    If Hillary isn't in jail, the Trump won't be either. Neither one of them are classy people, but Hillary broke more and bigger laws.

    Then again, Hillary is clever, so maybe she is better at getting rid of the evidence (cough bit bleach cough).

    If Trump breaks the law, he will likely tweet about it.
