Have ya noticed the difference, Jack? Does it piss ya off? Does it piss off every patriot who ever held a security clearance? How does this compare with Trump's case in terms of severity and the amount of evidence? Is this guy getting released after booking so he can go back home until trial? Think Trump might draw the same DC judge who sentences this guy when he pleads guilty? Think Trump will be released after arraignment, or will he be treated like this poor fool who was at the very bottom of the government?
This case will put a spotlight on Trump's similar case and comparisons are already being made about equality under the law and other such horseshit. This case could force Jack and the Judge's hand, Jack to indict and the Judge to jail Trump upon arraignment. Technically it shouldn't affect Jack's decision, but he's only human and reads the papers and knows exactly what is happening and will happen to that stupid kid who ruined his own life for less than what Trump did and with less evidence and witnesses against him. For him justice was swift, and it will be sure, this was very sensitive stuff, but not as sensitive as what Trump stole.
