To all the Trump supporters who will read this:

Please understand that your initial reflex to jump to Trump’s defense and throw out numerous “what about-isms” that you think change a thing is completely natural. Before putting those thoughts out into the world for people to suffer through, think about the actual reasons.

Trump repeatedly refused to cooperate with the NARA, lied about having records, and continued to keep records he was not permitted to keep after the DoJ subpoenaed those files. Even now, there are missing documents.

If you want to say “what about Hillary?” Or “Hunter this” or “Biden that”

Answer this: Do their hypothetical unproven crimes excuse Trump’s crimes? Does someone robbing a store and not getting caught mean the cops can’t charge someone for car theft? No.

Trump is on tape acknowledging he shouldn’t have those records. If anyone else had these documents, they would be in jail.

This isn’t persecution, this is justice.
