Judge Seems Receptive to Trump's Defense Claims in Documents Case

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

34% : That's true, but there is a process to go through when declassifying documents and there is no evidence that Trump took those steps while he was in office.
28% : And yet Trump is on the verge of being put before a jury for far less.
21% : Of all of the legal cases currently being piled up against Donald Trump in the Democrats' ongoing lawfare efforts against him, the one I've probably found the most troubling is the allegation of mishandling classified documents.
21% : But any perceived loyalty she might feel to Donald Trump has not moved her to dismiss the case as his attorneys have requested.
20% : (Reuters)A federal judge overseeing the criminal case that accuses Donald Trump of mishandling classified documents has signaled an openness to the former U.S. president's defense claims, in a sign that prosecutors might face a difficult road ahead.U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, who was nominated to the bench by Trump, has asked Trump and prosecutors to propose jury instructions based on two legal scenarios that favor a claim from Trump that national security lawyers said have little relevance to the charges.
6% : Of course, all of this hemming and hawing completely ignores the potential classified document cases against Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden (among others) which were arguably far more egregious than whatever Trump may have done, with neither of them being prosecuted.
