Trump, on the other hand had an entire shit-storm of scandal all out in the open, but FOX news says Hillary is evil and that makes it so for half the country. You have to hand it to FOX and the Republicans....they really performed their due diligence for the last few years, and while their constant smearing of Clinton may not have cost her the election it probably tipped the scales. I'm not denying she's very responsible for the loss as well, but the general public opinion of Hilary Clinton is that she's capable, but a criminal. A criminal? How? They made old people believe that Hilary Clinton was running around the Benghazi complex with an AK47, and that the Clinton Foundation (which has helped millions of people) is a front for a criminal empire. Then there's the pizzagate thing which is just beyond stupid, and I feel sorry for the idiots who believed that. Actually, I don't feel sorry for them...I hope they die soon because they're not smart enough to be walking among the rest of us.
I look around sometimes and wonder "who are the fucking idiots in my general vicinity who put that clown show in the White House?"

The email scandal, Benghazi, and the hacked DNC emails amounted to a big fat huge zero. No crime committed - no crime at all.
The only thing that came out of the hacked emails was that the DNC wanted Clinton over Bernie. My sixteen year old could have told us that without thinking too hard. Clinton had a twenty year relationship with the DNC while Bernie wasn't even a Democrat until just recently. It should be PAINFULLY obvious that the DNC had WANTED Clinton as their nominee, and of course it's PAINFULLY obvious the Clinton Campaign worked that to it's advantage.
All of this.... The email scandal, Benghazi, and the hacked DNC emails.... Was nothing more than the Republicans using the US Government, it's resources, it's time, and it's money to conduct a massive smear campaign.
Again, I am not a huge fan of Hillary. I could care less.
Benghazi was pure bullshit. There was no crime, nothing done wrong, no hint of anything bad at all. This was a terrorist attack no one saw coming, no one could have prevented, and NOTHING we could have done would have changed the outcome of what happened. There was NO REASON to investigate this. Nine fucking times we investigated it. We investigated Benhazi more than 9/11.
The email scandal was more of the same bullshit. In very simple terms it is just not against the law for a US official to send classified information via email or a private server. It just isn't. It isn't illegal to transmit classified information via email, phone, fax, smoke signals, or a private courier with a classified information rammed up their ass. Email didn't even exist when these laws were written. This was nothing more than a witch hunt. That's all it was. They knew there would be no charges, but they were hoping to dig up more dirt - which, btw, they didn't.
Now we have the hacked emails. Frankly, our election was comprised by a third party. No matter how you look at it, these emails altered and changed the course of the election. The entire Homeland Security department is saying the Russians did it and told us EXACTLY who did it, while the President Elect, who benefited from this hacking, is telling us the people in charge of our intelligence agencies are "wrong". You know, the man who has never used a computer. Clearly he knows best.
Where does everyone think this is going to go? You think Trump will become President and the intelligence agencies will say "Oh, we were wrong, Trump showed us the light". LOL.
