During the Democratic debate at Charleston, South Carolina on Sunday, Hillary Clinton’s campaign team tweeted a seemingly innocuous statement she had made during the debate.
“There should be no bank too big to fail and no individual too big to jail.” —Hillary #DemDebate

Clinton has been accused of using her powerful influence to flout the law, most notably using a private email server to conduct State Department business, which the FBI is investigating.
@HillaryClinton Does this include yourself? #possibleindictment

@HillaryClinton “No individual too big to jail” - I can’t believe she just tweeted that with a straight face

@RicVaDude @Alxandro @HillaryClinton I don’t know. It appears as if they are untouchable. American Laws do not apply to the Cilntons.
— Joe Petri (@EnoughisEnoug13) January 18, 2016During the debate, the most Googled question about Hillary Clinton was “Will Hillary Clinton get prosecuted?” and the third most Googled question was “What did Hillary Clinton do that is illegal?”
Clinton has repeatedly denied allegations of wrongdoing, saying that she never exchanged classified or sensitive information on her private email account.
