Well we can start with the fact that it ' s not Trump that did this , just someone associated with him . It ' s not like you ' ve shown that Trump explicitly ordered this individual to act this way . Would I say it ' s not as important as Hillary ' s emails ? No . But would I say this is not as important to specifically Trump as Hillary ' s emails were to specifically her ? Yes . I hope that ' s at least vaguely coherent that one is an individual ' s personal actions and the other is someone associated with an individual ' s personal actions . It ' s like seeing a chef that ' s got poor kitchen hygiene the restaurant owner is an order of separation away from them , they ' re not directly responsible for the way their chef acts especially if they ' re not aware . All in all I think what I ' m getting at is that I definitely think there ' s a difference .
