    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.

                ASAP isn’t years later.

                Who was the victim? The people of the United States. Good got that an easy answer.

                The fbi even said Joe willfully kept the data knowing it was illegal but he’s too impaired to have committed a crime. lol.

                  More dishonest rhetoric. Big surprise there.

                  So it’s your belief that Trump victimized the American people? And you’re still going to vote for him?

                  The fbi even said Joe willfully kept the data knowing it was illegal but he’s too impaired to have committed a crime. lol.

                  This is a lie, you’re just mad that he was exonerated. They never said he kept them “willfully,” and “knowing it was illegal.”

                  And who let the archives know that Biden had those docs as soon as they were discovered? Moreover, how can you inform someone that you have something if you’re ignorant of that fact?

                    Joe was not exonerated. The report clearly said he wasn’t being punished because if mental capacity.

                    He knew he had them and most likely showed them to an author. The fbi couldn’t prove it because of joes diminished mental capacity. It’s in the report.

          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.

            Really which court said it wasn’t a crime?

            Which court said Trump is a guilty of rape?

            You’re just making things up now.

                No. You just have no clue what you are talking about.

                Comey isn’t a court. It’s why he was fired was he’s unorthodox handling of the case. So which court said it wasn’t a crime? Court. Not fbi.

                That’s a civil case. Civil cases find you liable and not guilty. They couldn’t do a criminal case because they knew the evidence would be sufficient for a criminal conviction. In most states, the civil case would have been kicked out because of lack of evidence. Yet banana republic courts took it anyways.

                Either way, as expected you were wrong on both items.

                    The goal post isn’t moved. You just don’t know what you are talking about. That’s fine, admit it, learn and then have a more informed opinion.

                    Also in the civil case, he was going liable for sexual assault, not rape. The judge for some reason felt the need to clarify when the jury disagreed.
