"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.

Should be called The Phew!
Sunny Hostin should be ridden out on a rail.
It's not like "classified" classified ...
Some will get that reference others not ...
President Retard caught be a crook again. ABC and their libtard yapping dogs would rather forget the whole thing
You're an idiot. But you know that already.
I've always thought, and posted as much here, that the raid on Mar-A-Lago was theater and that the "secret documents" that Trump took were probably little more than the personal correspondence with other foreign leaders that he kept as souvenirs rather than turning them over to the National Archives. Big deal. I'm sure Obama did the same thing, as did every other president before him.
And now we now Biden squirrelled away documents.
Furthermore, it has always been my belief that Trump could've declassified whatever he wished merely by saying he did. And again, my posting history reflects this.
I'm happy to see Trump vindicated on this and have enjoyed seeing liberal heads explode over at DU.
