If you voted for someone because you wanted to see a political rival put in prison, you voted for the wrong reason to begin with.

Do you want to live in a Republic under the rule of law, or do you want to live in Imperial Rome where untouchable elites are free to do as they please?
The notion that the prosecution of Hillary would be a political attack is false. It is in fact a dire necessity for the future of our government not to set the most dangerous of precedents, which is that political elites are above the law.

What a precedent for any criminal.
"Oh, you got humiliated? Well, that's justice enough, you're free to go!".
But, if anyone seriously thought She'd be prosecuted is in denial.
I think a more troublesome precedent would be imprisoning your political opponents. Thats pure banana republic.
I'd have thought justice should be served, regardless of station, or if humiliated, or had a bad day.
By your logic, anyone that is in politics shouldn't be prosecuted? As surely anyone in politics is the opposition to someone else in politics.

Think what you want.
But remember: the DNC did all they could to obstruct GW Bush in his second term. This cause the GOP to play tit for tat. We already find it impossible to get decent people to fun for office due to the rectal microscope they are given. Now we can dd to that eliminating anyone who doesn't want to be put in prison. Because one thing I know for sure: in politics, tit for tat is THE rule.

I don't think you are understanding my logic, so your test won't work.
If you want to get revenge on Hillary, it'll cost the entire Republic in the end. We elect nothing but tiny little minds, and they can't help themelves when it comes to revenge.
ETA: you want to be angry? Be angry with yourself and your neighbors. We The People created the government that believes it can get away with it. We feed the media beast, and continue allowing them to turn elections into circus (because we seem to like things to be low brow entertainment, not informative)..
We The People failed to do our jobs, so now Hillary gets to walk.
