    Ah, yes.

    I love when you ignore the point to focus on something else because you know I’m right.

    Predictable as clockwork.

    Now you’ll declare victory and run away.

      You’re not right. Nobody was prosecuted. The courts were not used. It’s apples and oranges.

        Maybe read what I actually said.

        It sounds like you’re fine with presidential candidates threatening to weaponize the courts so long as they’re lying and/or incompetent?

        You’d protest if Clinton actually got prosecuted then?

          I would. The legal system should not be a weapon for political opponents. While Hillary committed a crime and should be prosecuted; it shouldn’t be done by the opposition. It comes off as banana republic style.

            But if Trump committed a crime he should not be prosecuted?

            What crime did Clinton commit, and who were the victims?

              It’s debatable if any of these crimes are legit or if so at a prosecutable scale. He shouldn’t be prosecuted by democrats who don’t want him to run.

              Clinton violated various laws around classified data. The victim is the United States government and the people of the United States. She stored classified data on a personal email server knowing it was against federal law. She also try to avoid record retention laws by sending data to a private server and deleting it without it being reviewed or stored.

                Cool, so if Trump purposefully retained classified data knowing that it was against federal law, then he should be prosecuted too, right?

                And not be the GOP nominee?

                  As president it’s debatable if he committed a crime.

                  Biden as VP did commit a crime.

                  So let’s prosecute both and throw in Hillary as well.

                    It’s only “debatable” if you’re special pleading.

                    Trump knowingly retained documents after he was told by law enforcement to return them.

                    Biden told the archives that he had the documents and returned them ASAP, letting investigators search his properties.

                    Trump gave investigators the runaround and moved stuff to avoid detection; and most notably: he was no longer president when he had those documents.

                    Who was Biden’s victim? The archives didn’t even know he had them until he let them know.

                We have a place where we debate if something is a crime: court. The same court that said Hillary is innocent and Trump is guilty/a rapist/a fraud. It’s not perfect but it’s better than listening to internet armchair lawyers.
