John Oliver discussed the major lack of trust Americans have in this elections major party presidential candidatesHillary Clinton and Donald Trumpon Sundays Last Week Tonight. The hostrecognized that both sides have been fraught by scandal. But, Oliver said, the choice between Hillary Clinton and Donald Americas wealthiest hemorrhoid Trump is clear.
Not being as bad as Donald Trump is a low bar to clear, Oliver said before diving into the Clinton Foundation and email server scandals. Oliver echoed the FBIs ruling on the email server scandal, which noted that while Clinton and her staff were extremely careless, the Bureau did not find a case that would support bringing criminal charges.
Weve spent several frustrating weeks trawling through all the innuendo and exaggerations surrounding her email and foundation scandals, and the worst thing you can say is they both look bad, but the harder you look, the less you actually find, Oliver said. Theres not nothing there, but what is there is irritating rather than grossly nefarious.

Turning to Trump, Oliver touched on the GOP candidates scandals involving Trump University and his charitys bizarre use of funds. Think of it like this: Ethical failings in a politician are like raisins in a cookie They shouldnt be there. They disgust people. But most politicians have at least a few raisins.
Hillary arguably has more raisins than average. Theres probably 10 of these little fuckers in there But [Trump] is a fucking raisin monsoon, Oliver said, triggering an avalanche of raisins on his desk. He is ethically compromised to an almost unprecedented degree. So if you dont like raisins, I get it theyre disgusting. But unfortunately, this November, youre gonna have to swallow 10 or were all going to be eating this shit for years.
