Here we go with some standard Clinton negativity.... say what you want, but IMO she's way better than Trump... he wasn't among the worst... he IS the worst. (His MAGA cult is the worst thing any politician has done to this country.) NO DEBATE NECESSARY.

Also, we are way past "what about-isms"... one party has clearly "run off the rails".

JUST READ: Justice Dept asks court to keep Mar-a-lago search warrant affidavit UNDER SEAL -  "Disclosure at this juncture of the affidavit supporting probable cause would, by contrast, cause significant and irreparable damage to this ongoing criminal investigation".

Trump's head just exploded if he read the parts about witnesses and continuing criminal investigation!

-C!

Not criticizing Clinton to elevate Trump.  Read my posts.  I never said Trump was good.

If you read my posts, you'd see I never mentioned that you said Trump was good... regardless, this thread is really ABOUT Trump. 

Let's move on, shall we?

"... regardless, this thread is really ABOUT Trump. Let's move on, shall we?"

Part of the discussion has been Trump's claim that others, including Clinton, have mishandled/removed classified documents without having been subjected to search warrants and criminal prosecution.

I only went into detail about Clinton because Rebecca argued that Clinton didn't do anything wrong.

There is a problem here that is bigger than Trump: If one ascends to prominence in Washington, they become immune to prosecution...for almost anything.

Whichever party is in power will endlessly investigate the other, and expose the other side's corruption for political purposes.  They'll even impeach each other.  But any consequences always stop short of criminal prosecution.  

People have been dishonorably discharged from the military, prosecuted, and sent to prison for much less egregious mishandling of classified information than we saw with Clinton.  But she gets a pass.

Likewise, Trump will NEVER be arrested or charged with anything he did in connection with Jan 25 or his possession of any of the documents seized by the FBI.  The only concern here is to make sure he doesn't run again. 

Around 2007 or 2008 I took a political science class at UNLV.  The professor was Dina Titus.  Titus served in the NV State Senate from 1988 - 2008, during which she was the minority leader for 16 years.  Then she was elected to the U.S. Congress, and has been serving there ever since.  Titus was a political science professor for 34 years.  

This very topic came up in class.  She acknowledged the existence of an unwritten understanding that leaders in both parties will avoid criminally prosecuting high profile members of the opposing party, because when power shifts to the other party, they don't want themselves or their peers to be vulnerable to prosecution.  At the end of the day, no matter how aggressive their rhetoric against each other may be, these people have got each others' backs.
