    It’s debatable if any of these crimes are legit or if so at a prosecutable scale. He shouldn’t be prosecuted by democrats who don’t want him to run.

    Clinton violated various laws around classified data. The victim is the United States government and the people of the United States. She stored classified data on a personal email server knowing it was against federal law. She also try to avoid record retention laws by sending data to a private server and deleting it without it being reviewed or stored.

      Cool, so if Trump purposefully retained classified data knowing that it was against federal law, then he should be prosecuted too, right?

      And not be the GOP nominee?

        As president it’s debatable if he committed a crime.

        Biden as VP did commit a crime.

        So let’s prosecute both and throw in Hillary as well.

          It’s only “debatable” if you’re special pleading.

          Trump knowingly retained documents after he was told by law enforcement to return them.

          Biden told the archives that he had the documents and returned them ASAP, letting investigators search his properties.

          Trump gave investigators the runaround and moved stuff to avoid detection; and most notably: he was no longer president when he had those documents.

          Who was Biden’s victim? The archives didn’t even know he had them until he let them know.

            ASAP isn’t years later.

            Who was the victim? The people of the United States. Good got that an easy answer.

            The fbi even said Joe willfully kept the data knowing it was illegal but he’s too impaired to have committed a crime. lol.

              More dishonest rhetoric. Big surprise there.

              So it’s your belief that Trump victimized the American people? And you’re still going to vote for him?

              The fbi even said Joe willfully kept the data knowing it was illegal but he’s too impaired to have committed a crime. lol.

              This is a lie, you’re just mad that he was exonerated. They never said he kept them “willfully,” and “knowing it was illegal.”

              And who let the archives know that Biden had those docs as soon as they were discovered? Moreover, how can you inform someone that you have something if you’re ignorant of that fact?

      We have a place where we debate if something is a crime: court. The same court that said Hillary is innocent and Trump is guilty/a rapist/a fraud. It’s not perfect but it’s better than listening to internet armchair lawyers.

        Really which court said it wasn’t a crime?

        Which court said Trump is a guilty of rape?

        You’re just making things up now.
