So the Left and its RINO allies--but I repeat myself--are making hay with the appearance of a double standard regarding Trump's and Hillary's handling of classified documents.
What they try to convince you of is false.
I will only pass over briefly their contentions about double standards at all, since their predilection for hiding behind them is self-evident.
There are obvious differences between Hillary's situation and The Donald's. The chief of which is that Trump was the president when he took those documents home. As president, he had full authority to declassify anything he wanted at any time for any [or no] reason. Being chief executive, he was beholden to no one regarding what needed to remain a state secret and what did not. I've read, even, that the mere act of him taking classified documents out of secure locations constituted a de facto act of declassification; perhaps a reader who can cite the relevant rules and regulations could elucidate this for us.
Hillary, meanwhile, never held a position that carried that level of authority. Instead, she set up a private mail server in her home so she could conduct state business and use her clout for personal gain beyond the eye of any entities in the DOJ who were not yet beholden to her. I've outlined elsewhere what kinds of violations this act constituted, but let me close with one last comparison:
Trump cooperated with the FBI regarding the sequestration and seizure of the documents in question at Mar-a-Lago. Hillary's staff, on the other hand, smashed their devices with hammers in the hope of preventing evidence of their wrongdoing (yes, wrongdoing; that is not the way you protect state secrets from federal investigators who might lack clearance) from coming to light.
Okay, one last comparison, and a rhetorical question: if they had anything serious on Trump, why did they wait a year and a half after he was out of office--until the end of summer before some uncertain midterm elections--to move on him?
