Wait&#8230; what?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>We were\u200d led to believe that Smith had simply subpoenaed Trump&#8217;s Twitter account records without notifying Trump or his lawyers. But if you engaged with a tweet from the former president, you could now find yourself on the DOJ&#8217;s watchlist thanks to Jack Smith. Your privacy rights were sacrificed \u200cin the pursuit of &#8220;getting Trump.&#8221; You were just collateral damage.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-2-long d-flex justify-content-center\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-1734285733\">\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1379703300879-0\" class=\"mb-30\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-a416a1d4068a4ff7705ab858469f421c fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-2\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-a416a1d4068a4ff7705ab858469f421c\"><\/div>\n<p>American Democrats are celebrating, but let me share the news. If you responded to a Trump tweet by insulting him, \u2064you&#8217;re also\u2062 on Smith&#8217;s list.<\/p>\n<p>To <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/leftists-enraged-after-country-star-jason-aldean-torches-blue-cities-in-new-music-video-try-that-in-a-small-town\/\" title=\"Leftists furious as Jason Aldean burns Blue Cities in new video: 'Try it in a Small Town'\">make matters\u200c worse<\/a>, the D.C. judge overseeing\u200b related matters\u2063 fined Twitter\u200b over $300,000 for not promptly providing your personal account\u200d information. This feels like a biased attack on\u200c Trump in the DOJ&#8217;s favorite anti-Trump territories of NYC and D.C. They would have taken him to Seattle or San Francisco if they could. What about the Sunshine State, though?<\/p>\n<p>Trump has long\u2063 claimed that the Democrat\u200b establishment \u2062is \u2062after all \u200cof us, not \u2062just\u200c him. Smith&#8217;s questionable tactics lend credibility to that claim and erode citizens&#8217; trust in our judicial system. It&#8217;s worth noting that most stories about Trump&#8217;s legal issues prominently mention the political party of the presiding judge and the president who appointed them. This \u2063insinuates that an Obama or Biden appointee will be tough on Trump.<\/p>\n<p>How will Smith&#8217;s rule-skirting behavior play out in Trump&#8217;s Mar-a-Lago classified documents case? A federal district judge has\u200b already reprimanded Smith for abusing the grand\u200d jury process by keeping\u2063 a secret, parallel D.C. grand jury open to investigate Trump for alleged document mishandling, even after he had been indicted by a Miami grand jury. This is\u200d blatant forum shopping and \u2062grand jury abuse. It&#8217;s misconduct that\u2063 could warrant sanctions. It&#8217;s reminiscent of Joseph McCarthy&#8217;s tactics.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-23e50eb4ff2d662326d718b0e1c45820 fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-6\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-23e50eb4ff2d662326d718b0e1c45820\"><\/div>\n<p>This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/double-standards-princeton-turns-blind-eye-to-plagiarism-from-woke-professor\/\" title=\"Double Standards: Princeton Turns Blind Eye To Plagiarism From Woke Professor\">scorched-earth approach<\/a> was always on the menu for those determined to get Trump at any cost. However, as \u2063long as the court maintains fairness, there won&#8217;t\u200b be a mid-year trial, and\u2064 the Florida jury will eventually\u200b receive \u2063all \u2064the evidence needed\u2063 to make an informed decision.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-0171f530a4d198f0e8c9421aa652df82 fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-10\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-0171f530a4d198f0e8c9421aa652df82\"><\/div>\n<p>The\u200d federal government \u200balleges that Trump mishandled documents taken from the White House, failed to secure \u200cthem, and refused to deliver them to \u2063the presidential archivist when requested.\u200d However, the lenient treatment of other high-profile individuals who committed similar acts weakens the case against Trump.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, Hillary \u2062Clinton misused an unauthorized private email\u200d server to store classified communications. When \u2063she was under federal subpoena, she and her team used an app to delete data and destroyed devices to cover\u2064 their tracks.\u2063 Despite this, \u200cthe DOJ gave Clinton a pass. FBI Director James Comey acknowledged her wrongdoing but stated that no reasonable \u200cprosecutor would charge her because she lacked clear intention to\u2062 expose classified information to \u2064enemies. She may have leaked critical data,\u200c but she lacked the motive to harm America. Remember the standards: clear \u200dintention and no reasonable prosecutor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Comparing Mishandling of Classified Information: Biden, Clinton, and Trump<\/h2>\n<p>For decades, both Senator and Vice President Biden have consistently mishandled classified information, much like Clinton. Classified, secret, and sensitive \u2063materials were discovered at Biden&#8217;s homes, offices, and other locations. The sheer volume of information scattered by \u2063Biden far \u2062surpasses what Trump held and what Clinton destroyed. Surprisingly, a significant portion of this information \u200bwas once\u200c stored at\u200b secure government facilities that Biden had access to, but he failed to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/what-to-do-about-the-debt-ceiling\/\" title=\"What To Do About the Debt Ceiling\">leave empty-handed<\/a>. It&#8217;s \u2064clear that \u2062Biden \u200chad an abundance\u2062 of \u2063papers.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, the\u2062 Department of Justice announced that they will not pursue any charges against President Biden,\u2062 following the pattern of leniency shown towards Clinton. This raises the question: \u200cwhy can they charge Trump? Apart from being the only Republican in this trio, what sets him apart?<\/p>\n<p>In order to convict Trump, every juror must be willing to hold him accountable for the same actions that these \u2064uncharged Democrat politicians have committed openly. If defense lawyers can create doubt in the mind of even one juror regarding Trump&#8217;s guilt, he will be acquitted. The stakes are high, and the credibility of the prosecution is at the forefront.<\/p>\n<p>We will never truly know what the FBI would have discovered had they obtained warrants or investigated the Clinton and Biden-controlled locations. This is precisely the issue. The FBI \u200bleaked photos of meticulously \u2064arranged Trump \u200dpapers, but they \u2063<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/homeless-man-accused-of-setting-249-year-old-san-gabriel-mission-on-fire-pleads-not-guilty\/\" title=\"Homeless Man Accused Of Setting 249-Year-Old San Gabriel Mission On Fire Pleads Not Guilty\">remained tight-lipped<\/a> about the other two. This exemplifies the unequal treatment under the law.<\/p>\n<p>These comparisons are crucial because one of\u200b Trump&#8217;s\u200d defenses is\u2063 selective prosecution. All three \u2063-\u2063 Trump, Clinton, and Biden &#8211; stored classified documents at their homes. However, only Trump, \u200cthe one with the authority to declassify, has been raided and charged. Legal analysts argue that Trump\u2062 will\u2064 struggle to establish this defense since he cannot prove that he \u200dwas treated differently due to his sex, race, or political party. The key difference lies in their political affiliations, with Trump being the sole Republican.<\/p>\n<p>The defense will not be allowed to make unsupported allegations against Clinton and Biden. Trump will not be permitted\u2062 to \u200bargue that Biden scattered documents for his\u200d son to sell to\u200c enemies\u2064 while the Biden family was \u200creceiving millions from foreign powers. To make a compelling comparison, Trump needs access to the government&#8217;s files on Clinton and Biden&#8217;s &#8220;document cases&#8221; to draw tangible similarities and strengthen his defense. The judge will ultimately decide which\u2063 classified records Trump can present to the jury and if there are any \u2064other relevant documents \u2063he is entitled to. The jurors will then determine if these cases are truly different or if Trump is being unfairly treated for not being a protected Democrat.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to criminal charges that \u200drequire intent, the defendant&#8217;s \u200dstate of mind is crucial. Comey himself emphasized this. He explained that Clinton\u2062 lacked intent to cause\u200c harm by keeping an email server in a Colorado bathroom. Biden is being portrayed as careless at worst, yet we are left in the dark about the number of documents he possessed and which ones were classified when he took them.<\/p>\n<p>Proof of scienter, or intent, is often presented in a comprehensive \u200dmanner to help the jury understand the defendant&#8217;s\u200b thought process during key moments. Did\u2063 Trump \u200bknow that his actions were\u2064 illegal, and did he intend to cause harm? The DOJ has opened the door to evidence on both of these questions by charging Trump with intent crimes. According\u2064 to the federal authorities, Trump even asked his team if he could\u200b destroy documents at \u200dMar-a-Lago, similar to what Clinton \u2064did. If it was not\u2064 illegal \u2064for\u200d her \u2062to destroy classified records, why would it be for him? This appears to be his state of mind.<\/p>\n<p>If Trump can convince the court that he is entitled to directly compare \u200dthe disparate treatment of \u2064the Democrat \u2064mishandlers, \u2063he should be granted access to these investigative files. Many people believe that the investigations into Clinton and Biden were mere charades. If this is true, it further \u2064supports Trump&#8217;s defense that he is being singled out despite following the same rules that the DOJ initially applied to Clinton and then to Biden. In Trump&#8217;s mind, he was doing \u2064what they did, which must \u2062have been legal \u2063since \u2063they were not charged. If the jury finds this \u200dreasoning reasonable, they will acquit him.<\/p>\n<p>On the other\u2062 hand, Smith&#8217;s team is\u2064 unlikely to convince anyone that Clinton was let off the hook because of her inherent \u2063cooperativeness. People\u2062 remember Benghazi, the\u200d Clinton Foundation, and Bleach-Bit. Can \u2062100\u2063 percent of the Florida jury pool truly believe that Trump&#8217;s refusal \u200bto hand over documents to a glorified bureaucrat librarian is a \u200cnational \u2063security atrocity of unprecedented proportions? It&#8217;s highly unlikely. All it takes is one person to conclude that something doesn&#8217;t seem right.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, \u200cit is crucial for every American to understand the rules that impact their \u200cliberty and for those rules to be applied fairly. Our \u2063behavior is influenced by the \u200bexpected\u2064 consequences. If half of\u2064 the country&#8217;s leaders enjoy absolute immunity while \u2064their prosecutors aggressively\u2063 target \u200ctheir\u2063 counterparts and \u200danyone in their way, it represents a failure of \u200bthe \u200bjustice system\u200b that cannot be \u2062repaired.<\/p>\n<p>In the end, this case is a losing battle for Smith. No one falls from hero to zero\u200c faster than\u200c someone \u2063the left no longer needs. If Smith gathers all the resources of the federal government to prosecute Trump, at least half of the country will view it \u200cas a targeted attack aimed at\u2064 clearing the path for an inept lifelong politician. If Trump is acquitted, Smith&#8217;s team will resemble the one that failed to convict O.J. Simpson.<\/p>\n<p>Either way, the outcome of this case will have far-reaching implications for the \u2064justice system and the\u200d perception of fairness in \u2062our society.<\/p>\n<h2>Our Rights are Slipping Away<\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s\u2064 a troubling reality that under the current administration, we, the people, are witnessing a gradual erosion of our rights. It seems that those in power are willing to sacrifice our freedoms just to target the one man who poses a significant threat to their comfortable arrangements and unchecked authority.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-d48bb9aae10f55c9c07dbf0aff1d0997 fdrlst__b89e9-after-post-content\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-d48bb9aae10f55c9c07dbf0aff1d0997\"><\/div>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"> <\/p>\n<h2> How\u200d do\u2062 the inconsistencies in the handling of classified information mishandling cases by the DOJ raise concerns about the fairness and impartiality of the \u200bjudicial system?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Et off the \u200bhook due to\u2062 lack of intent, while Trump should be charged\u2064 for similar actions. The inconsistencies in how classified information\u200d mishandling cases have been handled by the \u2062DOJ \u200braise serious concerns about \u2064the fairness and impartiality \u2064of the judicial system.<\/p>\n<p>As the trial against Trump unfolds, it is important\u2064 to \u200dremember that this\u200b case\u2063 goes beyond just the former \u2063president. It raises \u2062questions about the integrity\u200c of\u2063 our justice system and \u200dwhether it is being used\u2064 as a \u2063weapon to target political opponents. The selective prosecution\u2064 of Trump while giving leniency to Democratic politicians like Clinton\u2064 and Biden undermines the\u2062 trust citizens have in the legal system.<\/p>\n<p>The outcome of this\u200b trial will have far-reaching implications for future cases involving\u200b classified information mishandling. If Trump is convicted without\u200c evidence of intent, it\u2064 sets\u2064 a dangerous precedent that could be\u2063 used to target individuals based on their political affiliations. It\u200d will send a message that \u2064the rule of law \u2064can be \u2062manipulated for\u2063 political gain.<\/p>\n<p>In order to restore faith in the \u2063justice system, \u2063it is imperative that the court allows \u2063Trump to present a\u2062 strong defense\u2063 and\u200b compare his case to those of Clinton and \u200cBiden. The \u2062defense should have access to all relevant documents and investigative files to demonstrate that Trump is not \u2062being treated fairly. \u200bOnly then can the jury make an informed decision and ensure \u200cthat justice is served.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of one&#8217;s political\u200c views, it is crucial to recognize \u2063the implications \u200dof this case.
