> **The defendants have not identified anyone who has engaged in a remotely similar suite of
willful and deceitful criminal conduct and not been prosecuted. Nor could they.** Indeed, the
comparators on which they rely are readily distinguishable. For example, their primary comparator
is Joseph R. Biden, whose conduct is described in the recently issued Report of the Special Counsel
on the Investigation Into Unauthorized Removal, Retention, and Disclosure of Classified
Documents Discovered at Locations Including the Penn Biden Center and the Delaware Private
Residence of President Joseph R. Biden, Jr., by Special Counsel Robert K. Hur (“Hur Report”).
But as the Hur Report itself recognizes, “several material distinctions between Mr. Trump’s case
and Mr. Biden’s are clear.” Hur Report at 11; id. at 250. **Most notably, Trump, unlike Biden, is
alleged to have engaged in extensive and repeated efforts to obstruct justice and thwart the return
of documents bearing classification markings. And the evidence concerning the two men’s
intent—whether they knowingly possessed and willfully retained such documents—is also starkly
different**, as reflected in the Hur Report’s conclusion that “the evidence falls short of establishing
Mr. Biden’s willful retention of the classified Afghanistan documents beyond a reasonable doubt.”
Hur Report at 204 (capitalization altered); see id. at 250 (“Unlike the evidence involving Mr.
Biden, the allegations set forth in the indictment of Mr. Trump, if proven, would clearly establish
not only Mr. Trump’s willfulness but also serious aggravating facts.”). The defendants’ request for
discovery on a selective prosecution theory can be denied on this basis alone.

Trump is such a narcissistic (enter the c-word here).
In other news, water is wet.
Hey Biden give em back yer not allowed to have those
Oh shit sorry, here they all are, search anywhere, come right now
Hey Trump give em back yer not allowed to have those
crickets
Hey Trump give em back yer not allowed to have those
crickets
Hey Trump give em back yer not allowed to have those
crickets
Hey Trump give em back yer not allowed to have those
I got some, let me look, I’m allowed to have these ones
No, give them all back
Okay here they are
Is that all of them
Yes
Hey Trump there are still some missing, give em back yer not allowed to have those
crickets
Okay search Mar a Lago
HOW DARE YOU RAID MAR A LAGO
Holy shit look at what he had, he is FUCKED, charge him
—————–
Yes, Trump was worse.
Breaking news: the earth is round
“See as president I could have declassified it,” Trump says. “Now I can’t, you know, but this is still a secret.”
“Now we have a problem,” his staffer responds.
“Isn’t that interesting,” Trump says.
Objectively.
Get him, Jack!
duh!
Isn’t mishandling classified documents illegal by anyone?
Every sane person knows these cases are not comparable. One person was driving one mile an hour over the speed limit on the interstate and the other went 100 through a school zone.
We know.
Hold him accountable.
No shit
Who gives AF we literally just want healthcare.
Both seem pretty bad to me, but I guess I’m weird about how I think classified documents should be moved around and stored. At least Biden wasn’t being a ridiculous pissbaby about the whole thing like Trump, and, yknow, probably not fucking selling secrets to the highest bidder.
Far worse doesn’t fully reflect Jack Smith’s response:
“The defendants have not identified anyone who has engaged in a remotely similar suite of willful and deceitful criminal conduct and not been prosecuted. Nor could they,” assistant special counsel David Harbach wrote.
“Trump, unlike Biden, is alleged to have engaged in extensive and repeated efforts to obstruct justice and thwart the return of documents bearing classification markings,” Harbach added. “And the evidence concerning the two men’s intent — whether they knowingly possessed and willfully retained such documents — is also starkly different.”
He’s a fucking broke ass grifter .Trump is a cancer.He has no money
Like, criminally worse.
Let’s do this already. Put the orange stain in jail then.
Biden didn’t sell secrets to Russia and Saudi Arabia, for one thing.
Well fuck Jack, I hope so…
No shit.
well obviously. it’s frustrating such bullshit false equivalences even have to be addressed.
We have no clue the extent of the crime. But we already know it’s very very bad and the attempt to cover it up was overt. It can only get worse from here.
Biden didn’t sell to anyone, tump hawked them to anyone who would pay.
Whelp, Biden wasn’t going anywhere to sell them.,,
Trump had his lackey drain the swimming pool to FLOOD THE SERVER ROOM, which was the same room they suspiciously steered investigators away from. Trump has a history of conveniently losing documents to flooding.
The dude stole national secrets, is already on tape revealing them to people who shouldn’t have access, lied about having them, and lied about having returned all of them.
He obstructed the investigation into his theft of top secret material. He’s also facing half a billion dollars in legal penalties. Do the math.
Intent is huge in cases that go to trial.
That’s a fucking understatement.
And the far left thinks Biden is just as bad as Trump, will continue to have Trumps maniac behavior paraded in front of them, but still cling on to the Jill Steins as if she is the fucking answer and preach they will not help prevent Trump from getting elected. The evidence is staggering that this fucking asshole should be nowhere near a nuclear football.
Then why is he still walking freely? “Lock him up”
Ya think?
Yep. There’s a reason were not mad at Pence for doing this.
We’re mad at him for all the other horrible shit he did.
“There has never been a case in American history in which a former official has engaged in conduct remotely similar to Trump’s,”
This should be in a campaign ad
Every secret document he had was marked “signed out to WH”. There is a strict chain of custody. They know EVERY missing doc and what was in it.
Biden had a few items in the garage and some notes. He co operated, the orange guy lied, stonewalled, moved documents, and no doubt sold many of them.
Agents disappeared. Technical hacks disappeared. The true damage must be immense.
Benedict Arnold and Major Andre were traitors. Trump is an actual enemy agent.
