Assuming Clinton had those dirty secrets and Trump had nothing equivalent, that's what a level playing field looks like. If you want to assume there were also some dirty Trump secrets that didn't come out then it seems like the only way to "level the playing field" would be for e.g. Venezuela to hack the Republicans and air their dirty laundry too. And people are running around saying how terrible this is and asking "what if everybody did this?" But it seems like the answer to that question is, then people would know more relevant information about their political candidates. Or politicians would get better at computer security. Which of those is supposed to be bad? |

Those are two rather incredulous assumptions considering that:
- Clinton released all of her tax returns, whereas Trump didn't release any
- The Clinton Foundation has been audited by at least three well respected, independent, organizations (garnering top ratings from all), whereas we know comparatively little about the Trump Foundation (or whatever it's called), yet it's admitted within the last six months to several inappropriate expenditures or donations, and is likely being investigated for more
- Trump sits atop a network of literally hundreds (if not thousands) of "independent" corporations designed solely to evade disclosure, liability, taxes or some combination thereof
