“Two Systems of Justice—one for Donald Trump, and one for everybody else.” @greggjarrett
Video transcript
Two systems of justice, Sean, one for Donald Trump and one for everybody else. Merrick Garland, the attorney general, is criminalizing a civil dispute over documents that's governed exclusively by a civil statute. The Presidential Records Act, that act, means anything created during a presidency, whether it's classified or not, can be maintained by a former president, period. But instead of seeking an injunction, let's say, or production of records in a civil court, let a judge hash it out, Garland chose to bastardize the law by raiding Trump's home and then seeking an indictment today. And it didn't matter that Trump was following the very same standard established by the Department of Justice itself a decade ago in the Bill Clinton case who kept classified documents. It was a standard endorsed by a federal court in Washington. The president can keep what he wants, but Garland didn't like that and he doesn't care about the law, so he abandoned his own precedent because it's Donald Trump. This is selective prosecution. It is unequal justice. Yeah, it's okay for Hillary to mishandle classified documents, no charges, for Joe Biden to do the same. But if Donald Trump does it, it's a high crime.
