alt Hacker NewsI'm asking you about Trump. Is he mentally unfit to be president now or was the prosecution actually politically valid?
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.

Yeah, when the Justice Department says "We'd like to check your house for classified info" saying "Nah, we good" is definitely an option.
