But he\u2019s not going to be charged for this criminal act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I saw this <a href=\"https:\/\/apple.news\/A3aj2SpfsSveXX1n5nAjWiQ\" title=\"Biden will not be charged for Classified Document mishandling\">Article<\/a> and wondered if the charges against Trump having documents at Mar a Lago will be dropped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then I thought about it and realized that I was smoking something. This is another example of the double standard. What the article omitted was that Biden as Vice President was not, as I understand it, allowed to remove classified documents at all, without permission of the archive folks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>President Obama removed documents, without any screaming. Donald Trump, 2 years after vacating the White House is raided by the FBI and all kinds of charges filed against him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Uhhh Under Presidential Privilege Trump, like Obama, Clinton, Bush, Nixon, Carter, and Ford, were all allowed to remove documents. The only question I have in the case of Trump is, did he actually have the power to declassify documents <strong>or<\/strong> did he misunderstand the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I thought, (Obviously mistakenly,) that the was only one set of laws that governed everyone, from the lowest to the highest in the land. I\u2019ve been a law abiding citizen my whole life because I believed in our legal system. Now, I find myself asking why bother? There is no set of laws for everyone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If I were to become a successful enough criminal, I could buy enough politicians that I\u2019d never see a day in jail. That is&#8230; If I was caught.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s ashamed I can\u2019t be a criminal. I\u2019d be really good at it. Unfortunately, my father busted my ass so much that I\u2019m completely unable to break the law. I\u2019m not blaming him\u2026 When one of our family goes bad\u2026 We go REALLY BAD! We\u2019re typically on the smarter end of the spectrum and if we start misusing our smarts in the service of crime it\u2019s a mess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re talking completely unrestrained amoral behavior. Murder, theft, prostitution, drugs, any form of vice and we don\u2019t begin to think about the collateral damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My father was protecting all kinds of people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I also wonder if I even need to obey any of the laws.
