They have an interest in who is the American president. Why do you think Saudi Arabia gave 20 million to the Clinton foundation? It wasn't because they are interested in charity. I could imagine Hillary doing that, she would just do it privately.
But, as was pointed out, Hillary claims there is no classified information in her emails. So what's the big deal?
There's a major difference between donating money to a private organization (a charity noless) and asking a foreign government to commit espionage against a former Secretary of State and current Presidential candidate.
It doesn't matter if there's any classified information in her emails or not. Trump is asking a foreign government to hack into his political opponents emails and release them. That's worse than anything the DNC did to Bernie Sanders. This argument amounts to "If you don't have anything to hide, you have nothing to worry about from NSA surveillance." To put it simply: He's asking someone (at all) to hack into his political opponents email server. If he's willing to go this far in his bid for presidency in front of the entire country, what's he willing to do to his political opponents behind closed doors?
Quote: If Russia or any other country or person has Hillary Clinton's 33,000 illegally deleted emails, perhaps they should share them with the FBI!
People are predictably making way too much out of it.
