Why Trump's naked corruption is less interesting than conspiracy theories about Clinton

I guess that depends on how you define “corruption.” I am amazed at the long list of stains on Trump’s record, some of which are legal but morally suspect (abuse of eminent domain laws, for example), a lot of this stuff wasn’t common public knowledge until he decided to run for President, and it just keeps coming out. I mean. . . buying up all the land around a mansion and posting “no trespassing” signs, thus devaluing the mansion, allowing him to snatch it up for pennies on the dollar-- I guess it’s not “corruption” but it’s something only a cartoon villain would do, and Trump bragged about it. Is there an analogue of that for Hillary Clinton?
