I feel like you're minimizing the events here.
Based on a link I posted earlier, it appears that the Russia-shit originated from one of two places. One story says it was Popadopoulous running his drunk mouth at a london bar about Russia having dirt on Hillary. That was overheard by Australian intelligence, who relayed the message to his US counterparts, and that initiated the inquiry into Russian meddling.
The other story says that the Clinton campaign bought a salacious dossier and shared it with the Obama administration. This initiated an investigation into the Russian meddling, and in the process Obama thought it was ok to leak all of the dirty details, with no corroborating evidence, in the midst of an election.
By all accounts, most people seem to think the second story is more credible. A presidential candidate, and former secretary of state, BOUGHT salacious secrets from a foreign government. Then her most powerful political ally (POTUS at the time) used that information to initiate an investigation. But rather than have the investigation target Russia and protect the integrity of the election, they aligned the narrative to target Trump and conjured up this specter of collusion to divert attention from the fact that Russia was pulling shenannigans right under your nose. THEN, that administration intentionally LEAKED disgusting personal details, of highly dubious origin, to the American public in the midst of an election.
Reducing that to "clinton threw shit against the wall" is a gross miscategorization of facts. That SHOULD BE the scandal of the century.
I'm still dumbfounded that people hate trump that much, that they can ignore the PROVABLE egregious government corruption like that.
