Or which of the many political faux pas would you like to prosecute former politicians for?
If they were prosecuted in the first place, not allowed to be gotten away with, there would be no need to bring them up as a sort of "but Hillary" meme. They would not be precedents that you could use to let your child get away with wrongdoing.

Hillary getting away with her shenanigans can be used as a precedent you can use to excuse your children's transgressions, just as her husband's sexual deviations gave many children excuses to do the same. And yes, that applies to letting other malfeasances go unpunished.
