  1. Wrong. It's called obstruction of justice. Just like in Nixon's case, the cover up is worse than the crime.

  3. "The ‘big rip-off’: How Trump exploited his fans with ‘election defense’ fund. The former president used donations to a nonexistent legal defense fund for his hotels and the January 6 Ellipse rally. All the millions of emails sent out from the victory.donaldtrump address essentially said the same thing. They exhorted Trump supporters to back the “Official Election Defense Fund” with their hard-earned dollars. There was one problem with this epic flurry of emails: the Official Election Defense Fund did not exist. As the House committee investigating the January 6 insurrection at the US Capitol revealed in a public hearing this week, Trump and his allies raised $250m from the emails by persuading loyal followers to donate to a chimera. There was no fund dedicated to fighting election battles as part of Trump’s mendacious and ultimately vain “big lie” that the presidency had been stolen from him. Instead, the money went into Trump’s new fundraising entity Save America PAC, from where millions of dollars were distributed to pro-Trump organizations including his own hotel properties and the company that produced the Ellipse rally in Washington on January 6 just hours before the storming of the Capitol."

  4. The Hillary Clinton email case was investigated and resolved. "Investigation of Clinton emails ends, finding no ‘deliberate mishandling'. To warrant a criminal charge, Mr. Comey said, there had to be evidence that Mrs. Clinton intentionally transmitted or willfully mishandled classified information. The F.B.I. found neither, and as a result, he said, “our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case. Overall, the Clinton investigation handling cast a cloud over the FBI, the report says. The report is highly critical of some actions taken in the investigation, concluding that Comey and the bureau's actions, and the behavior of the five employees, "negatively impacted the perception of the FBI and Department of Justice as fair administrators of justice."

  11. Trump confessed to stealing government documents and he supplied the evidence with the help of his crack legal team. "The motion submitted on Monday by the former president’s lawyers argued that a court should appoint a so-called special master to separate out and determine what materials the justice department can review as evidence due to privilege issues. The documents seized at Mar-a-Lago … were created during his term as President. Accordingly, the documents are presumptively privileged until proven otherwise,” the filing said. “Only an evaluation by a neutral reviewer, a Special Master, can secure the sanctity of these privileged materials.” But the argument from Trump that the documents are subject to executive privilege protections suggests those documents are official records – which he is not authorized to keep and should have turned over to the National Archives at the end of the administration. The motion, in that regard, appeared to concede that Trump violated one of the criminal statutes listed on the warrant used by the FBI to search the former president’s Mar-a-Lago resort – 18 USC 2071 – concerning the unlawful removal of government records."

  12. "There is no evidence that Joe Biden received large sums of money from China or has otherwise gained wealth as a result of his son's business dealings abroad. Trump has previously made the "billion-five" accusation against Hunter Biden. While a conservative author has used this figure, it has not been proven. A lawyer for Hunter Biden, George Mesires, says the investment company in which Hunter Biden has an equity stake was capitalized with a total of about $4.2 million at today's exchange rates, "not $1.5 billion." Even this investment was not a direct payment to Hunter Biden; Hunter Biden holds a 10% stake in the firm, Mesires says, and has not made a profit to date." Reuters

While former Vice President Joe Biden oversaw foreign policy in Ukraine, his son Hunter Biden served on the board of Burisma Holdings, the largest gas company in the fledgling democracy. Despite a recently concluded investigation by Senate Republicans that found no wrongdoing by the Bidens, claims to the contrary have continued to circulate on social media." FactCheck

  23. There is an important distinction between the cases. Donald Trump was served a warrant after he refused to turn over the documents. Trump had his lawyers lie for him. Biden's lawyers found the documents and immediately turned them over.
