U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, the chamber's top Republican, said on Thursday that the indictment of Donald Trump was a "dark day" for the United States and that he stood with the former President.
"House Republicans will hold this brazen weaponization of power accountable," he wrote on Twitter.

If they had held this precedent before, or if they'd hold Democrats to this same standard then I'd be on board, but they didn't and they don't. This is fascism, they've weaponized the federal government to target and crush their political opponents. Democrats are some of the worst people on the planet.

Yes, I read it. That is why I asked you the questions. I'll ask again: you don't think it's possible a crime may have been committed? How would you be reacting if Obama did what Trump is accused of?

You clearly missed my first line then:

That doesn't answer either of the questions. You haven't said whether you think it's possible a crime may have been committed, and you haven't said how you would react if Obama was guilty of the same thing. You seem to be avoiding answering these questions for some reason.

It did answer the question, though, you just don't like the answer. A former president taking their own "classified" documents is nothing out of the ordinary, especially when the person did previously have the power to declassify. Biden took tons of classified docs when he was VP and never had the power to declassify. No charges against him, Hillary stored classified docs on her own private server, no charges. So again, as I said, the double standards is what is ****ed here.

Oh. I see now, you're just not that informed. The documents that Biden had were not illegally removed from their proper location. He legally had them in his possession at his home office while he was VP. When his term ended a very small number were still at his home office because when you're handling thousands of documents, some are bound to slip through the cracks. These documents were discovered and recovered after an investigation that Biden fully complied with.
The documents in Trump's possession were not in possession by accident. He took them as he was leaving the White House after his presidency had ended. After the government realized these documents were missing they asked for them back, which Trump did not initially comply with. Eventually he did give some back, claiming everything was returned. It turns out that wasn't true. The FBI found out that many documents had been moved to a different location seemingly to evade seizure. When they couldn't get Trump to hand them over they raided his offices and recovered all of the missing documents they could find. Still some are reported to be missing.
This is nothing like what Biden did. This is a serious violation that could be criminal. The federal government isn't going to indict a former president unless they have real strong reason to. At first they attempted to resolve this entire matter without any conflict and they gave Trump multiple chances to comply. He didn't comply and appears to have obstructed the investigation. This has nothing to do with politics like the last indictment. This one is real. Trump is in very serious trouble.

OK, so as expected, you're making excuses for this activity when it's a Democrat. You're full of **** and you're a hyper partisan scum bag who holds no standards, which is why you think Trump should be indicted for something that Democrats have done the exact same thing. We got it, you're a dishonest hack. Shut the **** up, you're nothing more than a useful idiot for the left.

No, it's bullshit. What Biden did was worse, you guys on the left are just making **** up.
