Spare me the pompous hypocrisy about how the law applies equally to all. (Talking to you, MSNBC, NYT and others.) If so, Donnie would be frog-marched to the paddy wagon the instant they found the docs. Like Reality Winner. He'd immediately get his passport canceled. Like Edward Snowden. He'd be stripped naked pre-trial and put in a bare cell under "suicide watch." Like Chelsea Manning. So stop.
@davidisen those people were prosecuted for releasing secrets. Trump isn't accused of that, yet.
They never had the authority to have those documents. Trump did. He's not accused of having them, he's accused of keeping them after they were requested to be returned, lying about it and obstructing justice.
By this measure Joe Biden would have been frog marched.
Those news agencies are hypocritical but those examples aren't it.
Joe Biden didn’t do any of those things. Nor did Mike Pence. People are careless with documents from time to time like they were, and they are rarely if ever prosecuted.
