One got prosecuted, one did not. Bragg applied a clear cut double standard. I believe he applied the double standard because he was politically motivated.
The DOJ prosecuted Trump for keeping documents, but did not prosecute Biden or Clinton for the same crime. Again, this is a double standard. Interestingly, Trump could have gone after Clinton, but did not. Also, in Biden's case the special prosecutor made the right call given Biden's dementia. Garland is the one applying a double standard here. The AG does not hire Jack Smith unless he is out for a prosecution. The AG chose a much more reasonable prosecutor to investigate Biden.
The fact that Trump asked for it or "deserved it" is irrelevant to these obvious double standards.
There's a big difference. Trump denied having them (he lied), then he refused to turn them over.
