There is a lot of noise being made because the Department of Justice is not going to prosecute President Biden for mishandling classified documents. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was not prosecuted for mishandling classified information either. Yet, President Trump is being prosecuted.
Although there are some differences between President Biden’s case and President Trump’s, to the untrained eye it looks like Secretary Clinton obstructed justice as much, if not more than President Trump. To many Americans, there appears to be a disparity between the way President Trump is being treated compared to the way President Biden and Hillary Clinton are. It looks like unequal justice under the law.
These folks are all big shots. What about ordinary Americans?
Kristian Saucier was a machinist’s mate abord the nuclear attack submarine USS Alexandria who took photographs of classified areas of the vessel’s interior. In 2016, he was convicted of unauthorized retention of national defense information. He was sentenced to a year in prison. President Trump pardoned him in 2018. [1]
Does there appear to you to be a difference in the way justice is applied to the political elites, and cases involving ordinary Americans? Do we have more than a “two-tiered justice system.” Is it multi-tiered?
Equal justice under the law means everybody gets treated the same. Right? Apparently, we have got a lot of fixin’ to do.
