. The Justice Department decision about whether to charge Mr. Trump with unlawful possession of government documents has spawned a parallel decision over legal action against a president of the attorney-general’s own party.
From the start, it has been clear that amid all the legal investigations into Mr. Trump’s business, personal and political activities – including his efforts to overturn the 2020 election and his role in fomenting the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the Capitol – the one that had the best chance of initiating federal charges involved his possession of secret documents in his Mar-a-Lago home.
Probes into Biden, Trump’s handling of documents prompt questions about what consequences may await them Both presidents now are subject to special counsels who will make recommendations to Attorney-General Merrick Garland. The two counsels are not co-ordinating their investigations. They will issue separate findings to the Justice Department. Mr. Garland will make separate decisions on the two matters.
Fairness, or at least perceived fairness, will make it exceedingly difficult for Mr. Garland to proceed with federal charges against one without doing so against the other. It won’t matter whether one president’s documents are more sensitive than the other’s, or whether one had more documents than the other, or even whether one sought to obstruct justice while the other did not.
I don't think you understand the concept of justice. One crime does NOT cancel out another.
Where's the line between flawed journalism (opinion represented as fact) and disinformation? Better be cautious because you're getting awfully close.
Nonsense
While the cases are not at all similar, a large segment of the US public will equate them. The only positive for the Dems is that it may help in persuading Biden deciding not to run in 24.
Love your fantasy 'analysis' one doesn't cancel out the other. Also, Biden immediately dealt with the issue, Trump obfuscated for 8 months, and he had nuclear secrets - Biden didn't. Try reporting not posting your love letters to the big orange tRumpster. pathetic MAGAMoron
No. Of course not. Biden scandal: 'Hey, we found some docts. Here they are. We'll check to see if there are any others. Yup, here they are.' Trump scandal: (2 yrs later & 100s of docts later) 'No. They're mine. I don't have any. I disclassified them with my mind.'
This headline suggests that Law is not ubiquitous but subject to change depending on the political affiliation of the offender.
Nope. But nice try.
