Representative James Comer (R-KY) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that because more classified documents have been found in President Joe Biden’s home, there seems to be a “double standard” between how the Department of Justice is handling his case and that of former President Donald Trump.
Comer said, “My concern is that special counsel was called for, but yet hours of that we still had the president’s personal attorneys who have no security clearance still rummaging around the president’s residence looking for things. That would essentially be a crime scene, so to speak, after the appointment of a special counsel. So we have a lot of questions for the National Archives. We have a lot of questions for the Department of Justice, and hopefully, we’ll be getting answers very soon.”
He continued, “We just want equal treatment here with respect to how both former President Trump and current President Biden are being treated with the document issue.”
Comer added, “The fact that they were quick to call for special counsel with Trump, it seems political here. It seems hypocritical. It seems like a double standard. That’s our concern. I have jurisdiction as chairman of the House Oversight Committee over the National Archives. This is the agency I’m most frustrated with because they have not been transparent at all. They should be briefing myself and ranking member Raskin who will be your next guest on the show, about what’s going on here. They never did tell us about November 2nd. We asked questions about what went on with Mar-a-Lago. Why was Mar-a-Lago raided but the president’s home not? Why are the president’s lawyers still allowed to rummage through looking for documents after a special counsel has been appointed?

"It doesn’t make sense. It’s not fair. We just want equal treatment."
yup- i had posted the following in another thread- says basically the same thing
-—Trump, who was authorized to declassified and take documents, and who had every right to take them, was raided in a big show of force by the fbi for th3 media tO exploit.
Biden, who was not authorized to take documents, nor to declassify them, took many classified documents, and stored them insecurely, and authorities could hardly care any less, and will do everything they can, with their special investigator, to cover it up and sweep it under the rug.
Nope, no two-tiered justice system here. Nothing to see, move right along!
What a sick farce our once great Republic has become.
The Forces of Evil have certainly prevailed with much success the last decade-
It isn’t about being fair. It’s about applying the law. Trump, as a former POTUS, was allowed to have classified documents in a locked location. Biden, as a former VPOTUS, was not allowed to have classified document, let alone in numerous unsecured locations.
Biden’s personal lawyers should immediately be arrested and tried for espionage, found guilty, and hanged.
Our government is under enemy occupation as far as I’m concerned.
“Biden’s personal lawyers should immediately be arrested and tried for espionage, found guilty, and hanged“
- This would be the case - in any sane world..
SPJNK.
Biden and Dems don’t care. They know it is one party rule with spineless Republicans as the opposition party.
“Biden’s personal lawyers should immediately be arrested and tried for espionage, found guilty, and hanged“
“”””””””””
Those aren’t lawyers, thems the cleaning crew. ;>)
That is the true felony that no one is talking about as far as Biden’s investigation!😠
Theft of government documents, (classified or non classified) from federal property!
The lie that it was Biden’s own papers .. doesn’t wash, it is B.S.
If documents are written on government equipment .. they are government property!
President Trump, as a Republican, was not allowed to have his lawyers present when the FBI search his house.
Biden, as a Democrat, was allowed to have his lawyers actually perform the search of his house.

I agree- Flipped over to fox news just for the heck of it today and those scum on there were comparing Trump to Biden, making trump out to look like a crook, while giving biden a pass practically- There were 3 on the panel, and they all basically repeated the same lying nonsense- Fox news is totally gone over to the dark side i guess- At least newsmax was defending Trump by stating the truth, that he had the right to declassify them and take them whereas biden did not-
