You've got blinders on. Even Jon Stewart (who hates Trump) is willing to stick out his neck and call a spade a spade on this topic.

There was a special counsel dedicated to Biden's document investigation and the person leading it was a Trump-appointed lawyer who said there was a clear difference between the two cases[0]. You should note that Biden was not charged by that counsel as there wasn't enough evidence that he willfully retained the documents. > Hur’s report says the differences between the two cases are “clear.” Unlike Biden — who cooperated with investigators, agreed to searches of his homes and sat for a voluntary interview — the allegations in Trump’s case present “serious aggravating facts,” Hur wrote. > For instance, prosecutors say, after the Justice Department issued a subpoena for the records in May 2022, Trump asked his own lawyers if he could defy the request and said words to the effect of, “I don’t want anybody looking through my boxes.” > “Wouldn’t it be better if we just told them we don’t have anything here?” one of his lawyers described him as saying, according to the indictment. I do not care about what Jon Stewart says either, lol. 0: https://apnews.com/article/classified-documents-biden-trump-special-counsel-b5589ea8f066ede51c8138665f108f7a https://apnews.com/article/classified-documents-biden-trump-...

  You're really grasping at straws now. I know what happened, and your link agrees with what I said. From your link: In Biden’s case, special counsel Robert Hur, a former U.S. attorney for Maryland nominated by Trump, concluded in a report released Thursday that the president should not face criminal charges, despite finding evidence that Biden willfully retained classified information. They didn't charge him because his diminished mental state would have made it difficult to convince a jury that his actions were "willful". That's very different from them concluding that his actions were not willful. > I do not care about what Jon Stewart says either It was an example of how it's actually possible (but rare) to hate Trump and still have the capacity to see the world without blinders on. But good for you for not caring.

    I guess we're both grasping then. Either way, these cases are not equivalent and there is no point in wasting time over something so miniscule. And, for people who aren't even running for office at that.
