In the thread your referencing with Hillary and the 279 posts just reading the 1st post tells me this is a discussion thread on the topic. The OP mentions some of the issues and then in the last paragraph asks "Why am I wrong? " In this thread here the thread starts with **BoffKing** conclusions in the OP of bribery and tax evasion by Trump. I see that as a large difference between the two, but perhaps that is just me. ---

Nah, nothing either of them is even suspected of by the wildest-eyed opponents rises to the level of a felony. Hillary may have violated State Department regulations, and Trump may have engaged in fraud. Fraud ain’t a felony, and, since he’s being sued in civil court, it isn’t even a “crime” at this point. ---

Concerning Hillary the old stuff is, well old. As for the email business the correct process is ongoing and that will sort itself out one way or another. Concerning Trump here it seems \*\*BoffKing \*\*wishes to dispense with the legal process entirely. I know many here see nothing wrong with that. I do, hence my comment. ---
