“What’s the difference in what President Trump did versus what we now know President Biden did?”
‘Around 10 documents vs. well over 100, turned over voluntarily as soon as they were discovered vs. refused to turn over despite a subpoena, blah blah blah, gosh, what’s the difference?’
Biden had no more than 10 documents in a locked closet in an office in a think tank. As soon as the documents were located, Biden’s lawyers informed NARA, which quickly took possession of them, and Attorney General Merrick Garland quickly tapped one of the remaining Trump-appointed U.S. attorneys to investigate.. At no point did he drag his feet on an official request to return the documents. By contrast, Trump had well over 100 documents, and it took a warrant and search to recover a large majority of them. Biden has made no complaint about being under investigation. Trump has spent months loudly whining about being persecuted.
The difference is that Biden’s lawyers cooperated & reached out to the National Archives upon discovering the classified documents, unlike Trump & his circle obstructing the investigation into the classified docs at Mar-A-Lago.
Regardless, the right will distort this & use it. However, they will only succeed in highlighting how egregious the misconduct at Mar-a-Lago was, and how Trump would not be in the trouble he’s in had he not obstructed and lied.
