Hillary turned over the physical server with tens of thousands of emails. Wasn't perfect in her record keeping but it's clear it wasn't malicious or in an attempt to get out of anything.

Meanwhile we know for a fact Trump actively hid documents ahead of the raid and lied about doing a thorough search. So the situations aren't really comparable.

I'd like Hillary to have had some consequences but what she did is still only a tiny fraction as bad as what Trump has done.





From Trump's point of view (after being falsely accused, spied on, etc), for about 6 years... I hide stuff too.
This whole classified docs thing is a case of the left taking things seriously out of context.

It's like you shoot a gun at someone, then arrest him for ducking.

Yeah, you already said you reject the concept of evidence so why would I expect evidence to persuade you.


Are you asking me or trying to salvage your bruised ego by replying with some good ol' reddit snark?

You said nothing here that matters. Trump is not in any way in the right on this issue. If he didn't like how the FBI operated he can and did fire and rehire new staff.

Ok... let's look at this from a different angle.
Maybe those documents were docs Trump need to defend himself for Impeachmentgate, Insuurectiongate, Ukrainegate...etc.

We the public have no way of knowing, cause we've haven't seen any of these docs.

For all we know, we could only be getting one side of the story. We know the left controls the media... how can we "know" if any of what we hear is factual.

There is absolutely no hypocrisy here with how the DOJ is handling Trump vs Biden. It is patently obvious they bent over backwards for over a year to allow Trump to return the documents, and only took action when Trump willfully withheld documents and lied about it.

If Trump had just returned the documents when asked, or simply not obstructed them in retrieving the documents by hiding them then he wouldn't be getting charged.


The actual indictment lists numerous points which have nothing to do with obstruction, like gathering secret intel which in and off itself is a felony under the Espionage Act, and further stuff like that. So your argument boils down to "Trump and Biden (and Hillary) are both guilty of the charges Trump is being indicted for, but if Trump had complied, the feds would have treated them equitably in their non-enforcement of these charges."

Look, from a purely legal pov, this is a slam dunk case; Trump was a complete and utter dumbass here, he brought this on himself and I might even be inclined to say that this is the time when he will truly be done for. But if you charge Trump for the violation of articles in the Espionage Act which are independent from obstruction, then it reeks of politicized justice to not go after Biden for the same infringements.

This applies so well, you are a patient man to actually talk to these guys


You got me. Its always haunted me, my lowly pathetic 1560 when my brother got a 1600. Still ribs me about it to this day over the thanksgiving turkey. But he didn't get into Harvard either so its fair. Something something 'highly technical field no self importance here'. You sure the 'numerous and fast connections of the brain' route is a winner for you on PARD?

In my family we celebrate Thanksgiving by publicly flogging ourselves in the local Indigenous reservation as a sign of respect and unity, it isn't much but we like to give back.
