I agree with part of that. Hillary broke no laws. Dick Cheney the imperial VP had the laws changed about e-mail servers claiming government servers were no secure. Hillary should have been smart enough to realize how bad that looked when she did it. My concern is how much information needed for historical archives were lost.
I think there were deeper issues, which had to do with leaking information to people who would use it in strategically advantageous ways, but I didn't really want to go into the specifics when I basically just made a joke about your post seeking to retaliate for the "lock her up" meme by shifting the issue to Cheney.
For whatever reason, there is a culture of mirror-mirror with these political accusations. The Democrats tend to side with Europe, who tends to oppose Republicanism, which I think stems back all the way to the monarchism/independence conflict that the US represents as post-colonial republic.
So it's just like a bad joke to me that monarchism v. republicanism continues to shape politics until the present day. It may take different forms, e.g. centralism v. decentralism, etc. but the partisanism/factionalism of it is annoying, to say the least.
I would much rather have substantive discussions about the issues than to have to read posts like yours that basically just attack Cheney in retaliation for Clinton being attacked for her private servers.
It's like you can just see partisan strategists meditating on things they are upset about searching for a way to accuse someone on the other side of the same thing in the same way. It's like someone stepped on your toe so you start plotting to find a way to step on their toe in revenge.
