people, and lied to federal investigators about it.
You're right... it's worse. She covered her tracks by deleting all the data then lying about it.
I assume you have evidence of this?
you'd think if she actually did commit a crime the FBI would have actually charged and prosecuted her, considering they found the accusations so serious they essentially--unintentionally or intentionally, depending on how cynical you want to view this--interfered with a democratic election in publicly announcing they were investigating just days before the 2016 presidential election. and yet!
