Hillary is just the latest addition to the steady erosion of Americans' trust in those with the duty to govern.
Beginning with Nixon and steadily on (mass media has made transgressions available to most of the public), it has been a progressive rap sheet of dodging the rules.
Personal soap operas aside, if we have become inoculated over time to the stream of offences and have decided they don't really matter and are just witch hunts by the "other side" and no longer believe it reasonable those with the duty to make the rules should be held to the highest standard of following them, we should not complain any longer about "criminals in office." We elect them, so it must be OK.
