"Blew up" is more willful ignorance from him. Trump won the electoral college by 200k votes in 3 states. {nm} Moviesnob Jan 03, 13:01

He is wrong about her breaking the law (FBI couldn't prove intent), but her emails were a factor in the election per exit polls Moviesnob Jan 03, 15:36

FBI did not wish to prove intent, very different & part of the crime. Transmitting classified, secret, and top secret documents is. {nm} TJNFL1 Jan 03, 19:30

Would not use the other guy as an excuse, but it would still be a factual crime, just not prosecuted. Statutes determine crimes. TJNFL1 Jan 03, 19:42
