It's more the fact that Hillary's campaign funding has to be reported, but the Clintons won't reveal where donations to the Presidential Library are coming from, for example. And she put 5 million of her own money into that campaign, if it came from someone shady via Bill than it will look really bad. And honestly the more the Clintons protest the more it looks like they have something to hide.

I think it's hard for anyone as currently rich as the Clintons to pass off the "common man" thing, but they've both claimed to represent the interest of the working class. The Obama's are rich today, but I don't think it probably compares to how much any former president can pimp himself out if he wants to.
Because it's the Clintons, I suspect they do have things to hide. I'm not saying Republicans are cleaner, but the Clintons are more financially compromised in a personal way that most politicians, I think. With others, it may be someone doing shady things on behalf of an industry or business connection, with the Clintons, they're usually tied in directly and it can be traced more easily, or so it seems to me.
