@Pooteris freaking spot on.
Iāve said it before and Iāll say it again: the best way forward is always to handle the current situation correctly.
Ya know Iām frankly surprised conservatives are making these arguments that Trump should be potentially let off the hook in the same way they feel Hillary was because that would be āfair.ā I always thought that conservatives agreed that āfairā meant not an equality of outcomes but by holding to a standard that gives an equality of opportunity.
The way I see it, both Hillary and potentially Trump mishandled classified, with various circumstances in each case. The standard is doing so is bad and there should be consequences.
The FBI declined to charge Hillary, although they did basically deep-6 her run at the presidency with the timing of their statements, and either way basically no one on any side thinks that case was handled correctly.
Ok, so thatās a āminusā when weāre shot/killing that engagement. FBI didnāt do their jobs no matter what you think of her guilt.
Does that mean when weāre evaluating the next shot any of that matters? No, it doesnāt. There is and should be a standard and we need to hold Trump to that. Weāre not weeks away from an election where heās on the ballot, he is a private citizen years out from any potential future office-seeking who was caught with classified at his house - handle that situation correctly.
Itās frankly bullshit to do anything different and call it āfairnessā and that type of argument in other contexts is often made by leftists who are equally wrong when they do it.
