    Hillary wasn’t prosecuted, though she probably should have been. But, she was grilled by government committees for many hours.

      I mean, they investigated it so thoroughly and decided it wasn’t criminal

            Do you think they would have prosecuted if it had been a low level employee doing the same thing? Running their own private email server, doing government business on that server?

            I think they would have, that’s why I think it’s important to note that they chose not to prosecute her despite it being something that would have been prosecuted for other less powerful people.

            Was it as big a deal as the GOP made of it? No. But, it’s still a rule that everybody else has to follow or they get charged.

      Wait… So you admit that she was grilled by people who had every intention of destroying her career, and that those people never brought criminal charges… But they should have?

      Do you know more than the people who spent way too much time investigating it? Why should she have been prosecuted?
