22. I disagree.

I think that stealing hundreds and hundreds of government documents and leaving them sitting around public places, and his bathroom, is a stunning breach of our nation's secrecy and speaks to a personal agenda and intent. That's not fairly mild. I don't consider that as simple improper possession. Especially since he moved them around and took them overseas with him.

Yes, we'll never know who he sold info to, who he showed restricted docs to (except the Bedminster docs), and we can get him on obstruction, which I hope gets him 20 years. But, this has wider implications than just a mild infraction. We all know it.

The only reason he is out campaigning instead of languishing in a jail cell for even a single unreturned doc is because people without brains elected him pRes. There is no telling how many overseas assets he got killed. He's a pr*ck. He's not some mild mannered dotard playing with his souvenirs. And, he has the absolute nerve to tell us that if he is reelected, he's going to arrest all his enemies. He's a fascist, wannabe dictator who doesn't deserve any slack for what he did.

Sorry, it just irritates me no end. There is no comparison to Biden or Pence here. Trump just thought he could bully his way through to whatever profit the docs represented, and he thinks he's such a clever guy.

I personally don't think that people who steal even one doc under the pretense of whistleblowing should be excused. If you take an oath, keep it, or quit.

He's outlived his "grace" period. Time for prison.
