There is a huge difference between opposition research and a foreign government hacking the opposition political party and giving you information.
GPS Fusion is an american research company. There is nothing wrong or illegal about hiring it.
However, conspiring with a foreign power to have their intelligence agencies illegally hack your opponent, give you the information, and then post this information online is completely illegal.
As for the missing emails, Hillary Clinton did not order delete the emails herself nor did she order the emails to be deleted. If she did, it would be a crime. This is not the first time this has happened; Under the Bush administration millions of emails got deleted.
