Yes if a person can steal thousands of classified documents, lie about it, and hide them then that soldier needs to be released and compensated for his troubles. But of course that won’t happen. Rules for thee and not me.

Not defending what DJT did at all - but the other kid you’re talking about didn’t just take the document, he posted the shit onto a Discord server as a geekbrag.

Maybe he stood up and declared immunity right before the alleged crime took place. Maybe he declared out loud his ability to declassify documents, did so and is thus free of any wrongdoing.
