#10 Apparently negligence alone has never been enough to get someone charged for mishandling classified documents, which is why Hillary Clinton was never charged:

During the Clinton email investigation, we identified *every* time DoJ had charged someone with mishandling classified. Ever.

4 categories emerged: intentional mishandling, vast quantities, a foreign power, or obstruction.

None applied to Clinton.

At least 2 apply to Trump.

The real sign of the two tier justice system is that no attempt was made to retrieve these documents. The archivist didn't care about Biden's stash.

It seems likely they didn't know Biden had them. We need to keep in mind that with Trump the National Archives were looking for a bunch of unclassified documents they knew existed and were covered under the Presidential Records Act. I don't think they realized how many classified documents Trump had until he sent them boxes of unclassified material that included classified documents as well as classified folders that were empty.

"What criminal intent are you alleging?"

Intentional mishandling and obstruction.

"And did you know intent has no bearing?"

Link?

It turns out that the National Archives began asking Trump for boxes of documents while he was still president:

"The Archives battle to secure records from Trump began while he was still president, according to records reviewed by The Post. Gary M. Stern, the agency's top lawyer, began asking the former president's attorneys to return two dozen boxes in the residency of the White House before he left. In an email Stern wrote to others, Trump's counsel, Pat Cipollone, agreed with him. But Trump did not return them." [Washington Post]

"It is also our understanding that roughly two dozen boxes of original presidential records were kept in the Residence of the White House over the course of President Trump's last year in office and have not been transferred to NARA, despite a determination by Pat Cipollone in the final days of the administration that they need to be,' wrote Gary Stern, the agency's chief counsel, in an email to Trump lawyers in May 2021, according to a copy reviewed by the Washington Post." [Washington Post]

"The points been made that Trump was subject to selective persecution for having documents. Biden was given a pass."

Sure, if you ignore the fact that Trump's lawyers warned him that it was illegal for him to keep the documents:

Trump was warned in late 2021 by his former White House lawyer that it was unlawful to retain the documents, especially classified information;

Trump personally sorted through the documents in late 2021;

Trump's personal knowledge and possession, access, and control of the documents is indicated by the quantity, content, and location of documents with classified markings (including intermingled with personal belongings) and by his admissions on Truth Social;

Trump repeatedly stated privately that the documents were his to possess and he was not willing to deliver them to the government;

Trump aides repeatedly tried to get him to return the documents to the government;

Trump was repeatedly put on notice by Archives and Justice Department that his retention of the documents was unlawful and a potential threat to national security;

Trump was apparently involved in obstructive acts of trying to conceal documents from the government after receiving a subpoena.

Intent doesn't matter for this if " no president is above the law"

Intent does matter:

"Trump argued he has a right to the documents. Clinton, Bush and Obama were allowed to keep many documents. Selective persecution."

Allowed to keep (i.e.) retain or allowed to request and receive (obtain) copies of documents that have been turned over to the National Archives?

Oh wow, here is something I never thought of and haven't seen anyone mention before:
