I’d have thought the phrase “false equivalence” would carry more currency here. The admittedly questionable things Clinton has been accused of have been outright eclipsed, and in spades, by the things Trump has publically bragged about.
The reason that Trump corruption is less interesting is because he owns up to it, in his own shitheaded way. His supporters don’t care. Clinton’s corruption is much more nebulous and “unresolved,” which gives her opponents endless opportunities to “but what if…” Which is a much funner game to play than responding “yeah, and?”
You can’t absolutely conclusively prove that Lee Harvey Oswald, acting alone, made some pretty fucking spectacular shots. So the JFK assassination remains “mysterious.”
You’ll notice that there aren’t many conspiracy theories regarding John Hinckley Jr. or Squeaky Fromme or Gavrilo Princip.
