Trump responds to Biden classified document discovery, asks when FBI will raid his ‘many homes’
The Hill ^ | January 9, 2023 | Julia Mueller

Posted on 01/10/2023 6:07:12 AM PST by grundle

Former President Trump responded Monday to the breaking news that the Justice Department is reviewing classified documents from President Biden’s tenure as vice president that were found last fall in a private office Biden had previously used.

“When is the FBI going to raid the many homes of Joe Biden, perhaps even the White House? These documents were definitely not declassified,” Trump said on his Truth Social account, sharing an article on the document discovery from CBS News.

The Obama-Biden era documents were found by the president’s attorneys while clearing out an office he used when he served as an honorary professor at the University of Pennsylvania’s Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement in Washington, according to Biden’s special counsel Richard Sauber.

Biden’s legal team notified the National Archives, which took possession of the materials, Sauber said. The documents are now reportedly being looked at by the U.S. attorney general for Chicago, with cooperation from the White House.

Trump was referring to the FBI’s execution of a search warrant last summer at his Mar-a-Lago residence, where investigators found more than a hundred classified documents kept past his time in the White House.

Trump is now under investigation for his handling of the classified materials.

“We were told for months that this was treasonous… grounds for impeachment… & meriting the death penalty, yet I have a feeling nothing will happen!?” wrote Trump’s son Donald Trump Jr. on Twitter, retweeting the CBS article.

Notably, Biden’s team notified the Archives and turned over the documents upon discovery, while Trump apparently kept classified materials even after requests from the Archives to return them.

The Presidential Records Act requires that presidential and vice presidential records be turned over to the National Archives at the end of a given administration for preservation and to protect classified material.

That is an absolute lie and The Hill knows it is a lie. The National Archives went to Mara Largo and went through his papers. They took some back to the Archives. They were not obstructed in their cataloging of these papers. In fact, Trump informed them he would assist them in any manner. THE HILL LIES.

Where’s the 24/7 call of threat to Democracy from CNN, MSNBC, et.al.?

This will be mostly ignored with a short article in the New York Slimes on page 12, so they can say, “Look, we covered it, what’s your problem?” It will be forgotten by Tuesday.

Most people won’t hear about this. Hey Ronna, you fat piece of leftist excrement, do your eff’n job. Run ads everywhere that expose Biden and the hypocrisy of Democrats and the mainstream media. Put pressure on the scumbags at the DOJ and FBI to do their jobs. Be mean about it. Get real nasty. That way the MSN will at least talk about your ads.

The GOP won’t do that. They are moronic pussies.

The fact that the gov told him to put an extra lock on the door...says he kept ANY of the documents with permission. And don’t tell me they didn’t know every single paper that was locked up.

Biden couldn’t risk his 3 homes raided by the FBI.

Benedict Biden’s theft of classified Federal documents is a very SERIOUS CRIME, because unlike with Trump, the VP does NOT have the power to declassify, only the POTUS! He should be IMMEDIATELY IMPEACHED!
