$tevie that was not really interesting, it was more like "you just shut up and wait to loose." Fact check by building straw men is not convincing. Why make excuses for her genuine bad behaviors? Does this not make you uncomfortable when you really think about it?
I would say her "bad behaviors" are somewhat analogous to Bridgegate. I don't believe anyone was seriously harmed when Gov. Christie and his staff did their petty revenge thing. (I've heard that people couldn't get emergency services due to traffic jams but I have not heard that their was any lasting harm to the affected people.). Same goes for Sec. Clinton's emails. Setting up the server was dumb and a mistake. Sec. Clinton has said as much. But really, no harm, no foul, at least according to the Director of the FBI, a Republican. Her other "bad behaviors" have been debunked although pay-for-play does smell a bit even if only good came of it.
One difference between the two is that in Bridgegate, Gov. Christie's staff set out to do harm using their official capacity. Sec. Clinton's server was not set up for the purpose of doing harm. That is why the governor's staff is facing hard time.
