WASHINGTON (AP) — As
former President Donald Trump prepares for a momentous
court appearance Tuesday on
charges related to the
hoarding of top-secret documents, Republican allies are amplifying, without evidence, claims that he is the target of a
political prosecution.
To press their case, Trump’s backers are citing the
Justice Department’s decision in 2016 not to bring charges against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, his Democratic opponent in that year’s presidential race, over her handling of classified information. His supporters also are invoking a
separate classified documents investigation concerning President Joe Biden to allege a two-tier system of justice that is punishing Trump,
the undisputed early front-runner for the GOP’s 2024 White House nomination, for conduct that Democrats have engaged in.

MORE ON THE INDICTMENT
“
Is there a different standard for a Democratic secretary of state versus a former Republican president?” said Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a Trump primary rival. “I think there needs to be one standard of justice in this country.”
But those arguments overlook abundant factual and legal differences — chiefly relating to intent, state of mind and deliberate acts of obstruction — that limit the value of any such comparisons.
HRC's conduct, while less than honorable, she did not in any break the law.
The Rapist and Traitor fought the search of Shit-A-Lago with lawyers in court. The Rapist and Traitor tried and failed to quash the search warrant.
The Rapist and Traitor moved boxes of Classified Documents out of the WH and took them to Shit-A-Lago, he stored boxes of Classified Documents in a ******* bathroom.
HRC was NEVER ******* INDICTED.
The Rapist and Traitor was
INDICTED ON 37-Counts....31 of those counts were violating the Espionage Act of 1917.
Stop with ******* lame ass whataboutery. It don't work.
