The Republican party went after Hillary for no reason. There was no crime; There was no accusation of crime. With the first issue they were "looking into the mishandling" of confidential information. No crime committed, no crime named, but multiple investigations. Same thing with Benghazi. The event had nothing to do with Hillary Clinton, but they had multiple investigations to "look into things". To this very day some people blame American deaths in Benghazi on Hillary Clinton, even though she had nothing to do anything that happened in Benghazi.
With Trump we are having a legitimate investigation. This investigation originally started before Trump ran for office. Some people, like Carter Page, were under investigation before they went to work for Trump. Then once Trump was in office what should have been routine investigations revealed huge problems, such as Micheal Flynn lying about contacts with the Russian government. The more the FBI looked into this, the more problems they found - so a Special Prosecutor was called for. The investigation by the Special Prosecutor has turned up dozens of people who have committed hundreds of crimes. Some of these people are pleading guilty, others are being found guilty at trial, some are going to prison and yet others are already in prison.
The entire Trump campaign was full of actual criminals. There has been lying under oath, obstruction of justice, bank fraud, tax fraud, and a host of other crimes. One person's testimony last week - Micheal Coehn - will spawn a dozen new investigations.
This will take down the President, dozens with him, and investigations will continue for long after Trump leaves office.
