These Docs predate Biden as POTUS.
Meaning he stole them from a SCIF.

People in their right minds who care about the country could never defend the factual details of Donald Trump’s conduct, as alleged in the federal indictment unsealed last week.
No one is going to say, “It makes total sense to me that he was storing the crown jewels of national defense — such as how other countries could go about attacking American military vulnerabilities — next to the toilet at a beach club.”
No one is going to say, “I can certainly see why Trump would refuse to return such top-secret intelligence to government officials, who pleaded with him for over a year to return it before finally resorting to coercive measures.”
No one is going to say, “It was so vitally important for Trump, who had no official government duties in his post-presidency, to retain possession of top-secret government intelligence reports that it made sense for him to defy a subpoena and mislead a grand jury in order to keep them.”
No one is going to say, “If a Democratic former president had done what Trump did, I’d be fine with that.”

Since Trump’s conduct is indefensible, his apologists have adopted the familiar tactic of making bombastic claims that the prosecution is so fundamentally unfair and un-American that the facts don’t matter. Remarkably, the people asserting these claims never tire of pointing out that Trump is not merely a former president but a current presidential candidate. Putting aside whether he is guilty of crimes (he appears to be, but he’ll get his day in court), what could possibly be more relevant to his fitness for the presidency than the facts of the case?

If there is one thing Andrew McCarthy knows, it’s frivolous.
Excellent. If you are a lwayer or understand legalize (I don’t), I would like to here your feedback after you watch the video.
I’ve been watching Barnes for years and haven’t caught him lying or gaslighting. But I do know that laws are messy. Would love to hear your take.
McCarthy will make an extra $50 Grand from FOX for peddling this on shows.I think you understand now why he's spouting this silliness.
How does he know what was in those boxes in the bathroom. Trump had to have hundreds of boxes with personnel papers after four years.
“he was storing the crown jewels of national defense”
Andrew McCarthy should do stand-up comedy. Does he know what the documents actually contain? If so, charge him with espionage. If not, he’s a spinning fraud.
B) Grassley: The FBI made Congress review a redacted, unclassified document in a classified facility. That goes to show you the disrespect that the FBI has for Congress

He better never show up at my door—on fire & needing assistance.
A random poster on FreeRepublic knows more than the "vaunted" Andrew McCarthy.
Lemme see. Rich Lowry or Andrew McCarthy. Wanted to guess before I looked as to which drek wrote this crap.
“As much as I loved Rush Limbaugh”
Wish he were here to give his insights. I personally have no idea where the case will go. I believe there’s reasoning behind both sides that we aren’t aware of.
I wonder if Trump did what he did to pick this fight.

That’s funny.
McCarthy is a Democrat before all, then he’s a DoJ Prosecutor, and he’s admitted it.
It doesn’t make any difference. Trump makes the sole determination. There is no higher authority in the Executive branch than President. Trump does not need permission or process to possess any document. Congress does not have the power to do anything either. The appropriate thing for Trump to say is that everything is personal.
A key to reading any statute or Executive Order on the subject is to understand that they are written for everyone other than the President. The President doesn’t write EO’s to order himself. Congress cannot change fundamental powers in the Constitution. Their check and balance is the power of oversight and the power of the purse. Congress can’t tell the President to do a damn thing.
When Rush died, that was an open door for the evil rats. The death of Rush opened the floodgates of evil lies and much much more worse things coming from the demon rats. And with Tucker removed, they have all the freedom in the world to lie to the American people 24/7. Unfortunately, Americans are still very visual, and Tucker was our only hope in a grand scale to bring forth the truth to the American people. He was such a threat and that’s why they removed him. There’s no one to stop them now… they own ALL the crucial new networks. Now you know why they were celebrating and having parties when rush died. That was their golden opportunity to usher in their utopian hell hole upon the rest of us. God I miss him VERY VERY MUCH 😢
Jeez, not Andrew McCarthy again.
I miss him too.
