I'm not a moderate, sorry.
No. The two cases are quite different.
Let's review the Trump situation, shall we? In chronological order:
- Around two years ago, the National Archives tried to verify that Trump had returned any classified documents. This was no big deal, since they knew documents may have accidentally been removed when Trump vacated the White House. It happens.
- There were many, many communications back and forth. For months. They were told there were no more documents.
- When they couldn't get Trump to act, the Archives gave up and turned the case over to the Justice Department.
- The Justice Department contacted him, and once again, there were communications back and forth for months. They were told there were no more documents.
- The Justice Department finally gave up and served a subpoena for the documents.
- The Justice Department learned that he had not complied with the subpoena.
- The Justice Department then went to a judge, and showed probable cause (they were clearly getting ACCURATE LEAKS from TRUMP'S PEOPLE) and got a warrant.
- Upon executing the warrant, they discovered far more documents than they expected.
- This is when they began to receive tips, and then testimony, from Trump employees about the hiding and moving of documents.
- During this time Trump is waving these critical documents around to friends and admitting that he could no longer declassify them.
- A Grand Jury was empaneled, a full investigation began, and through text messages, emails, actual voice recordings, sworn testimony of Trump employees and Trump attorneys, and attorney's notes, it was concluded that Trump and his employees conspired to lie about the existence of the documents, kept critical documents in bathrooms and ballrooms (no, really) and literally moved boxes of documents around so that they would not be discovered.
- Trump was indicted, based on direct evidence and sworn testimony received from HIS OWN PEOPLE.
Anyone trying to compare or equate the above facts with what Pence or Biden have done is
a blatant liar.
