Fair enough, if the Trump document case ever gets to trial in time to make any difference., since it landed in a court whose judge could delay, delay, delay until other states and federal criminal cases get decided before the summer of 2024. In the meantime, the indictment case laid out in the detailed indictment charges that presented their evidence of Trump's intent to obstruct the investigation. As the public becomes more aware of the DOJ's indictment contents, the court of public opinion will be the judge and jury until the real trial settles it. The national security nature of the documents that were the subject of this kicked it up to something more serious than what we knew at the beginning of the investigation, which began way before Trump announced his candidacy.

The court of public opinion will try the Trump classified doc case until the real deal
What sets Trump's case apart from Pence, Biden, and Clinton was there was either no proof of intent to obstruct ( as Barr, Trump's DOJ, concluded about Clinton) or they returned the documents voluntarily when asked. What about other cases, Hillary and a long list of others sent to prison recently, recently, have no meaning in a trial. They do have importance at the sentencing if Trump pleads or is found guilty. Trials are not about "what about X", but what about the accused, in this case, Trump. Some recently got a slap on the hand and others went to prison, depending on the facts in the cases.
Every time some Trump supporter raises " What about X" as their only defense, the answer is "What about Trump"? And then to repeat, repeat and repeat the details in the indictment, including witnesses and conversation recordings. What about the pictures? What about the recordings and issues of the attempt to fool his own attorney? etc. In time, those who have the temerity to "what about", deflect and deceive will give the opportunity for the other side to push back. The pushback must be always made to make this approach to educate the public about the indictment contents to get equal time.
