Why Trump’s Case Is Different From Biden and Pence
January 25, 2023 at 6:44 am EST By Taegan Goddard

Marcy Wheeler: “Until we have answers about some of the details that currently distinguish Biden and Pence from Trump — like whether they knew of the documents (both claim they did not), whether they ever accessed the documents after leaving office, whether we have reason to believe they’re harboring more — this should not be a story.”

“And the key difference, one that should be included in every story that tries to make such a comparison, is that Trump refused to give documents back, whereas Biden and Pence freely offered them up.”

However, from the New York Times: “The cases are markedly different in their particulars, as has been noted repeatedly. … But they are similar enough that as a practical matter Democrats can no longer use the issue against Mr. Trump politically, and investigators may have a harder time prosecuting him criminally.”

1. New York Times is getting so bad

I don’t know who’s writing this stuff but I feel like we’re being mansplained

2. I actually think the statement in bold from the NYT is a clear statement of the

problem.

You and I know the cases are worlds apart. But in the end, the papers in Biden's and Pence's possession WILL erode the ability to politically press the case that tfg should be prosecuted.

Mark it: he won't be prosecuted now for the stolen documents, or if he does it will be a slap on the wrist.

Justice delayed is justice denied. Especially where tfg is concerned.

4. I get tired of the news media telling people they're too stupid to understand the difference

6. You aren't and I'm not, but many are.

7. Too lazy really. Imo

8. I totally agree with that.

And often butthurt about imagined wrongs that color their perception of every piece of information that comes their way.

3. Simply Trump stole the documents!

He told his aides to load them up and Trump walked out with them, knowing it was wrong! Trump was going possibly sell the information, if he hadn’t already? Trump had them in a padded lock room! Trump is a very knifing person and everything he does is criminal! That is why this situation is different & dangerous! Period!
