They also felt they couldn’t get a jury to convict him
The cases were also much different than trumps
You guys have to remember, not only did trump take more severe classified documents, he lied and stalled and obstructed Justice
His charges aren’t only for the documents
The Charges
- 31 counts of Wilful Retention of National Defense Information — 18 USC 793(e)
- Conspiracy to Obstruct Justice — 18 USC 1512(k)
