Are they accusing Trump of what they have done ? Just asking. Didn't Biden handle classified documents as VP and POTUS and were found all over the place. So basically Trump is being accused of what Bidens done ? Hasn't the DOJ. FBI and CIA been weaponised against Trump ? I find it incredible that this bashing of one man has not stopped since 2016 and we've all been hoodwinked into believing a lie, a narrative just because it's repeated over and over again.

@@johndeere3097 The DOJ doesn't make moves like this unless they have a 100% rock solid case. You might not like the facts because of what they say about Trump......but dismissing evidence, no matter how much you like the guy, is immoral at best. The evidence will speak for itself, and when your guy is found guilty, you will do the same thing because you don't care about facts. You care about power above all, and that will be the Republicans downfall. The tighter they grip, the more the sand will slip through their fingertips.
