With Trump's theft of secret documents, the 'lock her up' crowd goes silent

Remember the "Lock 'er up" chants that Donald Trump led during his 2016 campaign for the presidency?

He and his energized followers were in a rage over reports of Hillary Clinton's private email account, which supposedly contained classified documents used in her work as secretary of state. The reports sparked an investigation by the FBI, which then led to the controversial actions of its director, James Comey, who found no evidence to charge Clinton, but just days before the election lectured her for her carelessness.

The Trump crowd, which long before had concluded that Clinton was a criminal for putting the nation's secrets in jeopardy, now demanded that she be imprisoned. Trump himself suggested she should be in jail.
