@blatham,
I suspect the problem here is that the investigation including wiretaps and undercover agents attempting to penetrate the Trump Campaign staff, did not yield any actionable evidence of unlawful collusion by the Trump Campaign with the Russian efforts to influence the election. Moreover the fact that the authors of this "surveillance" program did not deign to inform the nominated Candidate of their concerns and ongoing actions, strongly suggests the prejudgments and political interference that have since become so evident among some FBI and other investigators.
All that and the apparently united efforts of the Obama Administration Intelligence community officials in initially authorizing and supporting the unusually widespread "uncovering" of tapped communications involving U.S. citizens, also suggests deliberate coordination and authorization within that Administration.
Moreover my strong impression is that Hillary unnecessarily defeated herself, in several distinct ways;
=> Her campaign appeared to be infected with a complacent sense of inevitable victory, by large margins, ignoring early signs of falling support for her, both generally and in several Midwest states. (Sanders was a Primary opponent of convenience, put there by the Hillary -controlled DNC, to masquerade as opposition to the designated queen. He surprised everyone with the excitement he created among some voters, but the Clinton campaign appeared to take no notice.) Hillary herself appeared to consider victory inevitable and to have made little effort to understand and relate to voter concerns both nationally and in various regions. Announcing during a campaign visit to West Virginia that we need to "shut down the coal industry" wasn't very smart.
=> Her excuses and evasions of responsibility for consulate security involving the Bengasi attack, and her repeated use of a known false narrative regarding its cause were both widely reported and likely disaffected many who otherwise might have voted for her.
=> The subsequent revelations about her systematic use of a private server to store all her personal and official e mails, together with a series of obviously false or misleading rationalizations ("no classified material included" - later rephrased as "no material marked as Classified was included" - no matter both are illegal) likely turned off these and other voters.
=> In both the server and the Bengasi issues she exhibited a phony regal distain for serious matters that concerned many people, and her repeated evasions of both her responsibility and the facts of the matters very likely caused her more harm than was acknowledged. All this added to concerns about long-term misuse of Clinton Foundation funds to pay the salaries of her permanent political staff. Together these issues seriously undermined
her credibility.
I'll readily concede that a shared sense of the "inevitability" of a Queen Hillary victory, and concerns about the disruptive traits observable in Trump's behavior, could both have been powerful inducements for otherwise serious people to violate their legal authorities and responsibilities in ways they might otherwise have avoided. However , they too are responsible for the actions they take, and will likely be held accountable.
