>Not that she had any damning emails Hard to say this since tons that were under subpeona were deleted Edit: the best part is Hillary claiming the emails weren't work related and the press just mindlessly repeating that claim. No way to tell if the claim is true or not since they were, y'know, deleted: https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/hillary-clinton-deleted-33000-emails-secretary-state/story?id=42389308 https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/hillary-clinton-deleted-3300...

She's such a nice and reputable person, it makes sense to take her claims at face value.

  Trump and co. had four years of full power to get to the bottom of it, and yet they didn't.

    How does "getting to the bottom of it" directly benefit Donald Trump ?

    Why would Trump want to get to the bottom of anything?

Email is a two way street. If she sent a damning email, the recipient would have it. If she received a damning email, the sender would have a copy. Yet somehow no example of such an email has ever surfaced, despite it being something that would have carried a lot of weight when Trump was president.

  Why would the counterparties surface emails they’d think were damning publically?

    Damning of Hillary, not necessarily the recipient, after she lost the election and was pushed out of politics, and wanted by the new President Trump (their boss) who had an ego desperate for vindication. Doesn't the question answer itself? If we posit the existence of emails indicative of a criminal conspiracy, maybe many of them were damning of both parties and it's reasonable to assume we never saw them. But every single email? That is incredibly unlikely. More likely solution: Hillary did turn over all the emails having to do with her job when it was requested that she do so, and the ones she held back and deleted were conversations with family, online shopping, etc. that she didn't want distributed all over the public media. No criminal conspiracy emails have since shown up because there aren't any.

      Ah. Well, 1) A criminal conspiracy would necessarily also indict the counterparty, since conspiracy is a crime and they’d just be as culpable. So they’d need to not delete their emails and let them out too, despite knowing this. 2) Yeah, I don’t expect she was doing anything actually very nefarious. Certainly not like the things that have been actively admitted to by Trump in full view of the Public. I’ve personally always taken everything Trump has been ranting about as projection. It certainly holds up well to reality testing, eh?
