If you are incapable of dealing in factual evidence but prefer belief in the narrative, please don’t watch this video. It will upset you. Better to disregard the provable facts presented in a video and live in fantasy land because the thought of finally realizing that they have been lying to you would crush you.

    Great, here’s another fact: according to the American bar association, the president doesn’t get to declassify anything he wants just by thinking about it.

    Another fact: if it was perfectly ok to keep those documents after leaving office, then there would have been no reason to lie about it.

    I’m not engaging in whataboutism here, I’m saying yes, this is bad, and so is that. It’s wrong for anybody to say the president or vice president should get a free pass to do whatever because he’s our guy on our side.

      We have agreement. Nice to read logical comments especially those that call for equal justice. But in the end we don’t. Trump was charged and biden was not. You live in a Clown World country as soon as equal justice ends

        I’m sorry to tell you that there has never been equal justice in the US of A. If you were unaware of that, congratulations! You have been living a life of privilege.

          I will agree with you that the rich always had unequal justice. My point was that with the corruption of our justice system now, anyone who supports the leftist agenda never suffers consequences

            Well it was William Barr (a staunch conservative) presiding over the Department of Justice when the Office of Legal Counsel gave the opinion rhat you can’t indict a sitting president. There’s nothing leftist about that, and really, you can’t have it both ways. So I don’t know what you mean.

                Yes I see. I must have got my timelines mixed up.

                Well my factual error notwithstanding, the part about “leftist agenda” and suffering consequences is not clear to me. If “leftist agenda” is a reference to workers rights then it doesn’t seem to me that the courts of this nation favor the proletariat at all. So I don’t understand what that means.
