4. Name a democratic scandal, odds are Donnie's done it many times worse.

A small number of retroactively classified (most at a very low level and essentially none marked as classified) emails passed through a server that Hillary had set up for non-classified state department work. Very tenuous tie to a Hillary decision, no known security leak, no known harm. No indication that anyone involved should have known the info would later be considered classified.

Donnie stole government property blatantly marked as top secret and refused to return it. He stored it improperly and shared some of it with random hotel guests. Never mind that he's the most easily blackmailable person ever, with shady ties to Russia and other adversaries, and a documented history of paying for silence.

Dukakis was buried over Willie Horton. *one* person who was a repeat offender. Meanwhile Donnie has pardoned 1500 insurrectionists and other unrepentant criminals, quite a few of which have committed more crimes.

Hart is a good example too. And even that was a setup, lee Atwater confessed he basically rigged it, making sure a donor's boat named "monkey business" was involved. Zero evidence that hart and rice did anything inappropriate beyond that one photo.
