The former president was indicted on 37 counts, including mishandling classified documents, thus potentially risking the country’s security, and obstruction of justice. Allegedly there is strong evidence to support these charges.

For supporters of Donald Trump who think this is a “witch hunt”: If every single thing was the same, except it was Barack Obama or Bill Clinton, would you still want the charges dropped?

For those who believe the charges are called for: If every single thing was the same, except it was Barack Obama or Bill Clinton, would you still believe the charges are warranted?

The answer to both questions should be yes. No one is above the law, and the law should be applied equally to all (although we know this isn’t always the case). This is a problem, and another problem is that we have too many people who would answer “no” to these questions.
