Hillary was the acting SoS, she had the highest level security clearance there is. She had every right to possess any and all classified materials. She violated rules (not the law) around handling classified documents. Trump is a private citizen, he has no more right to possess classified materials than you or I do. What he did was a felony and it's easy to prove if they removed classified materials from Mar a Lago.
