We examine the details of Donald Trump's indictment for mishandling classified information.

Trump prepares his defense strategy, and Joe Biden declares that America is a nation of pride

while flying a pride progress flag from the White House. I'm Ben Shapiro. This is The Ben Shapiro Show.

Well, this week, Donald Trump is supposed to show up in court in Miami for his actual

arraignment on 37 charges, ranging from obstruction of justice to mishandling of classified

documents.

We need to go through the actual indictment.

The actual indictment, the text of the indictment dropped late on Friday afternoon. And the indictment is not good for

President Trump. Let's be frank about this. Two things can be true at once. One, Trump clearly

mishandled classified material. So have Joe Biden. So did Mike Pence. So did Hillary Clinton.

Trump also, if the allegations in the indictment are correct,

is going to have a tough time rebutting charges of obstruction of justice. The indictment is really,

really detailed. Now, again, Hillary Clinton did pretty much the same thing and got away with it.

And this is why I suggested the last week, two things can be true at once. One, Trump's behavior in this matter has been abysmal.

And two, he should not be prosecuted based on the Comey standard, which was established in order to exonerate Hillary Clinton. Here is the thing that the American people are not going to be able to sustain. A Department of Justice, where when a Democrat is in power, a Republican gets prosecuted And when Republicans are in power, a Democrat does not get prosecuted and nobody gets prosecuted.

Or alternatively, if the Republican is in power and Democrats

get prosecuted and Democrats are in power, Republicans get prosecuted, the stakes are wildly raised

for every single election because you now know that if the opposition party is in power,

you're in actual danger of going to jail. And this is a really scary thing for the vast majority of Americans.

It's banana republic type stuff where Hillary Clinton gets exonerated by James Comey.

And then five minutes later, Donald Trump is being hit with the exact same indictment.
