I don't know what the nation's attitude towards this is, but as someone who served on the ground in Afghanistan and had friends separated from the military (losing benefits and other problems) for bringing an ipod into a secured space, it is hard to watch Democrats say things like, "Hillary Clinton would be president today if Comey didn't send that memo."
What they're saying out loud IS escaping accountability and they're putting it in moralistic and advocacy forms. If a bunch of enlisted folks who make less than 30k a year get the equivalent (or close to) a felony for their actions, I would expect the Secretary of State to get much more.
Obviously it makes it hard to have this discussion in light of someone like Trump who has escaped accountability at every turn, and attempts to do so devolve into a sick game of "which is worse". What I'd like to remind people of is what she did is a felony for most, and the constituents (and her) turned it into a meme to escape accountability. If we're big enough to say Donald Trump is bad, I think we're big enough to stop letting people trivialize this issue to their own ends too.
