Brit Hume: Trump Gets Prosecuted on Classified Docs But Hillary Doesn’t, ‘That Sticks out Like a Sore Thumb’

‘The other side is, certainly he has been treated unequally in a number of instances’

EXCERPT:

HUME: "Well, Shannon, it's hard to know what the effect will be on the primary voters, but a significant plurality of them has stood by him through thick and thin and may well stand by him through this and be prepared to give him pluralities in primaries around the country against a split field of opponents, which means he could still get the nomination, even in the face of these obviously serious charges. That is one side of it. The other side of this is simply this: When he claims he has been treated unfairly, certainly he has been treated unequally in a number of instances. The most conspicuous example of that is the Hillary Clinton case, in which there was clearly grounds for a case. James Comey, who was the FBI chief at the time, said as much, but said that no prosecutor would bring the case. That's the case of prosecutorial discretion which was exercised in her favor in a case with striking similarities to this one. So, she does not get prosecuted, he does. And there are other instances, obviously, Biden and Pence and others who have had classified documents, perhaps, who were not prosecuted, and he could make an argument that they were -- you know, Trump was defiant with his and they were compliant about returning heirs. But in the end, the Hillary Clinton case sticks out like a sore thumb as a case of unequal treatment. And the Trump people will never, in my judgment, will never think this was a legitimate prosecution no matter what."
