So criticizing the FBI makes Trump fair game for whatever the DOJ/FBI wants to do to him?All three of them didn't spend years demonizing the FBI, like Trump did.
I know Democrooks believe that, but you're the first I've seen admitting it.
(at my house if there was an anonymous report that I had classified documents at my house) Yes, if they had reason to believe that i had kept classified documents from my job, a search warrant would have been reasonable. The difference is that they would not find anything and I could be confident that they would have no reason to bring documents in their cargo pants to claim to have found. But then, I haven't spent years demonizing the FBI. Thank you for acknowledging that that is what made the difference between one politican and the others. Use of free speech.As they should have been.
I think you mean probably so, that senior officials to take work home.Probably not, because mostly when you are a senior official, there's very little distinction between your home and office life.
What was in the documents that Hillary destroyed without letting the FBI see them because she deemed them not relevant? If you don't know the answer to that, your argument in regards to her falls apart.So the real question here is, what was the INTENT of the principles involved in retaining documents after their service had ended.
In the case of Hillary, the documents in question were usually at the bottom of an email that someone else sent her electronically. She was careless in using her personal devices for government business, to be sure, but the government devices were probably about ten years behind in technology,
I watched a lot of the Hillary grilling on Capitol Hill and I never remember her justifying her private server by saying that State Department technology was too outdated for her. They asked her if she had wiped her server and she said, "like with a cloth?" so I don't think she is a technology wonk that would be annoyed by slow equipment. Her server was less secure than if she had had a gmail account. So, she did not bother to hire the best technicians.
No, they did not do "the same thing." Neither one of them had a physical server at their house filled with classified information.and Condi Rice and Colin Powell did the same thing.
In the days surrounding the revelations about Hillary's operating a private server to keep her correspondence as Sec State away from the Dept State, Colin Powel was discovered to have two - count 'em two - documents in his private account that were not marked classified but were later determined by someone to have information classified at the CONFIDENTIAL level. Rice used no email during her time as secretary, but her staff was found to have about ten classified documents in improper email accounts.
Any comparison between those two and Hillary is absurd. No coincidence that you chose two black people to throw under the bus. That story makes Rice sound like the smartest person in the room - again.
That is not clear, that is spin. We don't know enough details about either to make that claim. It is much more likely that Pence had documents at his home because he was the vice president of the United States and he worked from early to rise to late to bed. Pence has earned respect from both sides of isle as a man of integrity, so he deserves the benefit of the doubt.In the case of Biden and Pence, it's pretty clear that when clearing their offices, underlings packed documents in the wrong boxes. The Archives weren't even aware these documents were missing. Again. No criminal intent.
Biden, on the other hand, is a political gangster who is known for his self-enrichment and enrichment of his son who funneled money to him in the form of 50K rent on his own father's house. When a pile of classified documents are found stored in a home that his son who was employed by corrupt adversaries of the U.S. has access to, the innocent explanation shouldn't be the first go-to.
You already said that the FBI conducted the raid in retaliation for Trump's mean tweets about them. Don't backpedal now after I complimented your honesty. I wouldn't call Trump a political gangster, since he did not need his office to enrich himself. But he is a political hustler, so he also doesn't deserve to have his actions interpretted in the most innocent light.Trump, on the other hand, after being impeached twice and trying to overthrow democracy, snuck out of the White House with boxes he was directly told he wasn't allowed to have, and fought with the FBI for months before they finally got sick and tired of his shit and raided his home/golf club after his own family ratted him out.
He wanted to keep those "documents with classified markings" (not "classified documents") for a reason. I believe that he wanted to keep the Crossfire-Hurricane documents that he declassified in writing and ordered the DOJ to release. They never released those documents (so much for "Trump's DOJ"), but he kept a copy or two so he could release them himself some day.
That is my theory, but the FBI is welcome to indict Trump and prove otherwise.
When you think they'll get around to that?
