It does have some precedential value. If presidents have been routinely doing this for years (as I would guess they have) then it seems inappropriate to decide suddenly to go after one and leave the others scot free.
But is there any actual evidence that this has been a problem with other former Presidents? I'm aware of nothing other than Trump's lie that President Obama took documents too. This lie was exposed back in August by the authoritative source on the matter, the National Archives and Records Administration -

The truth as we all know it is that there is absolutely no evidence that has been used to find Trump guilty of anything. The only ‘evidence’ is what the Russia Russia Russia team has leaked to the press. That seems to be enough to arrest any “private citizen” in short order. Why hasn’t he been arrested yet?
Maybe you need to read up on the filings in the court cases.
Do you understand that it was your demigod that threw a massive wrench into the investigation based on getting a Florida District judge to make up a whole new side of jurisdiction that never existed before?
Or perhaps you dont think there should be any investigation, just an immediate arrest? Double lolz. Thats a smart position to take....
My preference is that a thorough investigation take place. If Trump cant be charged -- so be it. And if he can, I think it should be thoroughly looked into.
On the other side of the fence we have the third-grade level logic in the comment of 'why hasnt he been arrested yet, and since he hasnt it is unfair.' That sounds like a smashing great leap of logic.
My “third grade logic” tells me that if I were found with all of this so called evidence presented by the government in your “court filings” that I would not be walking the streets. Your great law brain can’t quite explain that.
What do you disagree with in the court filings, sparkles? To the extent that you "" them? Maybe since Alex Jones disagrees with them, that is good with you? Or maybe better yet Gateway Pundit?
Your obvious grasp of things doesnt seem to find its way to the other things: a) former President; b) Trump filed an unprecedented mass of filings to delay the investigation, but I guess that flew over that razor sharp observation machine you got going; c) I'd prefer a full investigation -- that is as opposed to the ideal that you think should happen that 'lets just hit everything with a sledge hammer and see where it falls; d) the authorities need to know as much as possible about what Trump knew about the papers. Again, Cannon hit them with a set of rulings that stalled them out; e) much like an investigation into an organized crime case, the authorities should take care in detailing all of the people involved, and ot what extent.
Instead of sitting around whining, maybe think about it a tad. It helps.
Quote:What happened to the nuclear secrets?
So now anything in the news reports is mentioned as some sort of 'proof' that Trump wasnt squirreling stuff away? Seriously?
Quote:That should do it quite nicely.
Yep, I suggest you call up the Special Counsel Smith and tell him that ol' Wa Soms tells him he should stand down. Nothing like that iceberg mind presented at its finest above.
Quote:And finally you are not the boss of anyone here.
Never said I was, sparkles.
Quote: So I’ll ask again, when are they going to arrest this “private citizen” for possession of Top Secret nuclear and or SCIFF documents?
Told you before -- dont know. I guess you dont understand that phrase. I take it you dont think Trump is a "private citizen" by the above?
Quote:You’re the law expert. Explain it without smug comments about process because we all know with the evidence that has been plastered all over the media anyone else would have been in custody by now.
That seems like a real dumbshit rule of law. Since they havent arrested him, he must be innocent. Good grief......
