Having a Prosecution Complex

As most people have grasped by now, Trump has been complaining about all the cases against him – from the House impeachments, the Special Counsel investigation, and state and local lawsuits.  He’s given a great many reasons, whatever happens to be handy at the time – I didn’t know that woman, I had a right to steal the classified government documents, no one takes the loan form seriously, I paid back that the money I got deceptively, and others.  Claiming that he has absolute immunity is another one high on the list, although that’s plummeted ever since a federal appeals court ruled unanimously that the only thing “absolute” about his insistence was that it had absolutely no merit.
 
Overriding all his arguments, however, is his thesis is that every one of these lawsuits is just political and a witch hunt, that Democrats are only going after him because he’s their leading opponent, because he’s done nothing wrong.
 
One thing recently occurred to me, though and got me scratching my head about this claim.  I don't know why it hasn't occurred to me before, in this specific and particular way, but that's the way it seems to go sometimes.  Things stare you in the face and are obvious -- and even get referenced -- but just not the right way without the light shining on them as it should.  So, you move a few steps over and go...ahhh, okay, there is the picture.
 
It’s that in Trump making this his banner to ride under – that he’s a victim because all investigations against him are political and witch hunts because he’s the leading political opponent – he overlooks a significant reality.  And it's that --
 
President Biden is being investigated for impeachment by the House Oversight Committee.  And President Biden was investigated by a Special Counsel for taking classified government documents.  And President Biden, through any connections to his son Hunter, has been investigated by the Department of Justice for two years.  And also, just to toss in another reality, President Biden -- being, y'know, president -- is the leading opponent of Republicans.
 
In other words, Trump is not only not even remotely alone in being investigated, but it’s really pretty much the exact same thing.
 
Though, going a step further, there is, admittedly, one difference.
 
On the one hand, Trump so far has been found liable by a jury for the equivalence of rape, and found guilty of defamation, twice.  And been convicted of business fraud and had a judgement against him of $453 million including interest.  And has his charity foundation sued and shut down for a “shocking pattern of illegality.”  While on the other hand, the House Oversight Committee has found zero evidence against President Biden, and its major witness disappeared and was later discovered to be an agent for China, after which the committee’s star witness was arrested by the FBI for lying and obstruction.  And the Special Counsel investigating classified documents said that there was no evidence President Biden committed a crime.  And the other Special Counsel has only charged Hunter Biden (over personal gun and tax issues totally unrelated to bribery claims) and has not found anything at all to charge President Biden with.
 
So, it seems that not only is Trump not alone in the slightest with being investigated, but when it comes to facing purely political lawsuits and witch hunts – President Joe Biden has an overwhelmingly more substantial case to make than Trump…who has no case.
 
Yet somehow the news story for the past two years – perhaps because Trump yells and whines daily, while President Biden quietly does his job – is Trump’s unsupported and self-persecuted cries of being investigated alone.  With no balanced perspective of the reality.  Which is a shameful waste of reality.
 
Because in the end, it turns out that there are political investigations and witch hunts to find non-existent crimes against a leading presidential candidate.  It’s just that they aren’t directed at Trump.
