It's all about "Pull". "When you've got it you've got it." The "intellectual" aristocracy personified by the Clinton's is the hallmark of the liberal-progressive movement. Honesty in government is a quaint notion because corruption works better and appeals to scoundrels. That is why there are so many scoundrels in government, they find a friendly home there.

The legal standard isn't different for Hillary. What's different is that we allow them to treat her differently. We no longer have a respect in this country for our laws. It used to be "obey the law or cause the law to be changed". Change is coming, but it's not the laws that are changing, it's the acceptance of criminal behavior by the elite and other minorities. The big problem is that half the population accepts this and the other half is unwilling to do much about it. Personally I see it as treason against the country. This is not supposed to be happening in this nation. Perhaps it's part of our transition to some other form of government leadership, like Iran's or North Korea's. It will come out to whatever we vote for, or rather whatever the outcome of the election dictates.

The standards are always different for the people "in power". They live better, get goodies from people they shower with governmental favors. Its an old boys club. Time for a change. Thats why I voted for Trump yesterday.

she is an insider who helps the rest of the looters to loot even more. get the picture.

We have a new aristocracy in this country, and they're heady and drunk with power. The level of arrogance and condescension is such that they feel no shame nor need to hide their corruption. If past history is any gauge, they will either have to take a deep breath and try to become more responsible, or the pitchforks and torches will be the first indication that the natives have had enough.

Why is the legal standard different for Hilary? Simple. She has both the Justice Department and The FBI in her pocket. Why? We can only imagine. But one more thing to contemplate is that the heads of those divisions are complicit in her crime(s). If Trump does nothing more than "drain the swamp" of these criminals in Washington, then he's worth voting for.

Because those in power have decided that money is more important than integrity. It is a cartel - plain and simple. They are in it for money and don't care what they do to get it.

Agree with your comment. I have lost all trust in Government....

Little criminals go to jail. Big criminals get elected.

It`s different simply because we allow it to be. Us, you and me, along with millions of others, allow it.

I am not a Federal Prosecutor, but if I was, Hillary and the Clinton Foundation would have a big, red bulls eye on them. I saw first hand how things worked as I had the sad misfortune of being stationed in Dirty City during the reign of Bill, Hillary and their minions. Having to deal with them on a at least weekly, if not daily routine, I had to give security training and scope of operations to habitants of the White House, personnel at the Pentagon and many other facilities that had access to secure communications. I have nothing but distain for the Clinton mafia and still think they had a hand in more than a few murders in Mordor (Vince Foster) and backwater Arkansas after the White Water scandal.

Because the whole gov't is corrupt!

While Hillary (and Bill) are by far the prime example, power does have a lot to do with it for many others getting away with things we "little people" can't. And now combine power with politics, which it of course always was, but increasingly with a certain persuasion of politics.

I'd say beginning will the rise of Progressive Liberalism, power was supplemented by whether you followed the "right" worldview. The more you are in good standing with the Left, the more will be overlooked. which in turn has been further supplemented by the shift of the modern press and "journalism", with few exceptions, to following the the Left's agenda and "advancing The Narrative", rather than that old-fashion objective search for the Truth. Hence, again with thankfully ever-growing exceptions, people in the category of the Clintons are simply not going to be seriously investigated by the MSM. And given the fact that, unfortunately, the majority of Americans still get their news from the MSM, and therefore it's effectively that no investigation is done. (Fortunately, that is changing in the right direction, too.)

I think a great example (although some may disagree) is Nixon. Hard to say he was not "powerful" by any definition. He was POTUS for God's sake. And he had a lot of very powerful friends. But I felt at the time, in my early 20's, having read Rand and "seen the light", that if the exact same actions, including the cover-up, committed during Watergate, had the been committed by a POTUS with a "D" after his name, there would have been no Woodward/Bernstein, no Pulitzer, no "All the Presidents Men". If it made the MSM at all, it would have been a "ho-hum, everybody does it" story, even in 1972.

Finally, as a final thought on power, I also believe that ideology may be more of a factor than power now in terms of who gets away with what. Being from Detroit, and also an Economist, I paid a lot of attention to it's years of immense prosperity that I am old enough to remember, to watching to tortuous 40 year decline to bankruptcy. Yes, the Democrats destroyed it, and of course they had some power, but nothing in comparison to the Clinton's and their like in DC. But what the crooks did have was the right ideology, party backing, and I'll say: race, to get by with graft and corruption that "you and me" would never have gotten a pass on.

It's different for the same reason the standard of sexual behavior is different for Mr. Trump. She's got enough money and power to corrupt anyone she wants to buy, and there are very few in Washington who aren't for sale.

It's different because we don't think you nor I will have people killed. That's why.

If Trump is elected, I wonder what (if anything) he will do about Hillary and her emails.

"Why Charge Martin, But Not Clinton?
In a phrase, it’s a mystery."
No, there is no mystery.
Comey is a Galt Damned Traitor.
Clinton is a Galt Damned Traitor.
Give them both the needle.
