Right or wrong, if this were any other former president, or if Trump wasn't a candidate, or this wasn't an election season, the issue would have been settled in a flurry of court battles with no charges being filed. The willful retention of classified documents is what would normally require imprisonment. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much like spoiled rich people or even season ticket holders do...Don't you know who I am? At the beginning, it could have been because of ignorance or negligence. But after one year of being asked by the NARA to give documents back, and most of all after he hid some documents and lied about it, it leaves no doubt thattherevwas intent. What motivated him? Vanity? Or was it a sign of his growing dementia? 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you understand the difference between personal notes and official USG documents with classification markings? Apparently not. Reagan, Biden and Pence took home personal notes, some of which had classified data. All cooperated with authorities when found, and a precedent was set under Reagan that no prosecution would take place. trump stole a wide range of highly classified documents, not personal notes. He is not allowed to take nor possess them. When told to give back what he stole, he lied and said he had returned everything. When the DoJ was informed trump lied, they authorized the FBI search. Perhaps you can explain why a wedding planner needs things such as war plans, identities of clandestine sources in hostile nations, the capabilities of hostile nations' militaries, etc.? Should all country club and wedding planner companies be given the same documents, as it must be an integral part of the business? 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skipalongcassidy Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 On 4/5/2024 at 12:41 AM, candide said: Easy question. Trump refused to give some documents back, hid them, and lied about it. (to keep it simple). For more details, you can use Google. But both cases were of the same "crime"... having the classified documents in the first place... trump claims a right to have them... joe claims forgetting about them... not withstanding that trump "refused" to return them and joe (when found out) apologized and returned them... the initial "crime" remains the same... but the prosecution is not equal.

You are absolutely wrong, Google "what was trump charged with un the classified documents case" then use some of that by now famous critical thinking( ) and see if there are any evidence by which Biden could be charged of the same. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would take you through the differences, but you would forget everything the next day. Let me ask you a question: why did Trump try to hide the classified documents at Mar-A-Lago? I wouldn't even bother reading them. Did he try and hide them? Isn't that part of what the court case has to determine. Neither you nor I were in Mar a Lago at the time to know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaibeachlovers Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 25 minutes ago, Danderman123 said: Nope. Trump refused to return the classified documents, whereas Biden returned them immediately. Nope. They wanted to get Trump so they conflated a minor administrative case into a major legal case. The entire situation has been very badly done political theatre IMO. The court case has not yet concluded, so you are unable to say for sure that he refused, or just wanted to have a discussion about them before handing them over or not. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can a criminal just hand back the proceeds of a burglary and face no charges? He wasn't let off because he is innocent, but apparently because the investigator concluded he was too pathetic to be convicted by a jury. Yet that same too pathetic to convict man is POTUS.

First of all... trump is not being charged with "stealing" classified documents... so which is worse... having documents in one's possession that you are not only permitted to have and are aware that you have them... or having "forgotten" or "misplaced" documents that you took an oath to protect when you received your security clearance as vice-president?

Trump knew the law, which is why he tried to hide presidential records. More to the point, a jury cannot determine the law, only whether someone broke the law. If Judge Cannon is unclear on basics of the law, the 11th Circuit court will educate her, or take her off the case.
