You have lost your own narrative. Your comments and my reply were about Biden, but we can talk about trump.

Speaking of Biden, there was no crime. That is why there is no trial or convicion.

Biden did improperly store those documents, that is the end of that story.

Trump took documents from the white house. Stored them in the bathroom at Mar-a-Logo among other places there about.

He was asked to return the documents, he refused. It came to a point where the FBI had to attend Mar-a-Lago and retrieve them.

I didn't realize you were an FBI agent.

These were not simply classified documents. These were top secret documents.

The hard part is not convicting trump, it's getting him in court where a trial can be held.

 MP> As we are talking about *Trump*, I am shocked to hear you say that but,

Again, your comments and my reply was about Biden. Dense indeed.

I don't drink often and when I do it's a beer or two.

My lady plans rum and coke tonight so I will refrain from posting this evening.

Are you comparing the Hunter pardon to the Nixon pardon? Please stop.

Comparing the Hunter and Nixon pardon is indeed ignorant.

 Ttyl :-),
