The Issue: The release of former President Donald Trump’s mugshot after he was processed on charges in Georgia.
Thursday was booking day for former President Donald Trump — with Fulton County Georgia sheriff Pat Labat acting in an egregious manner (“Orange is the new black!” Aug. 25).
He earlier asserted that Trump would be treated as any other individual subject during this process. This guy is trying to get face time in the national media.
Trump is the 45th president of the United States. He should never have been treated as any common criminal during the booking process, including getting a mug shot taken.
Trump should have been treated with the dignity associated with the office which he once occupied as president of the United States, and that means differently and preferentially.

I can guarantee that if former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, former Presidents Barack Obama or Bill Clinton, President Biden or any other prominent Democrat did the exact same things that Trump has done, none of these prosecutors would be bringing cases against them.
That is proof that justice is not being applied equally. If you cannot see that, you are either being disingenuous or you are naive.
