[Hoot Gibson]

I am not posting a link to any articles because it has become increasingly difficult to find news articles in which reporters actually make an effort to report objectively.

My position is simple and has not changed. If any elected public official is guilty of criminally mishandling classified documents, then I am in favor of prosecuting them to the same extent to which a normal American citizen or legal resident would be prosecuted. The allegations against Hillary Clinton were very serious. The allegations against Joe Biden are very serious. And the allegations against Donald Trump are very serious.

Granted, there may be laws, such as the Presidential Records Act of 1978, that set different standards for former U.S. Presidents and Vice Presidents than for other American citizens or legal residents, but barring laws or Supreme Court precedents that may protect former presidents and vice presidents from criminal prosecution, I fully support criminal prosecution of anybody who intentionally or negligently violates laws covering the proper handling of classified documents.

Do you support the principle that no American is above the law or do you subscribe the the Orwellian principle that some animals are more equal than other animals?
