"Biden's documents are different from Trump's documents"

[Billiejeens]

The number of documents, cooperation, disclosure, handling misplaced classified material .. blah blah blah ... Does not negate that Biden did the very thing he criticized Trump of (being irresponsible) or how the outcome should be handled.

Plus we know that biden is compromised.

Then go ahead and criticize Biden as being irresponsible. Who is stopping you?

I don't need to do that .. Biden already provided his perspective on handling classified material .. and now it's not just once .. but twice. Biden thinks it's irresponsible .. doubly.

Biden is an empty suit .. and now his keepers are scrambling to explain the difference.

Which law did Trump break?

No one has that amount of time left in life

 

[Dante Reawakened]

You can't blame them...they put a lot of effort into building this narrative only to have it explode in their faces.

They're just attempting to salvage months of work trying to make the case that having classified documents somehow made Trump ineligible to run for President.

Sorry leftists and media...Obama was right... you can never underestimate Joe Biden's ability to fuck things up.

Better luck next time.

Trump is under investigations by state and federal bodies.

Joe Biden is not

So what? I mean, if that's the shallow level where you want to live, knock yourself out.

When did Biden hide the documents from the National Archives and lie about possessing them?

It was the Biden administration that made this a big deal .. and now they must eat crow and explain how Biden is different. No calories burned from me except laughing at individuals like you who downplay the same scenario with different actors. Cheers!

I know you dont believe it, but its true. He can declassify at will. Every president can. These are legal sources below, not political.


The U.S. classification system has three levels: top secret, secret and confidential.
“That is based on the level of damage that its release would cause to the national security of the United States,” Kel McClanahan, executive director of the National Security Counselors, said. “When you classify a document, that means that only people with a security clearance equal to the classification or higher can read it.”
A sitting U.S. president has wide-ranging authority to classify and declassify certain documents, but former presidents do not have authority over classification and declassification.
Current presidents can classify documents as long as they can “make a plausible argument that it is related to national security.” On the other hand, the president “doesn’t have to give any reason for declassifying” information, according to McClanahan.
“He can just say, ‘I decide that this should be declassified,’ and it’s declassified,” McClanahan said

Yes, the president can declassify documents, but there isn’t a set protocol they have to follow

Former President Trump claimed documents found at Mar-a-Lago were “all declassified.” We explain why sitting presidents can declassify documents and how it works.

ABA Fact Check: Extent of Presidential Legal Authority to Declassify Materials Is Still Unclear

Most national security legal experts dismissed the former president’s suggestion that while in office he could declassify documents simply by thinking about it. But in theory, legal guidelines support his contention that a president has broad authority to formally declassify most documents that...

Don’t Dismiss Trump’s Assertion of Presidential Power to Declassify Information

The country is focused on the Jan. 6 committee’s criminal referral of former President Trump to the Department of Justice (DOJ) for four alleged crimes, including inciting and abetting an insurrection. But Trump’s decision to stash classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago residence continues to be...

Irrelevant .. Did Biden have classified information stored in the "irresponsible" manner he described? Not once .. but twice in two different locations?

He can just say, ‘I decide that this should be declassified,’ and it’s declassified,” McClanahan said

Say it to a mirror? A dog? No, he says it to a person, who then has to go through the process of declassifying the document.

 

[jotathought]

False.

It was Trump that made it a big deal.

Yes .. Trump, who had the authority to declassify documentation, created the spotlight. Got it .. and Biden's scenario, which nearly mirrors Trump .. is different. Got it.

 

[jotathought]

Good ol' Garland .. the failed Supreme Court Candidate .. has a tough decision to demonstrate how biased he is ..

C'mon want-to-be-Justice-Garland!

You can't reason with the Cult.
Metaphorically bitch slap them and stay sane.

Trump, who had the authority to declassify documentation, created the spotlight.

Correct. First, he didn't declassify anything. Then, he refused to cooperate for over a year. Then, he lied to the DOJ. Then, he defied a subpoena. Then, he lied to the courts.

Yep. Trump made this a big deal by being his usual criminal weasel self.

Go read the crimes listed in the search warrant.

 

[Marener]

Man, you must be really pissed at Biden then. Spare me your fake righteousness.

Biden turned his over. Trump refused.

If Trump had just turned them over when NARA told him, it wouldn’t have been a big deal. He should have done what Biden is doing. We never would be having this conversation.

Like so many Trump scandals, this is just so colossally stupid. Trump really needs to be protected from himself.

Id he committed perjury .. he should face consequences. Why hasn't that happened? How does the investigation know when and how he may have declassified the documents?

Go ahead and fight that uphill battle .. the same uphill battle Biden faces now .. Cheers!
