No. In fact it is the core tenet of the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution which guarantees equal protection under the law. Violations of that equal protection is referred to as "selective prosecution" and it absolutely is grounds for dismissal.

what makes you think these people have the intellectual level or maturity beyond that of a 12 year old? If they’re still supporting Trump at this time, they’re either woefully ignorant, dumb as rocks, or just a crappy person. I’d include ridiculously immature under crappy person.
 
Are all you people even remotely aware of how unprincipled you are and how you ALL so blatantly interpret things to suit your political views ?? No wonder your country is such a divided mess.

So when does the next civil war start ???

Let’s not lose sight of this

The United States v. Donald Trump

It’s important to understand why exactly the former president was arrested today.

Perhaps former Attorney General William Barr—not a man I am given to quoting approvingly—said it best:

I was shocked by the degree of sensitivity of these documents and how many there were ... and I think the counts under the Espionage Act that he willfully retained those documents are solid counts … If even half of it is true, then he’s toast.

Is Barr a liberal?
The classified documents TRUMP stored in his boxes included information regarding defense and weapons capabilities of both the United States and foreign countries; United States nuclear programs; potential vulnerabilities of the United States and its allies to military attack; and plans for possible retaliation in response to a foreign attack. The unauthorized disclosure of these classified documents could put at risk the national security of the United States, foreign relations, the safety of the United States military, and human sources and the continued viability of sensitive intelligence collection methods.

This is bad.
Between January 2021 and August 2022, The Mar-a-Lago Club hosted more than 150 social events, including weddings, movie premieres, and fundraisers that together drew tens of thousands of guests.

This is really bad.
But perhaps Trump misunderstood or didn’t realize what he had, and he wanted to cooperate with the government to get the papers back where they belong? Unfortunately, one of Trump’s own lawyers made sure to memorialize Trump’s comments on that issue—because lawyers, despite the Stringer Bell Rule, know when to protect themselves by taking notes:

Well what if we, what happens if we just don’t respond at all or don’t play ball with them?
Wouldn’t it be better if we just told them we don’t have anything here? Well look isn’t it better if there are no documents?

In one of the more widely publicized moments described in the indictment, Trump was apparently recorded, during a meeting with a writer working on a book (who was accompanied by his publisher) and two of Trump’s staff, saying that he had a U.S. war plan against a foreign nation (read: Iran) in his hand. He is recorded as admitting both that the document is classified and that he no longer has the power to declassify it.

If you’re still defending this ****, it’s because of your partisan blinders.

So when you get a speeding ticket, you figure you don't have to pay it until they catch everyone who has ever sped because of the 14th amendment?

Not at all, but when law enforcement gathers evidentiary proof of a law being broken but only prosecute some while letting others go unprosecuted, that is called selective prosecution and it is grounds for dismissal. Maybe don't get your legal advice from 12 year olds.

Law enforcement always choose whom to charge and whom not to charge. Usually based on likelihood of conviction and public interest. You're acting like Trump is the first person to ever be charged with a crime. Or Hilary the first person ever to not be.

I believe that law enforcement is a frighteningly powerful apparatus. It becomes downright terrifying when it appears that it is being used not to enforce laws but to enforce ideology, that the laws are only the pretext being used to prosecute political enemies. Trump should be prosecuted for his mishandling of classified information and his obstruction during the investigation of his handling of classified information. Hillary should be prosecuted for her mishandling of classified information and her obstruction during the investigation of her handling of classified information. Consistent application. Equal protection.

We no longer have that. The DOJ is putting their thumb on the scale when deciding who should be prosecuted. It is no longer about likelihood of conviction and public interest. There is now a clear political bias. There is simply no other way to explain Hunter Biden. Prosecution of Hunter Biden would be a slam dunk and he is not a public servant. The law enforcement of the United States government is not prosecuting Hunter Biden because he is politically protected and above the law. So is Hillary. There is no one on the political right that you can say that same thing about.
