Well I agree that Clinton shouldn't be singled out. We have system issues that are bigger than one politician and party, such as campaign finance like you said.

Well accusing someone of being compromised is rather tough without evidence. We can have our suspicions based on their actions, but what if they TRULY believe that is the best way to govern the country? It's hard to say. It's one of the things I don't like to focus on because it introduces a lot of bias to a conversation. Instead we need to address the issue of money in politics (Citizens United for example). Singling out politicians though is a no-win situation.
I think both are important, depending on what the issue is. Individuals should still be critiqued for unethical conduct or bad policies, but that has to be accompanied with efforts to deconstruct whatever bigger system either creates or allows the behavior to continue.

Always beware of a politician going after another politician for a problem instead of the problem itself. That usually means they have no intention of addressing the problem itself (possibly because they benefit from it too) and only want to focus on the rule breaker, because he got caught.

Borgino discusses why he can't come out with some of the "dirt" he has on Hillary Clinton in this clip. He also makes it very clear, that he DID NOT swear an oath to cover for Hillary's "misdeeds."
