So notwithstanding that 66% of respondents do not claim to have closely followed the news about the charges 62% claim the chares are political? 91% of republican claim the same?

Slightly over half of respondents, 51 percent, believe Trump should be prosecuted on criminal charges over his handling of classified documents after leaving the White House. About a third of respondents, 34 percent, said they have closely followed the news regarding Trump’s federal charges.

I wonder what the same people thought of the following, how many 'closely followed it?

Democrats teased the differences between the two cases by asking Hur whether the charges against Trump in his classified documents case also applied in Biden’s case.

“Did you find that President Biden directed his lawyer to lie to the FBI?” asked Rep. Ted Lieu, a California Democrat.

“We identified no such evidence,” Hur responded.

“Did you find that President Biden directed his personal assistant to move boxes of documents to hide them from the FBI?” Lieu later asked.

“No,” Hur said.

However, Hur also said his team found plenty of exculpatory evidence that led him to conclude that Biden’s actions weren’t illegal, and ultimately concluded that criminal charges weren’t warranted.

There were enough facts favorable to Biden that would “create reasonable doubt” for a potential jury, and “innocent explanations for the documents that we cannot refute,” Hur wrote in his report.

"Nearly 2/3s think charges are politically motivated."

Wow...

The guy who sent a mob to sack the capitol, threatened the GA Secretary of State if he didn't find him some votes, cobbled together dozens of fake electors and stole a UHaul full of government documents is being persecuted.

Who's living in a bubble?

And? I'd say that means there're a lot of really stupid people in this country. Had they been alive in the '70s, I suspect they'd have thought the Watergate investigation, and Nixon's resignation were "politically motivated.

Trump is a criminal. Has been for his entire adult life. Nixon was at least intelligent. And he would never have cozied up to foreign dictators.
