Many ways a judge can influence the direction of a trial, before getting to the day a verdict is rendered.Doesn't a jury decide on his guilt rather than a judge?

He wanted to prove he was above the law. I think he's reaching the Find Out stage. Finally.Oh ****! I ALMOST forgot about Hillary's emails. Never forget... Hillary's emails.
For the record, I would have been happy if they had held her more accountable for that, but unless there are bad intentions that they can prove they generally just shake their finger at the offender for stuff like this. Trump has said multiple times in multiple ways that his retention of classified documents was intentional, his unwillingness to return them after being asked was intentional, his refusal to cooperate was out of hostility and his own sense of entitlement.
Funny thing is that if Trump knew how to shut his stupid ****ing mouth and had he at least gone through the motions of cooperating then he most likely wouldn't have been indicted. But he can't shut his stupid ****ing mouth. He just can't.
They shake their finger if the offender is a Democrat. What Trump has done is almost certainly criminal. Trump should be prosecuted. What Hillary did was almost certainly criminal. Hillary was not prosecuted due to political considerations. There is now a double standard. If you think Trump should be prosecuted then Hillary should have been held more accountable. If you think Hillary should have been let off the hook for the mishandling of classified information and obstruction via BleachBit and using hammers on subpoenaed devices then Trump should receive that same treatment. It is the dissonance that is the issue. It is unfortunately clear that the FBI and DOJ have become little more than the goon squad for the DNC. If you are cheering that development then I'm thinking you are short sighted. These things have a way of coming back around. If the Republicans ever get control over the government against and root out the DNC toadies in Federal Law Enforcement to then install their own because this is now how things are done, it won't be people at conventions chanting "Lock her up!" It will actually be political opponents being locked up for whatever can be used.Oh ****! I ALMOST forgot about Hillary's emails. Never forget... Hillary's emails.

Really, all anyone needs do is read the indictment. But no, they are all going to stick with the alternate reality. Let them explain why an incurious man like Donald Trump needed the nuclear and military secrets of the United States and other nations.

I’m pretty sure they have him on audio showing reporters classified documents and admitting that he shouldn’t show them the docs because they’re classified and that if he had been president still he could de-classify them. So basically, Trump ****ed himself. Huge surprise…Eh, Trump's best defense is that as president all he had to do was think about it and it would be declassified. Didn't have to tell anyone. So basically since he took it home he automatically declassified it.
What a POS.
If a person without political clout had done what Trump or Clinton (or, for that matter, Biden or Pence) had done, they would be facing trial. That does not make Clinton's transgressions the equal of Trump's.They shake their finger if the offender is a Democrat. What Trump has done is almost certainly criminal. Trump should be prosecuted.

It is the severity that is the issue. Comey called Clinton's trangressions "careless". Trump's have been deliberately obstructionist.It is the dissonance that is the issue.
If you think that, you have no idea what the culture of the FBI is.It is unfortunately clear that the FBI and DOJ have become little more than the goon squad for the DNC. If you are cheering that development then I'm thinking you are short sighted.
What Hillary did with classified documents is far worse. There is no evidence Trump destroyed anything. There is also no evidence the trove was given to anyone. With Hillary's handling of classified documents, there is evidence of both. Most of what the FBI did ultimately recover came from Anthony Wiener's laptop and the intelligence community was very blunt about foreign agencies having copies of classified document owing entirely to their existence on the improper email server.That does not make Clinton's transgressions the equal of Trump's.
