Extract from Hurs report on Bidens criminal handling of classified documents

In his summary, he writes:

because as vice president and president, he had authority to keep classified documents in his home.

I find this statement to be not only lacking in fact, but also ignores the documents he stole as a Senator.

Can someone find me the law that says that a Vice President has the authority to keep classified documents in unsecured locations in their homes? Anyone?
 
Another one:

Several defenses are likely to create reasonable doubt as to such charges. For example, Mr. Eiden could have found the classified Afghanistan documents at his Virginia home in 2017 and then forgotten about them soon after. This could convince some reasonable jurors that he did not retain them willfully. When Mr. Eiden told his ghostwriter about finding ''all the classified stuff downstairs," his tone was matter-of-fact. For a person who had viewed classified documents nearly every day for eight years as vice president, including regularly in his home, finding classified at home less than a month after leaving office could have been an unremarkable and forgettable event. Notably, the classified Afghanistan documents did not come up again in Mr. Biden's dozens of hours of recorded conversations with the ghostwriter, or in his book. And the place where the Afghanistan documents were eventually found in Mr. Biden's Delaware garage-in a badly damaged box surrounded by household detritus-suggests the documents might have been forgotten.

Since when does a prosecutor provide excuses or defenses for the person they are hired to investigate??? This is very strange and more evidence of the lack of seriousness given this case.
 
Again:

In addition to this shortage of evidence, there are other innocent explanations for the documents that we cannot refute. When Mr. Eiden told his ghostwriter he "just found all the classified stuff downstairs," he could have been referring to something other than the Afghanistan documents, and our report discusses these possibilities in detail.

WOW!!! So the FACT that he has the documents is not evidence they were illegally taken? I have never seen such a dumb argument in my lifetime, other than those from Democrats and MSNBC.
 
This one is priceless; after saying there was a lack of evidence, he goes on with this:

Some evidence also suggests Mr. Eiden knew he could not keep classified handwritten notes at home after leaving office. Mr. Eiden, who had decades of experience with classified information, was deeply familiar with the measures taken to safeguard classified information and the need for those measures to prevent harm to national security. Asked about reports that former President Trump had kept classified documents at his own home, Mr. Eiden wondered how "anyone could be that irresponsible" and voiced concern about "[w]hat data was in there that may compromise sources and methods." While vice president, he kept his notebooks in a White House safe for a time, in contrast with his decision after leaving office to keep them at home in unlocked drawers.
 
As he told his ghostwriter during a recorded interview, the same staff who arranged to secure his classified notecards "didn't even know" he had retained possession of his classified notebooks. Twice in 2017, Mr. Eiden visited the National Archives SCIF to review his classified notecards while writing his book. Yet he kept his notebooks, which also contained classified information, in unlocked drawers at home. He had strong motivations to do so and to ignore the rules for properly handling the classified information in his notebooks. He consulted the notebooks liberally during hours of discussions with his ghostwriter and viewed them as highly private and valued possessions with which he was unwilling to part.

Again, I refer to 18 U.S. Code § 1924. He broke the law.

Then, this douchebag fake prosecutor goes on to make excuses for Biden's criminal behavior:

We do not, however, believe this evidence would meet the government's burden at trial~particularly the requirement to prove that Mr. Eiden intended to do something the law forbids. Consistent with statements Mr. Eiden made during our interview of him and arguments made by the White House Counsel and Mr. Biden's personal counsel, we expect Mr. Eiden's defense at trial would be that he thought his notebooks were his personal property and he was allowed to take them home, even if they contained classified information.

So Trump, a former President with the cover of the PRA, cannot presume his documents were personal property while negotiating with the National Archives? I'm sorry, but we, the people do not think you can allow one to make such conclusions and criminally charge another for having even more right to these documents.

I would conclude that this was NEVER a serious investigation and this Special Prosecutor was assigned to provide cover. I don't think the American people are going to buy this bullshit, except of course the willfully stupid and mentally challenged supporters of Democrats and Biden.
 
Now for the best part of the entire summary:

During our interview of him, Mr. Eiden was emphatic, declaring that his notebooks are "my property" and that "every president before me has done the exact same thing," that is, kept and written classified materials after leaving office. Ho also cited the diaries that President Reagan kept in his private home after leaving office, noting that they included classified information.

Yet, Biden and the corrupt DOJ do not think Trump had that right?

By the way, Biden was not a President. He didn't have the authority given to Presidents under the PRA and through precedent. He violated our laws and then claimed he had the right.
