See this guy?
See this guy? Runs a big country. But he stepped on a turd recently when a rather small bunch of classified material was found in his possession. The media, in their own obscene fashion, have elevated this to the level of seriousness as that of the former president. But that’s hardly the case. This president, on finding out that he was. in fact in possession of these documents, immediately had them returned. Whereas the former president dicked around, obstructed the investigation, stalled and stalled and even tried to use the files are some so of a bargaining chip. Now the former guy’s lawyers are going to argue that the cases are similar. But if you really take the time to look at the cases, side by side, you will see that they are anything but. And that this guy’s offences are not even in the same ballpark as the former guy’s. But because everything in American politics has become so polarized, all egged on by the media, a lot of people will completely ignore the reality of this situation. Because too many people In America now only get their news from sources that are sympathetic to their political leaning. Too bad, because the objective reality of this situation is that these two cases have next to nothing in common. Hopefully, this all becomes clear as legal decisions get made.

I am no fan of the Former President. But the facts are not on his side on this one. This is not good for him.
