Yes, they are totally different.
Trump was legal
Biden was illegal
Yep! Nothing to see here! Move on.
Biden had documents that described the lunch menu at the White House, and he kept them in his bedroom drawer that nobody sees.
Trump had the ultra-top-secret launch codes for nuclear weapons sitting on the tank of his toilet where anyone could pick them up and initiate launches of nuclear weapons to destroy the world.
There is a big, big, difference here people! Get on the ball!
I haven’t been really following this story but just off the top my head the difference is : the president can declassify whatever he wants , the VP can’t
Of course the VP has the authority to declassify any govt docs. Especially when he’s a Demorat. It’s written on the back of the Declaration of Independence, post script.
What happened to the storage room where the FBI asked to have an additional lock added to the door?
Has this first visit to Mar-a-Lago dropped into the memory hole?
-PJ
How many classified documents has Biden stashed at his home in Deleware and his beach house? They want us to believe that the ONLY documents were at the laughably termed “Biden Think Tank”. The thinking going on there is so shallow there is no chance Biden will drown. The only thing they think about is what lies he tells.
James Zirin, leftist “journalist” opinion writer. Noted.
Let the leftist gaslighting begin!!
Some animals are more equal than others.
Just as with President Trump and Democrats’ insistence he committed TREASON, I’d say that installed President Biden needs to be brought up on TREASON charges, too.
House AND Senate repudiation of his WANTON disregard for safeguarding classified information, illegal storage and conspiracy to commit TREASON.
What’s good for the Goose is good for the Gander.
Screw him. Hound him for the next two years AND after his debacle of a Presidency ends, too.
I’m wondering if the Chinese women who tried to get into Mar-a-Lago two or three years ago were after these papers. Trump’s security kept the women out. How did U of Penn and U of Del protect Biden’s classified documents? Did they keep the Chinese away from them...or Russians, or anybody?
About this attempted obstruction of Justice business. What do they think it was when Biden lied and announced that he never had access to any classified documents?
There is a lot of difference.
But, the constant thing is the treatment of classified documents by all of these people. If these documents are so important, why aren’t they tracked and accounted for?
Either change the “over classification” or enforce the rules. For every person dealing with them.
Yep, completely different fruit indeed.
Who had access to the office at the Penn/Biden ‘Think Tank’ for the years the classified documents were kept in a ‘locked closet’? (We know that the Secret Service controlled access to Mar a Lago.)
What authority did VP Biden have to possess and retain classified documents? (We know that as President, Trump had authority to access and for that matter declassify any document).
And interestingly, why did all this come out after the November election, as opposed to when the stash was found?
But we have been told that Trump is a ‘thief and a liar’ and Biden gets a pass because he isn’t. (Biden not a liar??) We have been also told that even looking at this is just the Hillary e-mails redux and not worth any news coverage.
The article argues that since the Archives weren’t looking for Biden’s documents then it’s not a violation of the rules. What’s the point in having rules if whether they are violated or not is a matter of discretion for the people tasked with enforcing them?
“Chain of custody: Recovered papers were not in Biden’s continuous possession. Trump’s documents were in his continuous possession.”
If Biden did not maintain continuous possession of these documents, then theoretically we have no idea who had access to, read or copied them. That seems like recklessness right there.
“Cooperation: Biden’s lawyers found the documents and alerted the National Archives.”
Biden’s lawyers notified the National Archives after these documents had been missing for five years. Why did no one from the Biden administration ever notify the appropriate authorities that they had these documents during the time they were removed from the White House to the time they were found in an office closet ??
Ugh The Hill is just trash move on.
Count on The Hill to Shill.
