    Default The Real Differences Between the Biden and Trump Document Troves

    The Real Differences Between the Biden and Trump Document Troves

    https://pjmedia.com/columns/victor-d...roves-n1665145

    Secret service agents and private security were stationed at Mar-a-Lago. Prior to the 2020 presidential election they were not at citizen Biden’s various troves for most of 2017-2020, much less prior to 2009.

    We seem to forget that for much of the developing controversy, Biden’s own team was investigating Biden.

    Trump is certainly right that as president he had a far more substantial claim of declassification rights than did Biden, who took the papers out either as a senator or vice president.

    The FBI was not merely asymmetrical in melodramatically raiding the Trump home while allowing Biden lawyers to inspect various Biden stashes. The FBI also leaked the purported contents of the subjects of the Trump classified documents (falsely spreading the lie of “nuclear codes” and “nuclear secrets”) in a way it has not with the Biden cache.
    The article cites 10 differences, but does not make a point of this directly. Biden's caches were in the several unsecured locations for at least 6 years, and in the case of those from when he was a Senator, 14 or more years. Trump's home was raided a mere year after he left the WH. IOW 6-14 years of unsecured secret custody vs 1 year of known secured custody.

    Most importantly...Trump had the authority to de-classified his documents.

    You have to know the day is coming when the media begins using "diminished capacity" as a defense for every single one of Biden's catastrophes.

    Ah, Archives requested from Trump documents they knew he has, he refused, saying he didn’t have them, to which Archives referred the mater to the DOJ, who after a five month of stonewalling and lying by Trump, searched his property. Archives didn’t even know Biden had documents, nor seemingly did he, and when found, he voluntarily turned them in

    Biden stored classified documents in multiple non-secure locations, a violation of the federal code, a crime.

    Biden then had his lawyers screen the classified documents before the FBI was there. The evidence in a crime was screened by the lawyers of the man who is being investigated. Can you say obstruction of justice?

    Trump de-classified his documents, his home was raided at 3 AM by the FBI with drawn AK's and his lawyers were not allowed on his property.

    Called intention “earl,” Biden didn’t hide documents intentionally from the Archives nor later DOJ, in fact, as I said, they, and Biden, didn’t even know they he had any classified documents. While on the other hand, Trump intentionally took the documents, lied about having them, and fought to return them, as I said, apples and oranges

    And to prove you yourself don’t believe your “arguments,” you aren’t saying the same thing about Pence as you are Biden, and their situation is exactly the same

    The Hill says differently, Anchovies.

    The truth about Biden’s document debacle: He didn’t ‘self-report’

    The truth about Biden’s document debacle: He didn’t ‘self-report’

    https://thehill.com/opinion/white-ho...t-self-report/

    On Nov. 2, 2022, the first batch of classified documents — some of which were marked “TS/SCI” (i.e., top secret, sensitive compartmented information), the classification level applied to the government’s most sensitive intelligence — were found by Biden’s private lawyers at the Penn Biden Center in Washington, in an office the president used as a private citizen after his term as Obama administration vice president ended.
    ...
    What happened next is critical: The Biden private attorney who took the lead on the first batch of documents is Patrick Moore. Moore did not report his discovery of highly classified documents retained in an unlawful place to law-enforcement — i.e., to the FBI or the Department of Justice (DOJ). He reported them to the Biden White House.
    ...
    So, who reported the matter to law enforcement? That was done by the office of NARA’s inspector general, Dr. Brett M. Baker. The IG is not an ordinary executive official. Rather, it is a watchdog position, created by Congress to keep the agency on the straight and narrow by conducting internal investigations and reporting misconduct to Congress. ...
    ...
    Biden did not report his misconduct to law-enforcement or to the public. ... The public learned about Biden’s illegal retention of classified intelligence because CBS News — not Biden — reported it on Jan. 9. Only then did the White House and the president confess that the CBS report was true.

    But here’s the thing: Prior to Jan. 9, there had been a second discovery of illegally retained classified documents: the ones found in Biden’s Wilmington garage on Dec. 20. CBS mustn’t have known about that one because it wasn’t mentioned in the Jan. 9 report. ...

    Poor Anchovies.

    Biden tried at least twice to keep this under the rug - the original discovery and the initial discovery at his Wilmington house.

    Some key points:

    * Biden's right to possess classified documents ended when he left the office from which he derived that right. IOW, his right to possess documents received as a Senator ended when he ceased being a Senator, January 2009. Similarly, his right to possess documents from his time as VP ended in January 2017.

    * Biden illegally retained classified documents from when he was VP and stored them in improperly secured locations for six years! Biden illegally retained classified documents from when he was Senator and stored them in improperly secured locations for 14 years. And that assumes he didn't store those documents insecurely for even longer than the date he left the two offices!

    Ah, no, an opinion piece in the Hill says otherwise, you do know what opinion piece means don’t you, and by the way, it isn’t accessible, but is probably the same McCarthy piece you offered earlier, and you do know who McCarthy is correct
