I get your point, and yes there is institutionalized Hillary hatred, but it is not equivalent. We are not in a presidential campaign cycle yet for one thing. If there is a Sanders potential "scandal" it has nothing to do with matters of any national concern, such as alleged security breeches, for another.

Granted how this plays out could effect a potential Sanders run in 2020
