Your sense of Justice is pretty pitiful. You clearly believe some people are above the law. Maybe we should start selling and awarding people No Jail cards. If you’re rich you can purchase enough cards to avoid any prosecution. And let’s not prosecute any politicians for any crimes.
It’s becoming more and more clear that Trump broke the law. Then instead of just returning the documents he went through the trouble of trying to hide them so he could keep them. Then he made up some silly and relatively easy to debunk lies of why and how he kept the documents.
All of this is self inflicted. He coulda returned the docs and this would have all gone away. Instead he left the govt no option but to launch a full scale investigation ending with an indictment on a pretty serious crime.
And it’s pretty clear, from his own words caught on tape in 2021, that he had secret military plans to attack Iran, knew they were classified, knew he didn’t and couldn’t declassify them and that he had the doc in the presence of people without clearance to see them. All because there was an article about Milley that he didn’t like.
Tiny, it’s pretty sad that you want to see folks just break the law and walk just because they are rich or politicians.

He's not rich or a politician, and I'm sure the DOJ and FBI would believe what Assange did was a lot more egregious. And, unlike what Trump did with the records at Mar a Lago, harmful to America.
I'm going to sound like a broken record. We've historically had the highest incarceration rate in the world. The Democrats want to put the Republicans in jail and the Republicans want to put the Democrats in jail. Democrats want to incarcerate white businessmen and Republicans want to incarcerate young black men. Yeah, if people are guilty of violent crime, fraud and the like, put them behind bars. But possession of drugs, paying off porn stars and keeping confidential records at your house don't cut it IMHO.
If the DOJ is going after Trump, do if for the alternate sets of electors. For the pressure on mainly Republican election officials. Maybe even for January 6. You put me on a jury for one of those cases with eleven angry Democrats and you might just not have a hung jury.
