How muddying the waters works

Someone commented upon the story linked below, and made a comparison between Trump and Clinton.  No, this is not correct.  Whatever Trump may be, Clinton is far, far worse.  But this is how muddying the waters helps the Clintonoids.

If the investigation of Clinton proceeded far enough, they would find evidence of pedophilia.  I have heard stories about it...

But nothing has been proven yet about Trump.  Yet they make the comparisons.  That's how it works.
