    New York I could see still going after him.

    But all the election trials would likely have faded away. Stern warnings from up top that “we are dropping this”, a focus on the underlings, etc.

      Why would they have faded away? He still broke the law in Georgia. And the documents scandal has nothing to do with the election.

        Because the law only matters to the extent that people are willing to enforce the law.

        And we have a long history of “We are done with this. it is time to heal” and pushing back on the rare occasions prosecutors do anything of value.

          Again, why would that have any bearing on the documents case? That has nothing to do with the election whatsoever.

            Sorry. You’re right. Cops and prosecutions always enforce exactly the law and nothing but the law and that is why fuckface has been in prison for decades now.

            I sure love living in a world where nobody has ever gotten away with breaking the law because they are white and it would be inconvenient or unseemly to charge them.

                Yeah… I would suggest you go read up on how classified documents are usually handled but you have already made it clear that you have difficulty comprehending anything but the most black and white situations.

                If nobody wants to charge trump? He “cooperated” and anything he leaked or showed others was a mistake. But he made a best effort and thus we have no reason to investigate this any further.

                Sensitive material protection is like 500% “best effort” and “intent”. Mostly because infrastructure and systems are set up so that it is almost impossible to not fuck up at least once in your career. But that also means that when the boss’s friend ignores policy, they get the benefit of the doubt. And so forth.

                  Please answer my question. Preferably without an unnecessary insult. Unless you’d rather I block you.

                    Oh god. Someone who clearly won’t read anything that doesn’t fit their world view threatening to block me?

                    Gasp! I now regret my words and deeds. Please don’t block me oh mighty and amazing person.

                    Jesus… we really are reddit.
