So...was Trump also too far gone? That means he shouldn't be president now.
Or did he do the same thing while being of sound mind? That means it wasn't a politically-motivated prosecution.
Logically it can only be one of these two. Tell me which one is right.
The Biden prosecutor is a registered Republican. The Trump prosecutor is an independent. You tell me who's more likely to be politically motivated.
I dunno, but I don't think it got in the official report like it did for Biden.
And the argument isn't "Biden took the documents home because of Alzheimers". The argument is "Biden took the documents home when in control of his faculties, but his Alzheimers was too far gone for him to be prosecuted."
And I notice you still haven't addressed the differences between the two cases. I've found most people of a certain political persuasion never do because it's too inconvenient for their narrative.
In one case, a guy was asked to return documents the authorities knew he had, he didn't and then had to be served a search warrant to retrieve them.
In the other, a guy found documents himself, told on himself and consented to a voluntary search to look for more.
Mens rea is an important variable to the chances of conviction. Juries can easily be convinced that honest mistakes happen; especially when the person who made the mistake turns themselves in.
Those two statements don't follow on from each other. I realise there is this big push to claim Trump has alzheimers now because it was an effective attack on Biden (due to being true) but it's not sticking with Trump. You may not like him, you may disagree with his decisions, but he's still as much Trump as he ever was.
>>In the other, a guy found documents himself, told on himself and consented to a voluntary search to look for more.
Yeah, when the Justice Department says "We'd like to check your house for classified info" saying "Nah, we good" is definitely an option.
Then you can't follow logic, sorry.
He had the documents, didn't report them, and refused to return them. That's fact, not commentary. He either did those things with a sound mind or without. That's logic.
Given these things, there are only two possible deductions. Criminal behavior that was deservedly prosecuted or unfitness for office today. Unless you believe he was crazy at the time, then became sane.
> Yeah, when the Justice Department says "We'd like to check your house for classified info" saying "Nah, we good" is definitely an option.
Well it was definitely an option one of these two guys used. Because he knew had people like you to call it "politically motivated" regardless of the facts.
The guy who cooperated was a sitting President at the time. He could've easily invoked executive privilege or some other BS. We know what the current guy would do.
No he did not.
Biden had some leftover documents that he turned over when told to. That is normal. It is quite literally part of secrets management to expect some stuff ends up uncontrolled and have processes and plans to recover it.
Trump had a secret stash of literal nuclear secrets in his meeting place with pretty much anyone willing to pay him, and denied having them, refused to turn them over, and denied everything again when he was finally raided and they found all that shit. People like you still insist somehow that this wasn't absurd on it's face.
Trump is the most sued president because Trump historically gets sued by everyone he talks to because, as he has literally told you to your face, that's his strategy, abuse everything and force it to go through the courts, because then you can bend those rules and slow down problems.
It's a bit much to say "he turned them over when he got caught". Yeah. no doubt.
If you're in possession of a calendar, you will notice that November 22, 2022 is actually before January 2023. You might also note the "consensual search" in your own quote.
So a normal person might conclude that the Justice Department called Biden after he reported on himself, and said "We see you said you had some documents, so maybe you forgot some more? Can we come search with you?" And Biden maybe said "Good idea."
