I work with many people who are so upset over this, calling it injustice and how horrible that we choose to prosecute Trump when we should instead be jailing Hillary, Harris, and Biden.
I bite my tongue and don’t say anything but it’s so frustrating.
As far as Hillary goes I am not sure why Trump's DoJ didn't hand down an indictment if it had evidence that she ultimately committed a crime? I guess the same is true for Hunter.
oh yeah! thank you for saying that :) trump had the doj under his control and still didn't have enough evidence to indict her. i would think that would shut up the "jail hillary and joe" crowd, but i guess they have super short term memory
To my knowledge and I am prefacing this with I could be wrong. In order to charge Hillary for the email incident they would have had to prove either Intent or Gross negligence and when it came down to Hillary I dont think the Doj had anything along the lines of these two factors, whereas trump and they even qoute him, hes talking about how the information is still classified but yada yada this happened, that fills the intent part and then for the gross negligence part they talk about how they found the boxes of files just strewn about everywhere in the club.
Feel free to correct me, this is just my understanding.
same here. i'm all for treating everyone as equal, but i'm pretty sure nothing new came up after hillary was already investigated and iirc biden was slapped on the wrist for not returning some documents. but hey, you know, one box is the same as rooms full of boxes, apparently
The difference seems to me, as far as I know (please correct me if I have missed something) is that Biden and related parties cooperated with getting the documents returned while Trump hid and tried to erase evidence that he had them. And I believe that some have yet to be found, potentially sold off.
noice 👌 and i know the news was telling me today, too, that the doj gave trump a chance to return all his documents earlier this year, and he returned, they said, like one box. way to be 👍 what did he think was gonna happen? they just never find the boxes that have become fixtures of his house?
I probably shouldn't, but I let those people know what I think. If they want to bring it up, they can hear what I have to say about it too.
