...Let's send Hillary and Trump to jail for storing classified information incorrectly. Hillary had her under-encrypted email server and Trump had boxes full of materials sitting around Mara Lago. I wouldn't lose sleep about either being hauled before a jury for their actions.
Reading the actual laws are important:
UNAUTHORIZED REMOVAL AND RETENTION OF CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS OR MATERIAL
18 U.S.C. § 1924 Class: A misdemeanor
Possible penalty: imprisonment for 1 year and/or $100,000 fine
"Knowingly removing materials containing classified information of the United States with the intent to retain said info at an unauthorized location without the ability to do so."
GATHERING, TRANSMITTING OR LOSING DEFENSE INFORMATION
18 U.S.C. § 793 Class: Felony
Possible penalty: imprisonment for 10 years and/or $250,000 fine
"Allowing (by means of gross negligence) any document relating to the national defense to be removed from its proper place of custody or destroyed -or- willfully retaining unauthorized documents relating to national defense and failing to deliver them to the United States employee entitled to receive them -or- failure to report that unauthorized documents relating to national defense were removed from their proper place of custody or destroyed."
CONCEALING, REMOVAL, OR MUTILATION GENERALLY
18 U.S.C. § 2071 Class: Felony
Possible penalty: imprisonment of no more than 3 years, a fine, or both
"Whoever, having the custody of any such record, proceeding, map, book, document, paper, or other thing, willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, falsifies, or destroys the same."

The New York Times on March 2, 2015, reported that Clinton exclusively used a personal email account to conduct government business as secretary of state. The emails were stored on a private server at her New York home. At the State Department s request, Clinton turned over 30,490 work-related emails totaling roughly 55,000 pages, and deleted 31,830 emails she deemed personal. Clinton s defense of her unusual email arrangements resulted in numerous false and misleading claims.
Clinton said she fully complied with every rule that I was governed by in preserving her emails. But department policy says all correspondence and memorandums on substantive U.S. foreign policy issues should be retained at the end of the Secretary s tenure or sooner. Clinton left office Feb. 1, 2013; she gave her emails to the department on Dec. 5, 2014. The department s Office of Inspector General in a May 26 report confirmed that Clinton should have surrendered all [work-related] emails before leaving government and, by not doing so, she did not comply with the Federal Records Act.
Clinton claimed the vast majority of my work emails went to government employees at their government addresses, which meant they were captured and preserved immediately by the State Department. The department s IG report said that is not an appropriate method of preserving any such emails that would constitute a Federal record.
Clinton has frequently remarked that her decision to use a personal email account exclusively for government business was allowed and permitted by the State Department. But the IG report cited department policies dating to 2005 that require normal day-to-day operations to be conducted on government servers. The IG report also said Clinton, who was secretary of State from January 2009 to February 2013, had an obligation to discuss her email system with security and information technology officials, but she did not and, if she had, the request would have been denied.
Clinton said turning over my server to the government shows I have been as transparent as I could about her emails. But she did so in August of 2015 after the FBI opened an investigation. Five months earlier, she rejected calls to turn over the server to a neutral party, saying the server will remain private.
Clinton has said that previous secretaries of State did the same thing in using personal emails for government business. But the State Department has said that only Colin Powell used a personal email account for official business, and Powell did not use a private server. In addition, the IG report said the rules governing personal email and the use of nongovernment systems were considerably more detailed and more sophisticated during Clinton s tenure, making comparisons to her predecessors invalid. Secretary Clinton s cybersecurity practices accordingly must be evaluated in light of these more comprehensive directives, the report said.

Comparing Hillary's willful violations to hide her Clinton Crime Family details is not at all in the same mold as Trump (who held the power and authority of all security settings and clearances) legally putting anything he wanted, anywhere. As for the effect of these separate actions, Hillary's actions killed people:

Hillary Clinton recklessly discussed, in emails hosted on her private server, an Iranian nuclear scientist who was executed by Iran for treason.On "Face the Nation." Clinton was speaking about Shahram Amiri, who gave information to the U.S. about Iran's nuclear program.
Iran confirmed on Sunday that Amiri had been hanged for treason. He was convicted of spying charges in a death sentence case that was upheld on appeal, according to the Associated Press.
"This person who had access to the country's secret and classified information had been linked to our hostile and No. 1 enemy, America, the Great Satan" a spokesman for the Iranian judiciary said. "He provided the enemy with vital and secret information of the country."
