This is hypocritical. Charge one man with a felony, raid his home, put his face all over TV...THEN.. don't charge another with the same thing because he's just an "elderly man with a poor memory".

This is known as the "false equivalence fallacy".
False equivalency. Trump's team obstructed the investigation and is currently arguing in court that they have a right to the piles of documents they took.
I mean, there's also the extenuating circumstance that the Biden administration returned the documents when they were discovered, whereas Trump told the government to go fuck itself.
Sure... he didn't make copies or let anyone look at them... Can some ONE say double standard? Maybe they are DRM protected? Or is that only for pesant's media
DRM is becoming quite common now in the business world. It's baked into Microsoft office in the form of Azure Information Protection (AIP). You set classification labels and it gets encrypted at the highest levels. Office automatically obtains the key if the person opening it has access. It's pretty nice actually. Wouldn't be surprised if the government uses it or something similar.
