I guess the major difference is that when 18.5 minutes of an audio tape disappeared, a President resigned in disgrace after articles of impeachment were drawn up including the charge of possibly using the IRS to target the administrations political enemies. When 2.5 years of emails possibly showing another administrations use of the IRS to target its political enemies disappear, nothing happens. Other than that, they're just alike.

If President Nixon had simply told us "There's not a smidgen of corruption", I'm sure that whole episode would have turned out differently.
