Who else has been hounded for documents that other Presidents had?
There is a standard for Trump. Then, there is a standard for everybody else.

1). Surely they aren't the same documents. And other presidents (and Secretaries of State!) have been asked to return materials and have cooperated and done so.
2). We can't judge double standards, no other presidents that I'm aware of have refused to cooperate and publicly and in writing lied to the federal government about documents they've taken. If you are aware of counter examples, do let me know.

And they got through with Bleachbit and hammering hard drives.

Presumably after their lawyers determined what was classified and what was not.
Which Trump had, what, a year and a half to do while he was feigning cooperation with the Feds?
-
Garland appointed Jack Smith as Special Counsel for Trump criminal probe.

Yep, done after the announcement. Nothing political about it.

Makes perfect sense. It will delay things but it’s better to firewall it from the administration.

They'll have time. Friday afternoon drops can do that for you...

From National Archives
"NARA moved approximately 30 million pages of unclassified records to a NARA facility in the Chicago area where they are maintained exclusively by NARA," the archives said in a statement. "Additionally, NARA maintains the classified Obama Presidential records in a NARA facility in the Washington, DC, area. As required by the PRA, former President Obama has no control over where and how NARA stores the Presidential records of his AdministNot sure where President Trump is being held to a different standard?

No, that's Jolly saying that it's so obvious that even a cursory "look" by a blind mouse would see it.
-
True, a mouse would need ideological blinders to not notice the difference between working with the National Archives vs working against them and repeatedly lying about it.

Take off your laser vision glasses and consider the situation in toto. There has never been anything remotely like the full court press on Trump in the last 100 years. There may never have been anything like it since the beginning of the Republic.
One cannot look at anything waged against Trump by the Deep State, especially the Justice Department and FBI, and not consider political motivations. Their behavior in the past has been criminal, IMO.
Therefore, take any allegation lodged against Trump with a tablespoon full of salt.

Great way of putting it, @xenon

Doesn't matter... Xenon busted his Trump-Hater Cherry a long time ago.
One has to back up and look at things with a historical view. And then not let pure hate get in the way.

Didn't you just accuse Phibes of this?
Address his post, why don't you?
