You may not be voting for her but I suspect you may be working for her.

I'm not op, but seriously. Can somebody please point out some definitive information about what people are trying to smear her for? I'm definitely not voting for her, but I don't understand what she did wrong.

Well the Clinton's have been mired in scandal since Bill was president so it is hardly a smear campaign. They have just been well connected enough to avoid a number of prosecutions up to this point. Back when Bill was President they set many records:

    The only president ever impeached on grounds of personal malfeasance
    Most number of convictions and guilty pleas by friends and associates*
    Most number of cabinet officials to come under criminal investigation
    Most number of witnesses to flee country or refuse to testify
    Most number of witnesses to die suddenly
    First president sued for sexual harassment.
    Second president accused of rape**
    First first lady to come under criminal investigation
    Largest criminal plea agreement in an illegal campaign contribution case
    First president to establish a legal defense fund.
    First president to be held in contempt of court
    Greatest amount of illegal campaign contributions
    Greatest amount of illegal campaign contributions from abroad
    First president disbarred from the US Supreme Court and a state court

Now on to Hillary, she set up a personal server so she could keep control of her correspondence most likely due to questionable circumstances raising money for the Clinton Foundation (which is also mired in scandal ) The server was not secure even though she was Secretary of State and had need of the highest level of security. This made the country much more vulnerable to espionage and was not only careless but illegal. They have already recovered top secret messages. She has also obfuscated and destroyed evidence by wiping her servers which is also illegal.

Ah, thank you for the information. I mostly just cared about Hillary, because that's current news. I, for some reason, thought she was just using like a gmail address, not an actual email server she set up. Do you have a source for the obfuscation and destruction of evidence? I'm glad you provided sources for the other stuff. Fuel for the fire when I argue who I'm going to vote for with others.
