@phranny saidBut.....but....Biden claimed Trump was neglectful and should be punished.
Trump claimed he had the right to have the documents and keep them any way he wanted. He claimed they were his private property. Biden is claiming he was neglectful and did not mean to possess the material. Do you not see the difference????
His words.

@averagejoe1 saidBecause the Biden team didn’t lie about what documents were found and informed the records office as soon as they found them, wherever they were found.
But was not Trump careless, himself?....since he didn't have them securely located? Y'all could ramble all day about this, defending your Biden, your adminsitration, your scurrilous government, but you will not address the fact that the FBI has not raided Biden's home. Why do you not address this? Geez.
Trump and his legal team told a litany of lies about which documents trump held at mar a largo.
Biden has messed up with these documents there’s no doubt about that but let’s see the investigation find malicious intent on his behalf before you drag your gallows back to the capitol
@kevcvs57 said"Biden will have turned over his tax records like every other potus for decades except trump.'
Hahaha yeah sure.
Biden will have turned over his tax records like every other potus for decades except trump.
Don’t you have any Qanon theories for us.
I looked at bidens taxes...couldnt find the 10%
@averagejoe1 said"The grifter, Hunter, lived there. "
The grifter, Hunter, lived there. So, one day, he goes out and sifts through the files. Finds something that China would pay millions for. Rides on his daddy's plane to China, and then.........y'all finish the story.
Worrying indeed, Shav. There is a joke going around, Hunter was told to throw the files in the trash, and the gun in the garage, and got it backwards.
NO...hunter owned the home.
@phranny saidthe law states, Trump had the authority to declassify any document, biden did not have that authority
What matters is the law, not what Biden says off the cuff. Let the DOJ do its work.
Trump says he declassified all the documents that were "supposedly" found at his home.
Do you still wantr to follow the law?.
@mott-the-hoople saidUnder an Obama-era executive order, vice presidents have the authority to classify and declassify documents — just like presidents. Nonetheless, that fact was irrelevant to the DOJ's 2023 investigation into documents discovered at a former office and home of Biden. Merely declaring a document declassified, or thinking that it is, does not make it so; federal law governing government documents

requires presidents to follow certain steps to officially turn a classified file into a declassified one, which include physically modifying its markings. None of the documents found Mara Lago or Biden's office and residence had those modifications.

@mott-the-hoople saidWhile both the Biden and Trump cases appear to involve improperly retained classified information, the number of documents involved for each appears to differ substantially. Further, the Trump documents were found at a location that doubles as a pay-to-play club and event hosting space. Finally, the Biden documents were immediately returned to NARA, and did not require an FBI raid to be recovered.

@no1marauder saidOh, but the intent.., the intent ! all of our layman hear a writing about intent like crazy, well, let’s apply to this case shall we?
The 10% of a deal that never happened?
And real funny to me, everyone is saying Biden didn’t mean anything about holding the papers, blah blah blah. May I point out that Trump could say the same thing,.
You all are great examples of going with double standards. No FBI on Biden, but kick trump ass!!!
On marauder why does Biden seem to be getting a pass by simply saying no intent, or he didn’t know, or whatever the hell he is saying?
@mott-the-hoople saidNo, they don’t. . Emotion, prevails, irregardless of common sense, logic, and law.

@averagejoe1 saidIt's "intent" to hold the papers. Trump has clearly claimed the documents were his and did not need to be turned over to the Federal Archives. Trump intended to take and keep classified documents. Yes, Biden screwed up but there is no evidence of intent on Biden's part to take and/or keep classified documents. "Intent" is one of the differences between first, second and third degree murder. It is an important legal term.
