They both belong in jail...

Poll - Total Votes: 34
They violated the law, they should be held accountable like anyone else. No special treatment.
Trump should be prosecuted, but Clinton deserves special treatment.
Clinton should be prosecuted, but Trump deserves special treatment.
Leave them both alone; there should be no government secrets.

I have a security clearance for my job. It is necessary every single day. Several hours of each day are spent in a room where the presence of my phone would be the military equivalent of a felony.

Classified information and documents are very heavily regulated and everyone with a security clearance is thoroughly trained on those regulations.

Both Hilary Clinton and Donald Trump violated our laws and, if not for their wealth and political status, would be in jail. I say lock 'em up.

I don't disagree. But all of your answers have the presumption of guilt. I don't know how things work at that level, but I assume there is due process. We are built on the assumption of innocent until proven guilty. So the way you worded the answers makes me feel uncomfortable. But yeah, neither deserve special treatment.

How do you feel about presidential pardons?

@ShadowSister You are, of course, right. What I would like to see is both of them before an impartial judge and a jury of their peers.

I actually don't think much about them. It is a power granted to presidents and governors. Personally, if convicted of a crime by a jury, I don't like the idea of one person having the power to overturn that... but it's not a big thing to me. Maybe it should be. 🤷‍♀️

@sarabee1995 Yeah, I don't think about it much either. But it seemed in line with the principle you were putting forth. If these two individuals aren't above the law, why should the people they choose be above the law either?

@ShadowSister I agree with that. The concept of pardons and commutations bothers me, but not a lot.
