But Trump is being tried on this?🤬

[unixfox]

It’s TIME.

[fhayek]

Didn’t someone stick a banana peel in a tree a few years back and it triggered some sort of racial outrage?

[Dr. Sivana]

What would happen if citizens started sending bananas to the White House?

The packages would be opened nowhere near anyone important looking for explosives. No one who mattered would know about it, except maybe a mid-level person who would chuckle over the whole thing, glad to have gotten our collective goats.

What an utterly corrupt DOJ: It is going after Trump on this very same thing, yet is refusing to do it to Biden.

It’s OK to share documents with the CCP if you are on the CCP payroll.

Just ask The Meritless Garland.

[Paladin2]

Trump was not letting the CCP share his office at Mar A Logo.

THAT’s the problem here.....

[ought-six]

Yeah, you’re probably right.

[XRdsRev]

“Key difference. Biden returned his. Trump didn’t.”

Not a difference at all. Trump is not being charged with a violation of the Presidential Records Act (which has no criminal penalty anyway). He is being charged under the Espionage Act. Biden clearly could be charged under the same act for unauthorized possession of National Defense Information.

Banana Republic

Most of the people are idiots and fail to perceive the meaning of that phrase (beyond the clothing store name).

[justme4now]

He also committed theft when he took those papers from the skiff(sp?).

[joesbucks]

You’re correct on the Presidential Records Act. There are no criminal penalties or an enforcement mechanism associated with this law but other federal laws do punish folks for mishandling government records. For instance, under U.S. Code Title 18, section 2071, someone could face a fine and up to three years in prison. (P)Trump is charged with willfully retaining national defense information, concealing a document in a federal investigation, corruptly concealing those documents, scheming to conceal, false statements and representations, withholding documents, etc. The old coverup is worse than the crime. (P)When discovered, did Biden do any of that?

[justme4now]

You seem to have lost your way?

Biden had no authority to “Steal” those documents.

Trump didn’t have to still them, he had the authority!

[justme4now]

“STEAL”

[joesbucks]

The difference. Trump is charged with willfully retaining national defense information, concealing a document in a federal investigation, corruptly concealing those documents, scheming to conceal, false statements and representations, withholding documents, etc. The old coverup is worse than the crime. (P)When discovered, did Biden do any of that?

[Fledermaus]

Only when ge got caught. Trump declassified his, he was President.

Learn your facts.

[joesbucks]

When did he declassify them?

[justme4now]

You do have those CNN talking points down.🥴

[MachIV]

Probably. That’s the kind of insanity I’m referring to.

[joesbucks]

Funny you call them cnn talking points. Those are the category headings of the charges on the indictment. Now I know he’s innocent until found guilty. But what I wrote wasn’t spin. It was the categories and charges against him. Biden did none of those things. So maybe it’s you using talking points?

[joesbucks]

Curious. You have the dates of declassification?
