@SQUEEKY2 I assume that was pointed at me. The problem is that when a Democrat does something sketchy, the reaction is non-existent often, usually has to be pushed before it is agreed that something should be at least looked at. Before that it is called a conspiracy theory with a whole lotta WhataboutTrump thrown in.
If you notice, what I said here is pretty much the same thing I say all the time. Get the facts and deal with them. Sadly that isn’t what usually comes from the left when it comes to Trump. someone makes a claim and you guys start immediately with how many years in prison he will get for doing that crime. You skip the whole thing of gathering facts and dealing with them or you treat the accusation as proof of the crime.
I don’t cut Republicans slack for doing illegal things. I hold them all to the same level of accountability that you and I would be held to. You can see that with my answer here. Look into it. Get the facts. On the surface I’d say to hold him to the same level of accountability I said we should hold Hillary and Biden (and now Pence as well). He does not have the authority to declassify materials, he isn’t allowed to have classified materials on a random laptop…pretty much text book. I’m interested in finding out what the materials are and how they got there. Did someone send them to him? Was the laptop used previously by someone that had clearance for the Confidential material and it is legacy garbage on the laptop? These don’t excuse them being there in my mind. Turning over the laptop to the DoJ doesn’t make it okay that they were there to start with.
