    There’s a big difference between making an honest mistake, giving everything that’s requested THE FIRST TIME it’s requested, and not lying or impeding the investigation. Admittedly, Biden was still probably treated more leniently than a lower-level peon who might’ve made the same mistake. By that same token though, Trump is getting treated with EXTREME leniency, given how much intentional fuckery he was doing around those classified documents. He should be in prison right now, that’s he’s not is utter bullshit.

    I got to explain this to a Trump supporter I was delivering to a couple weeks ago (he brought it up, of course). I thought he was going to fight me for a second when I told him “The difference was that Biden gave them back, the DoJ doesn’t spend this much time and money on something to just say “nevermind” & you should get mentally prepared for Trump spending the rest of his life in custody.”

    He still took delivery 🤷‍♂️😂

        The trick is to say it like it’s foregone conclusion & also the most boring thing you could possibly be talking about.
