Keep up the positive thinking. You mean like packed up in boxes and stored somewhere. What you don't seem to understand is that you have to prove intent to violate the rules in order to be held criminally responsible. Possession is not enough. That's a very high bar to clear. Very occasionally, there's someone who's mentally defective and gives the government an abundance of the evidence it needs. Someone recently has done just that. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the help of the DOJ, of course. The House GOP guys are bawlin' away, like he just stole their lunch. And he did. Probably the biggest bawler is hypocrite Kevin McCarthy. Remembered his infamous warning to DOJ Garland to çlean'his calendar and prepare for an investigation by the GOPs in Trump's case and compare to "DOJ must probe Biden's document". What a predictable clown. Anyway, appointment of special council is the right move by DOJ. There are very little similarities in magnitude, cooperation and intent in both cases. At end of the investigation, GOP will be further embarrassed. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I buy a lottery ticket, it remains to be seen whether or not I've won the grand prize. Since anything is possible, it may turn out that there is a basis for criminal prosecution. But the odds are clear vanishingly small. I have just seen the the US AG video who clarifies that classified documents batches two and three (I didn't know there was a third batch) found in Pres. Biden's car in a locked garage at his residence in Delaware and in the garage too. So Pres. Biden didn't know these documents were in his office and now he didn't know they were in his car and garage. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bendejo Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Bringing the car into the conversation, that's pretty smooth! Easy diversion from whatever else and start talking about the car. And this second prosecutor fellow, he may discover he needs access to (can you guess?) a certain laptop, thus snatching the case from the attacking dogs.

I'm no lawyer, but it sounds a false assertion. After the left made hay over others in possession of classified docs, this is most inconvenient to put it mildly! If this had been made public before the midterms as the other case was...... You have to remember Democrats are always right and nothing they do wrong is wrong. I just have to wonder if anyone else had keys to his locked building, after all the doc's had been missing for over 6 years I am not saying Hunter or his Chinese friends had a set of keys but shouldn't someone check their bank accounts just to be sure? 1 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe so, but it does not excuse the liability. I am not that interested in making comparisons because the two cases are very different. But I think a person like Joe Biden, with 50 years of service in government, would have a good grasp on the rules surrounding confidential documents. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He suggested the "over-classification" of some government documents could also result in less-sensitive materials being inadvertently mishandled or misplaced.

Trump and Biden did not do the same thing, as has been explained many times, even on Fox News.
