Yes, since Democrats did not prosecute Bill Clinton they have no business going after Trump for the exact same thing. I guess you missed the fairness and treat each equal part.

I am not sure of exactly what you are referencing in your last comment/question???

Clinton did not illegally dispose of emails. The claim that she did is a "Fox fact"; those don't hold up in court (as was made plain during GOP challenges to the last election). And it was her legal right to determine which emails were personal and which work related. 

She never had a "government server." She had a private one. The issue was how to capture all work related emails for archiving. And NO ONE would be criminally indicted for having a couple of classified emails in a long email chain resulting from normal use (no intention to steal info or give to a foreign power). The FBI could find no intention for anything other than normal use--the only outside shot for a criminal charge.

The private server only came to light because of a politicized investigation into Benghazi, which resulted in no charges but dropped Hillary's numbers enough to give Trump the election. Just as Bill's impeachment over lying about Lewinsky only came about after a whitewater fishing expedition. That neither Clinton's were convicted of the many Fox-fueled charges brought against them is spun by Fox as "elite Dems getting away with it; one law for them and another for the rest of us!" rather than seen as judicial accounting working properly. Now many millions of Fox viewers are accustomed to convicting without courtroom standards of evidence, when it comes to political opponents.

But one can be prosecuted for taking hard copy of highly classified documents home when out of office and refusing to turn them back over when the National Archives requests them, calling them "mine now." In that case I think we are going to find the Fox audience also exonerates regardless of evidence, when it's their guy.

Bill did not secretly order a flunky to pay off a porn star with campaign funds to keep her quiet before an election. He paid Jones a settlement in 1998, during his last term of office--a LEGAL payment, publicly recorded. What I missed here is are your terms of comparison. Where is the "equal" crime?
