Oh my god everyone here is splitting hairs like the rest of the goddamn internet.

The FBI is looking at more Clinton emails. That sounds shady and bad for Clinton no matter how you swing it.

When you have Podesta saying "we need to clean this up" you know you're in trouble, esp since that email leaked...

I believe she herself knows how bad it is because she's avoiding to immediately address the issue, while speaking publicly an hour later.
She could hire someone to walk her dog and 40% of the country would consider it scandalous and criminal.
You're dramatically downplaying the things HRC has been implicated in. It's almost as if you've already made up your mind that she's not guilty of anything.
33 congressional hearings and $7 million were spent on the whole Benghazi thing, and what did it prove? Obviously she should have supported the ambassador better but hindsight is 20/20. http://www.vanityfair.com/news/2016/06/house-select-committe...

Then there's the accusation that she rigged the primary, despite the fact that she had nothing to do with that. It was on the DNC.

Or there was the "scandal" about how her staff was smashing cell phones. It's a legit and basically mundane data security procedure. https://www.wired.com/2016/09/actually-clinton-destroyed-pho...

People scream scandal at her over mundane stuff or stuff she has nothing to do with all the time. It's absurd.

She ran a private e-mail server for top-secret communication while in office. DNC rigged the primary in her favour, and you’re suggesting she had nothing to do with that. Who’s being absurd here.
