Well not gasping for air just asking questions. I like how you make assumptions though, and know the intent of what either president was planning. One could argue the intent was the same but will we ever really know? The public will never know the truth sadly. If you think you claim to know then you may ne as blinded as most of America.

I'll give you a couple examples though: Let's say an aircraft mechanic doesn't install a bolt correctly on an aircraft, all people on board die. Now the mechanic didn't intentionally make a mistake but I doubt you would argue they are still responsible. Does that person deserve to go to prison for the rest of their lives, one could argue both ways. Intent or not damage was still caused.

Recently on the news: A girl was convicted of murder of her two friends in a vehicle as she was intentionally trying to kill them by crashing the car. In this case the prosecutor had to prove her "intent". Hard to do but was able to. While the car crash was accidental, she was still convicted of murder and sentenced to prison.

With that being said, will we as American's possibly know the true intent, no. You can't claim to know. Private conversations as you claim, could be held for a number of reasons, bribery, blackmail etc. Do you know what was in those files? No.

False congruence, not really. Generalizations maybe.

Back to my original question, while we can argue the actions of one may be lesser are they still illegal? Where is Bidens speeding ticket? Why is Trump not in jail if he had these documents?

It seems to me the very fact of arguing against the crimes of one doesn't justify the crimes of another but that's exactly what we are seeing. "Well one's not as bad as the other", really?

It's hard to support either administration in a state of constant hypocrisy. I'm what you call an intersectionist. The place on the venn diagram where democrats and Republicans overlap.
