In the final weeks of the presidential campaign, major newspapers are giving former President Donald Trumpās federal criminal indictment for alleged crimes related to the January 6 insurrection a fraction of the coverage they gave former Secretary of State Hillary Clintonās use of a private email server in 2016, according to a new Media Matters study. Media Matters reviewed print coverage in five newspapers ā Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, and The Washington Post ā for stories mentioning Trumpās indictment in the week following U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkanās October 2 unsealing of special counsel Jack Smithās latest filing, which reveals damning new evidence of the former presidentās alleged crimes.Ā We found the papers ran 26 combined articles mentioning Trumpās indictment in the week after the unsealing of Smithās filing. But those same papers published 100 combined articles ā nearly 4 times as many ā that mentioned Clintonās server in the week after then-FBI Director James Comeyās notorious October 28, 2016, letter on new developments in that probe, as we documented in a 2016 study. The papers ran more than 6 times as many combined front-page stories that mentioned Clintonās server (46) as they did front-page stories that mentioned Trumpās indictment (7) over those periods. Obsessive news media focus on Clintonās server in the final weeks of the 2016 presidential campaign helped Trump to victory, even as Comey ultimately reconfirmed that no charges were appropriate in the case. But eight years later, with one presidential candidate facing active prosecution for federal charges related to his attempt to subvert an election, outlets are making different choices.
Seriously? Is it even possible to not know? Or you just like making people list them?

Thereās of course more, but isnāt that already enough?
Unless you wanted Hillary Clintonās for comparison. She used her personal e-mail address a lot instead of the one she is supposed to use as a high ranking government employee. Her e-mails may, and did, contain classified information. Only the official government e-mail server is intended to be used for sending classified infirmation due to risk of breach by outside individuals. No such breach seems to have occurred, but still a crime to have put them in a position where they werenāt officially as secure as they could have been.
The result of going through 60ā000 plus e-mails was that no intentional wrong was done and they recommended no charges.

Now that we are on the topic of improper handling of classified materialsā¦ guess what else Trump has doneā¦ and like, actually. Like in a way that resulted in actually being charged.
He Illegally stored a bunch of classified material where he was living, and while having that information, invited foreign government officials to also stay there. We canāt know if anything intentionally malicious happened. But we can certainly assume that classified information was not āas secure as it should have beenā. And when asked to bring that classified material he was illegally storing back, he refused.
