The Clinton email "scandal" was about Clinton and her team setting up an un-secured email server that, apparently, held a few classified (or sensitive) emails... but no evidence that anyone hacked that email server or found those sensitive emails.

What Flynn and the rest of the Trump gang did was, potentially, actively work on behalf of the Russian government to either pay back previous loans or investments, or in exchange for influencing our election for the benefit of Trump, or for future payoffs in the form of stock in Russia's Oil Company and lucrative contracts for the Sec State's previous company.

Clinton could be classified as clueless or careless.

Trump and his team actions are likely to be classified as traitorous.

Though, I wouldn't hold Clinton responsible for knowing how to secure an E-mail server. That should be the job of a systems administrator.

And wondered why that was never used as a defense. It's not the job of a 60-year-old non-IT person to know how servers work.

It didn't matter what her emails revealed, she was public and vocal about Russia and Putin.
Especially after her time as Secretary of State, but also during that time.

I don't know if I buy this, somebody's trying to spin this somehow.

Does Trump really think we'll forget what happened last year?
No - we will never forget.

In Trump's case the intent is clear, right from the very beginning, up until this very day, where the intent of his cover up is not only quite clear, but still very active

when he's really pro-Republican. He wants now to take down Trump because he, Comey, wants to save the "good" Republicans.

In fairness, he fears, rightly, the Russians and treason.

Never has the double standard been on more blatant display than since the election.
