'The View' host declares Biden document scandal 'huge win for Trump,' 'kills' Mar-a-Lago case
Fox News ^ | 1/10/23 | Hanna Panreck

Posted on 01/10/2023 11:31:49 AM PST by conservative98

"The View" co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin declared the discovery of classified documents at the Penn Biden Center was a "huge win" for Donald Trump and said it "kills" the Mar-a-Lago case.

"Absolutely no one's going to like this take, but I'm going to go there anyway," Farah Griffin, a former Trump administration aide, began. "I want to be clear the facts are different then the Trump case, however I think this is a huge win for Trump. Because if you're Merrick Garland, who is already extremely cautious and doesn't want to break the longstanding precedent of not indicting a president, it's very hard to make the case that Donald Trump should be indicted for this, even though the facts are different, when he can argue, ‘well, now the vice president also took home classified documents.’ I think this kills the case."

Co-host Sunny Hostin disagreed and said, "facts matter," insisting that Biden and Trump's cases were not comparable.

Hostin said Trump had "top-secret classified information including things that would put people’s lives in danger including nuclear documents and there were 300 documents found."

"That's like comparing apples to orangutans," she said.

Farah Griffin said that the legal standard was not "where" the classified documents were kept.

"That doesn't legally change the fact that you did not transport them securely," she said. She also played a clip of President Biden responding to the documents found at Mar-a-Lago.

"How that could possibly happen, how one anyone could be that irresponsible?" Biden said during an interview, reacting to the documents found at Mar-a-Lago.

Co-host Sara Haines agreed with Farah Griffin and said that the discovery of these documents was not going to help the case against Trump.

You bet. Trump did it legally, Biden did it illegally.

The real difference between the two is that Biden’s docs were related to sensitive/embarrassing/criminal evidence of graft/influence pedaling documents to protect himself from prosecution. Trump’s docs refuted malicious prosecution/political prosecution/Hillary dirty tricks.

If the Democrats had held onto the House of Representatives, they’d be singing a different tune.

Correct.

I am thinking that they might be in the initial stages of removing pig face.

Next election we might see Snoozum run.

Good grief I can’t stand the women on that ridiculous show, they play to the lowest common denominator. Actually that’s what I think that show is designed for, to brainwash it’s uneducated audience, and to help keep black women on the Democratic plantation.

"I want to be clear the facts are different then the Trump case, Really? How? .

Trump had the authority to declare them unclassified as President, Biden did not as he was VP when he stole these highly classified secret documents potentially putting our country at risk.

“Joe Biden “ and “think tank “ do not belong in the same sentence together.

Maybe Biden can plead dementia.

The DOJ does investigations for 2 reasons

two make headlines or prosecution against political opponents

or to gather information, find out what is known - so they can suppress it.

Biden’s “classified docs” will be the latter

Trump was President and can declasify documents.

Biden was Vice President and could not.

Further, the latest appears to be that the Biden docs were intel on Iran and Ukraine, and cover the period of the Maidan uprising.

It’s much worse as Biden, as VP, did not have Executive Privilege. Book him Danno.
