1. Not buying it

The white male gets away with it. Its no use saying "if this were Obama" or "If it was Clinton"

"Whatifism" in this case only reinforces the GOP position that they are now in power and tough beans they can do whatever they want

And what they really want is power and money. If ISIS happens to kill a bunch of civilians, they will get some more of what they want

2. Yeah but

Hillary had a private email server in her basement. That's a terrible RISK. Trump just outright gave them classified info, so it's ok with the RUSKIPUBLICANS.
