President Trump was in court Thursday appealing his classified documents case.
And Judge Aileen Cannon quickly pointed out the elephant in the room.
The recent Robert Hur report describing Biden’s mishandling of classified documents and the lack of enforcement for that crime is leading her to believe Jack Smith’s team is attempting to arbitrarily enforce the law.
She tore into the notion of selective prosecution, citing evidence from Hur’s testimony.

This has been obvious for quite some time.
But that isn’t stopping people from pointing it out once again.
Good that she is recognizing this would be an obvious injustice if enforced one way on a former President and another way on a former VP and Senator who just wanted to write a book. You can't convict the former President of a crime if u don't do the same to the VP and Senator.

I am not from USA but even I was perplexed as to why, Trump was charged for alleged offences regarding the storing of documents, BUT when it came to the previous VP, no charges. I think this is so politically motivated and totally bias and unfair 😑

NEW: From FLA courthouse in Trump's classified documents case with a prediction.
Robert Hur report and testimony is the biggest elephant in the room. The term "arbitrary enforcement" used frequently by both the defense and Judge Aileen Cannon.

There’s recent precedence for selective prosecution. A federal judge in California dismissed charges against two ‘far-right’ political agitators, citing "selective prosecution" by the government.
The judge found that the defendants, members of the Rise Above Movement, had…

Jack Smith’s witch-hunt may be coming to an end.
The Politics Brief has more on the soon-to-be-tossed case:
While both cases may contain elements of technical illegalities, Donald Trump’s case is far less egregious than Joe Biden’s, given the fact Trump was a sitting president with ultimate declassification authority; he stored the documents at Mar-a-Lago, his authorized presidential office away from the White House; and he has further protection by the Presidential Records Act.
Thus, in the event of a “guilty” verdict in the Trump case, it will be a case of “selective and vindictive prosecution” — as blatant a case of election interference in U.S. history.
A Trump guilty verdict would thus be a political outcome subverting the will of American voters. It would be the true “attack on democracy” that the Democratic Party is dishonestly protesting about, while it interferes in America’s elections and compromises institutions such as the rule of law.
