Fresh from peddling conspiracy theories about Vice President Kamala Harris using artificial intelligence to create fake photos of large crowds at her rallies, former President Donald Trump has now come up with a new gambit: suing the United States Department of Justice.Fox News reports that Trump is...
Edward Snowden compromised national security by stealing and leaking top secret information. He had to immediately flee the country and find the most Rube-Goldberg path available to eventually end up in Russia, where he hides as a wanted fugitive to this day and would spend the rest of his days in ADX-Florence if he were ever caught.
Donald Trump compromised national security by stealing top secret information and storing it in a country club bathroom. Rather than having to flee the country to avoid prosecution, he is able to freely fly around the country and around the world as a free man and is now trying to sue the DOJ for conducting the raid in the first place, despite the DOJ not even being able to confirm they even have all the documents back.
Regardless of your opinion of Edward Snowden and his actions, his case is one of many, many examples of the two-tier system of justice in this country.
And IMO, any lawyer willing to file a case this frivilous and meritless should be at the very least censured if not outright disbarred for making a mockery of the judicial system and wasting the court’s time. I get that anyone can sue anyone for anything, but if Trump wants to make a political statement by filing this crap, let him file it his fucking self.
Hillary Clinton had classified emails in a private, password-protected server. Conservatives have spent over a decade frothing at the mouth, calling for her head. The DOJ announced that they would investigate her two weeks before the 2016 election, possibly dooming her campaign.
Donald Trump had classified documents in a box in the shitter at his private residence while a Russian envoy was there, and conservatives think that’s all cool.
It’s easy to understand once you accept a couple of premises about a large part of the republican base:
I think there’s a more fundamental thing with your item 3. They are fascists. The one thing they value most is white supremacist hierarchy. They do not give a single fuck about truth or integrity if those conflict with supporting the hierarchy.
You forgot “multiple other envoys and staff there said he would show random visitors said classified documents”.
Donald sold access to those documents to foreign adversaries. He is basically the exact opposite of Snowden on this one.
