Show me the legal precedent that allows a sitting President to go after his predecessor for possessing classified documents taken when he was President?
Really? Precedent means that you're holding Trump to the same standard that you've held others in the past, Marener. So show me where any other former President has been charged as Trump has been charged! If you can't...then you can't claim that Trump isn't subject to the same laws as everyone else. He's actually subject to laws that nobody else has been which violates one of the main tenets of our legal system...equal justice under the law!He did not have the authority to KEEP those documents when he did.
Show me the precedent that says former presidents aren’t subject the same laws as everyone else.
Former presidents haven’t done what Trump has done. Obama hasn’t. Bush hasn’t. Clinton hasn’t.Really? Precedent means that you're holding Trump to the same standard that you've held others in the past, Marener. So show me where any other former President has been charged as Trump has been charged! If you can't...then you can't claim that Trump isn't subject to the same laws as everyone else. He's actually subject to laws that nobody else has been which violates one of the main tenets of our legal system...equal justice under the law!
That would be section two of the Constitution which names the President Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces. Which makes him the ultimate authority on classification.

Joe BidenWhat former president is hatching plots to overturn an election? What former president has stolen classified documents and then refused to return them, even after being subpoenaed, then hiding them from the FBI? Name me the president who has done committed those crimes and wasn't indicted afterwards for it.
