Clinton gave her concession speech the day after the election. She said in it "We owe Donald Trump an open mind and a chance to lead."[1] She approved of Obama starting the transition process as soon as possible.

She didn't initiate a single court-case that tried to reverse the results of the election, or throw out votes. She didn't call up individual state electors to talk them into changing their vote.

There's a big difference in saying "my opponent may have broken the law/a foreign government tried to interfere in our election" vs. actually claiming that 7 million votes were fraudulently added and suing to overturn the results of a democratic election. I'm sorry if you can't see that the matter of scale is a serious distinction.
