OK, but you know Biden did more or less the same right? And just didn't get prosecuted because the prosecutor said he was too far gone mentally.

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.

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.
