On the Very Day Biden was Sworn in, the National Archives Started the Trump Documents Nonsense

[excalibur]

It seems that a conspiracy was afoot from at least January 20, 2021, from this filing.

Reminder: All Presidents since Reagan, who was the first former President covered by the PRA, have spent years negotiating the return of documents, including classified ones.

See the Obama situation in which 18 months after he left office his Foundation agreed to pay the Archive to retrieve and remove to proper storage documents from a warehouse in Chicago which included classified documents.

The attack on Trump began at least as early as January 20, 2021, the day Biden was sworn in.

so, as soon as trump was no longer president, the national archives was free to do the right thing and attempt to minimize the damage to national security>

Um, yeah, because that Day, Trump was no longer entitled to those records and he shouldn't have taken them. Duh.

But they waited how many years to get documents back from Biden that he was NEVER entitled to have? 6, 7 years I believe?

But we know, you don't think its a threat to national security to have top secret documents unsecured in a garage with a 67 Corvette that ANYONE had access to who went into that house. Just Trump, with documents at Mar a Lago that were kept under lock and key and under strict security at all times. Yea, THOSE are the documents we are worried about.

Here's the part not reported. Before Obama left office he funded NARA at record levels to handle his documents. While Obama had a huge team of archivists working for his team, NARA offered Trump zero archivists to work with his team. The guy in charge was a total Obamite and remained so through Trump's years. Yes, this was a set up.

Was Biden ever allowed to have classified documents at home? Why did Biden have them for decades and nara never went after them?

Normally, former presidents negotiate for years on documents, right?

If you’re going to make that argument, then you have to explain why this is only being applied to Trump.

Trump was President until that day.

The govt followed the law, so what's the beef, excalibur dupe.

Because they didn't know he had them until Biden reported them himself. On the other hand, people knew Trump stole his boxes of documents the day he did it.

Um, Trump kept his boxes in a bathroom, in a club that was open to the public. That's not very secure, yo. He was also showing them to people like Kid Rock, who I am pretty sure doesn't have a security clearance. (And his music sucks!)

Biden’s attorneys found the documents. Biden had already admitted to possessing classified documents to his ghost writer and even read from them when being interviewed for his book. Why didn’t he report them then? He just forgot, which admittedly is a pretty plausible for him.

And Biden was never president, why was it ok for him to have unsecured top secret documents in his garage?

Biden's attorney's found the documents.

By Lawyer-Client privilege, the lawyer was not under any obligation to report them to anyone but Biden. But Biden fessed up, said he had them, and appointed a partisan special prosecutor to investigate. Said prosecutor had to admit he had no case, and decided to slander Biden personally for no other reason than being a partisan sleaze.

Here's the reality. Biden didn't pack his own boxes when moving. Some GS-10 probably did that, and packed the documents in the wrong box.

that's it.

I suspect what kicked it off was the Australian shooting his month off about having a conversation with Trump about nuclear submarines. There wasn't a word about classified documents until shortly afterwards. It was as if the government until that point wasn't concerned while the National Archives was asleep at the wheel.

Biden knew he had the documents prior to his attorney’s finding the documents and likely advising him to come forward. In other words, he only came forward when he had been caught. Spin some more.

Did he? YOu would think if he knew he had them, he'd have done a better job of hiding them.

So you have a guy who had a few documents filed by accident, that no one knew was missing, and did all the due diligence things that you should do when finding one.

Compared to- a guy who stole documents, lied to the FBI about returning them, fought the National Archives every step of the way until they had to send in the FBI to retrieve them because he was showing them to his donors.

Only like now; when the system isn't working because it's in lockstep with a partisan political agenda.

Yea, meaning ANYONE for 6 or 7 years could read through them. Biden knew he had them, documents don't walk into the garage on their own.

He disclosed them because his attorney told him you're going to prison if you're caught with them.

The fact is, Biden did JUST what Trump did, when Biden NEVER had the right to keep them. Trump DID. But since you love Biden and hate Trump, you make ENDLESS EXCUSES to Biden's breaking the law and want to hang Trump for doing much less as he WAS president and COULD declassify anything and everything at a moments notice. Biden NEVER could.

No, but that doesn't mean he knew he had them.

When I moved in 2021, you can't believe all the stuff that turned up I had no idea that I had.
