>>The predominant reason someone like Biden or Bush doesn’t get prosecuted is because they don’t do this shit.

Biden mishandled secret documents but escaped prosecution by being mentally unfit. He kept them in his garage, I believe.

Bill Clinton hid secret documents in his sock drawer.

Hillary had her secret email server with classified information on.



“this shit” was not a referent to mishandling classified material.

It was a referent to Trump having thousands of documents, including nuclear secrets and other SCIF material.

Please provide evidence of any of these other people doing it with nuclear secrets.

Please provide evidence of these other people risking national security by giving access to their sock drawers or email servers. Trump lets anyone into Mar A Lago. Anyone including known Chinese spies: https://www.npr.org/2019/09/11/759906611/chinese-woman-who-b...

Here’s a convenient wikipedia article summarizing sources and showing you pictures of what Trump did: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/FBI_search_of_Mar-a-Lago

You honestly think these behaviors are equivalent or comparable severity?


Biden had SCIF material.

I'm pretty sure Trump doesn't let just anyone into the rooms where the secret documents were. You realise Mar a Lago is a 17 acre country club, right? It's not a 3 bedroom house.

And if you think Gmail is secure you need to read up on the DNC email leak.


You followed up with more accusations without evidence, so I’ll stop engaging after this.

But to your point about where they were, that would be a public bathroom amongst others: https://www.cnn.com/2023/06/09/politics/heres-where-donald-t...

So yeah. I do think he completely and openly abused our country and everything it stands for, by letting anyone into those rooms, exactly as you implied. We know for a fact that ONE Chinese spy has been caught. I linked it already. So for all the other spies that weren’t caught - including Israeli, German, Russian, etc - they know exactly what Trump had. It’s a shame we don’t.

My assumption is that he wasn’t prosecuted for treason because the documents weren’t actually valuable. Classified doesn’t mean important, just that we obey laws about it.
