Why did the FBI politely ask Hillary Clinton to turn over emails rather than raid her home like they've done with Trump's associates?

It addition, why did they offer immunity to Clinton's staff while they prosecute all of Trump's staff? Does there appear to be a trend here?

    Because people who go after the Clintons tend to disappear

    Because emails were considered a low level security risk. She didn't do anything w/ her emails that other politicians did before her. The difference was, she got caught on the cusp of a rule change and failed to comply. She apologized for the mistake. The FBI investigated, backed away f/ pursuing it having determined no breach in security occurred.

    The history on Hillary is the reps did everything in their power to smear her. When the smoke cleared, she never even faced a grand jury let alone indictment or conviction. Reps even admitted to grandstanding as a means to reduce her poll numbers. Trump vowed to lock her up. Even the most powerful man in the world cant find wrong doing that didn't occur.

    You have to remember the way it was back then. They worked for Obama. Hillary was "the government". Trump was a nothing.

    A raid is conducted when the FBI has reason to believe the suspect will destroy evidence.

    Hillary never destroyed evidence. Conservatives think she deleted 35,000 emails to hide them from the FBI, but that's not what happened. Those emails were deleted BEFORE the FBI made any request. BEFORE any subpoena was issued. And they were deleted pursuant to existing document retention policies.

    I know you won't agree with me, or believe me. That's fine. At the end of the day you don't have to convince me of Trump's innocence, you have to convince Robert Mueller.

    She's part of the establishment and they cover for one another. Go on YouTube and you can see and hear officials covering up for each other.

    One appears to be a criminal organization and the other not quite as much
