    I hear this from repubs, from time to time.

    However, I took a closer look at this, and......

    What democrats/liberals are republicans and you guys on the right talking about?

    In the last two administrations, we have these folks involved with the DOJ and indictments:

    SC Hur is not a liberal. (Republican)
    SC Mueller is not a liberal. (Republican)
    Acting AG Rosenstein is not a liberal. (Republican)
    AG Bill Barr is not a liberal. (Republican)
    US Atty David Weiss is not a liberal.(Republican)
    SC Jack Smith is not a liberal. (Independent)
    FBI Dir Jim Comey is not a liberal (Republican)
    FBI Dir Christopher Wray is not a liberal. (Republican)
    Fulton DA Fani Willis is probably a liberal ( Democrat. )
    NYC DA Alvin Brag is probably a liberal (Democrat)
    AG Merrick Garland is not a liberal. (Moderate/Independent)

    Out of 11, I see 2 dems?

    Not to mention this DOJ has charge Sen Bob Menendez and some other Dems for crimes, not ot mention Garland defended Trump twice, in court, on some matter.

    What was that about 'Democrats/liberals'?

    We are looking at right now. What we see is Biden getting off while Trump is being prosecuted.

    You say the situations are different. That fact remains that without question, Biden seriously violated the law and is not being prosecuted. Biden's crimes span decades.

    Biden, took documents and had them

    Trump, took documents and had them

    Neither trump nor Biden are being charged with any crime because of this.

    Biden, when asked for the documents back promptly gave them up to the appropriate authority's.

    trump, when asked for the documents back did not give them up to the appropriate authority's but instead tried to keep them.

    Biden is not being charged for keeping the documents because he gave them back when asked

    trump is being charged for keeping the documents because he did not gave them back when asked

    Here is the rule of thumb I use: every time I see somebody who is accused of a crime, defending themselves by attacking the accuser, but not to the facts in the case, that signals that they are more likely guilty.

    So while you see Biden defending him by pointing out the fact that he cooperated, returned the documents as soon as they were requested, and that he admitted to mistakes by his staff... You have MAGAs, on the other side, whose only defense is their "Deep State" Conspiracy Theory in which accusers, witnesses, judges, ... even jurors... committing the crime of "perjury". And the only reason is "because they hate Trump"

    Rational people will reach their own conclusions. And keep in mind that it's rational people who will determine if Trump goes to prison or not. NOT conspiracy theorists.

    And people who are Trump loyalists will ignore the ONLY relevant question... "WHY?"

    Kudos to @Cybred for trying to explain it to you. But it is a waste of time. It has the same effect as trying to explain to a Muslim terrorist who is about to fly a plane into a building that they WON'T get 72 virgins in heaven if they die a "martyr".

    Biden took documents when he was a senator and the VP. Then he shared the documents with his ghost writer.
    That's a lot worse than Trump -- Biden was not charged but Trump was charged.
    Hillary's emails were subpoenaed so she scrubbed them from her PC.
    Trump never destroyed any documents -- Hillary was not charged but Trump was.

    According to that logic, Biden should be prosecuted. The facts of the case are that Biden is guilty.

    The relevant question is whether Biden is guilty and he is.
    His logic is flawed by one simple fact. Trump had the right to possess those documents. Biden did not. The only issue with Trump is whether he had that right after he was no longer president and that has not been decided by a court of law.

    According to the REPUBLICAN Trump appointee, who spent years and millions of dollars investigating the case, and who has been praised for his "honesty" by MAGAs in this forum when he insinuated that Biden was old...

    "The evidence does not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Mr. Biden willfully disclosed national defense information in the notebooks to his ghostwriter "

    So again, we see how MAGAs simply ignore facts when their "leader" tells them to believe him and not anything they see with their "lyin' eyes".

    It is a SIMPLER fact that

    Trump intended to commit crimes
    Biden did not intend to commit crimes

    You only get charged if you're a republican.
    This would be a great story for the media -- but they're mostly lefties.

    This is what blind faith looks like. See how easy it is for this poster to block from his mind the fact that, in discussions about his idol, he vehemently argues that nobody is guilty until it's proven in a court of law.

    Doublethink...

    So if someone is appointed by a Republican he’s automatically a Republican but if he’s appointed by a Democrat he’s not necessarily a democrat. Got it.

    You're only charged if you commit a prosecutable crime. Your statement means, therefore, that only republicans commit prosecutable crimes.

    Not sure that's true but, for the purposes of this thread I'll accept your binary reasoning.... why not!

    He's a Republican because he SAID he's a Republican. Under oath!

    So theres a fundamental problem with your data collection, mainly that your pool is not representative of the population.
    Plus your conclusion can only be;
    1) conservatives are more criminal than liberals but are charged less.
    2) liberals are less criminal than conservatives but are charged more.

    Neither of which stands up to scrutiny.

    Who is “he”? You haven’t identified who you’re talking about, emphasizing in your post only the fact that he’s appointed by Trump and therefore is automatically a Republican.

    Clarify your fallacies please so they stop being fallacies

    Exactly!!! And most of the media is quick to point out when a person is conservative but they never call a person a liberal. When Hur completed his investigation, he should have turned his findings over to a grand jury. But he excused Biden. Same with Comey when he investigated Hillary. Comey excused Hillary. When Trump was investigated the info was turned over to a grand jury and he was indicted.

    God! Robert Hur!

    "...the REPUBLICAN Trump appointee, who spent years and millions of dollars investigating the case, and who has been praised for his "honesty" by MAGAs in this forum when he insinuated that Biden was old..."

    You jump into a discussion and you don't even bother to find out what it's about?
