Unpopular but correct opinion incoming

"Had possession of classified materials" isn't the issue in and of itself.  It's also the other facts involved. Here's what Comey said re decision not to charge Hillary:

&gt; All the cases prosecuted involved some combination of: clearly intentional and willful mishandling of classified information; or vast quantities of materials exposed in such a way as to support an inference of intentional misconduct; or indications of disloyalty to the United States; or efforts to obstruct justice. We do not see those things here.

I'm willing to believe that the story is that there are huge numbers, over 100,000, documents they sort through after a presidential administration, and it's inevitable some small number will get mis-sorted.

The real question is about these actions:

* a lack of cooperation with the government

* intentionally keeping classified docs

* having some ulterior motive

* personal (vice-) presidential involvement rather than issues with a tedious process he delegated to aides

"Both sides are always equally bad" is as braindead a take as "my side is always right." In fact it's the *same* take when your "side" is the middle.
