I found this an interesting summary, given the whataboutism coming from The Right following Trump’s indictments.
The story you shared is a good read and does a great job explaining the difference between being (arguably) negligent handling classified information (Clinton, Biden) and one -intentionally- concealing one’s possession of classified information, lying to authorities, etc.
Of course, the people who most need to hear this are also the least likely to listen.
Yeah, it’s a case of “you really shouldn’t handle classified information that way” “Whoops, is this better?” vs. “You really shouldn’t handle classified information that way” “I didn’t! And even if I did (hides box behind back), it would be perfectly OK for me to do! This is all someone else’s fault!”
There’s a difference in severity, but really I’d like them all to go to prison. I do love the irony that Trump’s anger over Clinton not being charged led him to sign a law that made what he did a felony. Like he put the rake down walked a couple feet back and then proceeded to step directly on the rake.
