@@kieranhair37 If they could have put her in jail don't you think Trump would've had them do that at some point during the whole 4 years he had on power to have done that? I mean he had sworn to everyone within earshot & all his fans & donors, for all of 2016, that he'd put her in jail, but he never even tried cause he knew she hadn't done anything bad, (cause he KNEW how bad she could've acted because he himself was planning to be as crooked as possible, grift as much money from he treasury aspossible, do everything she had not done when she was there with Obama.) To be clear, if ANY politician, any POTUS, V.P. or Senator does anything prosecution worthy, all Americans should realize that they all need to be prosecuted if they commit crimes, & they all should serve the sentence they're given if they're found guilty. You won't find me, or the majority of Americans and Democrats, sacrificing my freedom , my integrity, my relationship with reality & provable facts or my decency to support any politician's criminal behavior, or their rude, inappropriate, immature, racist, misogybist, draft dodging, tax evading, bank defrauding, stealing from their own charities, running fake busineesses & pu$%y grabbing behaviors either. If they do the crime they can face the justice system just like the other millions of poverty stricken Amercan citizens have had to do & they can also do the time just like others have had to serve, for things as dumb as smoking a joint, this man has killed people with his mouth, with his inept leadership when he putt his stocks above millions of American's lives who got deathly sick because of his decisions when covid hit, people who are now disabled from the lung/heart damage of long covid. He's ruined thousands of lives directly by asking others to attack people who told the truth about him. Poor Amercans have had to do years in prisons for FAR lesser crimes that harmed no one but themselves possibly. We all should expect politicians who do criminal things to be charged, prosecuted and sentenced if found guilty... that's how we all should be, to protect OURAELVES from them. Even so, you have to admit that using a wrong server is NOTHING compared to getting a mother of 5 killed (beause she believed his lies about the election, when HE was the only one actually cheating to TRY to stay in the White House.) and nearly getting his VP HUNG AT OUR CAPITOL, while he sent armed people there that he KNEW some were armed, then e sat watching on tv for more than 3 hours while they savagely attacked and beat on police officers. He refused many people begging him to send them some help, to send in troops, refused to protect them when 1 phone calllwas all he had to do, but he did not CARE.. He committed a dereliction of his sworn duty, hearing his people, his mob of THOUSANDS screaming on his tv, "HANG PENCE " he heard it just like I did that day while it happened. Now hundreds are in jail for trying to help him stay in office, because they trusted his lies, and went & beat up over 100 police officers badly, putting one's eyeball out & breaking and entering a locked federal building after they broke through the officers lines. His exact words that morning in front of OUR White House was telling them that they "needed to go FIGHT for their country or they wouldn't have a country to fight for anymore." Well, we're still here and nothing happened bad to anyone except for the poor fools who tried to use their weapons to hold an insurrection at Trump's request & the officers his fans attacked. What, pray tell, can you tell me that either Clinton did that comes anywhere close to praising Putin and Kim Jung Un, or taking Putin's side over all of his own intelligence agencies (in a live press conferene in Helsinki) or the half a million who died becuse he refused to close our borders when the first 5 cases of covid19 hit here? So when they do this crap then I'll be as tore about it as I am about the criminal who thinks he still is able to be a POTUS of all Americanswhen he has disqualified himself by not protecting the officcers on Jan 6, 2020 or the Senators.....

Okay, for those who don't know... Al Capone was a notorious Chicago gangster, bootlegger and crime boss who was behind the Chicago Valentine's Day massacre in 1929. He went to prison at age 33 for tax evasion (because they couldn't get him for all the other crimes he had committed). He had untreated syphilis (there was no treatment then), and he regressed mentally to a point that they released him from prison, because a doctor had declared that by that point he had the mentality of a child. He died at his home (in Florida) at age 48 from a heart attack following a stroke. He was a vile, chaotic human being, though yeah, I guess he was hot stuff for a while. This is the person Trump wants to compare himself to? Of course he doesn't know any history, so he doesn't know anything, or how to put things into context. He just knows, "famous, notorious, exciting, still being talked about."

It's totally biased is what it is. Obviously Trump was highlighting the obvious discrepancy of a notorious murdering gangster who committed umpteen heinous vicious violent crimes but only got indicted once (for tax evasion, of all things) and a former president who committed no such vicious violent crimes and yet has been indicted over 100 times. OK, you can argue that just because a vicious violent criminal gets away with virtually all his crimes, does not mean that a non violent criminal should be let off. I understand that. But zealously prosecuting a former president for things for which there is somewhat speculative evidence does come across as very heavy handed, and unnecessary - unless, of course, there is a political motivation to stop him from running in 2024.

He thinks it was pre-determined and therefore a mistrial. Also, it doesn't really matter, it's part of the show. He isn't filing it in the hope the original trial gets tossed.
