Trump Attorney Says FBI Barred Her From Overseeing Mar-a ...https://www.businessinsider.com › Politics › News
Aug 10, 2022 — The FBI searched Donald Trump's Mar-A-Lago home Monday evening. ... Trump's attorney says she was barred from observing the search.
Quite different from Biden.
Biden’s lawyers were allowed to sift through the evidence at a crime scene...before the FBI was there.
The lawyers at a crime scene allowed to cull the evidence.
Un-believable.

No, so? Its protocol not to allow that when executing a search warrant. Should Trump have had special treatment?
They were not executing a search warrant in Biden's case. Big difference.
Why no for Trump and, according to you, Yes for Brandon?
Did anyone have to go to Biden and ask him to return classified documents, no. Ask him if he had any classified materials, no. Even know that he had classified materials, no.
So if no one knew Biden had materials yet the materials have come forward who in the hell bought them forward? Who made everyone aware they existed and he had them?
You and McCarthy are wrong, attempted to reframe facts to sell a fabrication, there is a reason it is on such as “hot air”
They were executing a search warrant because Trump refused to turn over the documents.
Biden did not refuse so no warrant was necessary, no warrant no warrant protocols.
You are making some very big assumptions. The age of the documents does not indicate when they were placed in Biden’s location. The location of the documents does not indicate that he knew they were there.
One time, for example, my sister left some court papers at my house, they were in a drawer that I do not usually look In. Many years after she had left them there, I found them. I did not know they had been there all those years. Maybe my wife put those papers there, maybe my housekeeper, it could’ve been my kids. I don’t know exactly when she had left them. The papers were from 20 some odd years ago, but I’ve only lived in this house for 13 years.
If those papers have been a classified document, I would not be in legal Jeopardy. If, however, national archives called me and said you have classified documents, please turn them over, and I refused, then I would be in legal jeopardy. If, after refusing , a court issued a subpoena for those documents, and I refuse to turn them over I would be in even further legal trouble.

In order to break the law in question you do not need to "know" or have a "sinister purpose" you simply need to have exposed the documents. And having only one person cleared that has access to the documents does provide a clear and reasonable path to who brought them there. Pretending that folks just drop by Biden's house to drop off documents from his time in the Senate is an absurdity only someone who voted for him would believe, much like the idiots who believe that Trump "declassified every document in his home" on "standing orders". While I do not know if he broke the law, I also do not know that the docs form Biden's VP time broke the law (because of the plenary power), but I do know that the docs from his time in the Senate did break that law as he could in no way have the documents in his house without breaking that law.
Simply being irresponsible with the documents is enough. Taking them from the SCIF at all is enough... and would have been enough for me to lose my job, get an OTH discharge and spend time in Leavenworth as a prisoner, not a guard.
You honestly don’t believe that Biden had meetings in his home in Delaware that people who attended brought secret documents to? You don’t think it’s possible that Biden was never made aware that such documents were classified? The fact that documents were found in an office vacated two years ago, or even in his garage, is not evidence that he knew about them That is simply not enough to survive a summary judgment in a criminal prosecution.
What we do know is that soon after Trump left the presidency, he was told about classified documents in his possession that are owned by Archives, for two years after that, he refused compulsory legal requirements to return them, and then complained when a warrant was issued.

I didn't ask about a warrant. I asked about the lawyers.
Cope.
And the need for a warrant is the reason the lawyers were not allowed to attend the search.
Biden sat by while FBI agents searched his home for 13 hours.. He did not protest or legally try to stop them. The fact that the papers sat for years should tell you he was doing nothing with them.
Nope, Trump did not. He stole classified documents by the truckload. https://thehill.com/opinion/3622679...thing-its-barred-by-the-nixon-tapes-decision/ The classification act of 1994 set the parameters. Trump followed none.

Actually, there is. Contrary to trump's belief that he can declassify documents via delusions, there is specific protocol for declassifying anything.
trump did nothing.
Documents weren't declassified.

Pretty hard to self report something you didn't know existed.
