Comment on Today Jim Jordan proves how Biden Had $8 Million Reason To Keep Classified Docs At Hur Hearing

More stupid hypocrisy. If this president is wrong for keeping classified documents when he shouldn’t have, and make no mistake he is wrong, then so is any other president.
If this president is bad for not remembering or knowing why or how classified documents ended up in his garage - and make no mistake he is bad- then the other president is worse for knowingly and willfully retaining documents, for making false statements and representations, conspiring to obstruct justice, withholding a document or record, and concealing a document in a federal investigation.
But if you are incapable of dealing with facts, please don’t read my post. It will upset you.

How about some facts. The PRESIDENT can declassify anything he wants. biden was the VP when he took those documents and had no legal ability to declassify them

Great, here’s another fact: according to the American bar association, the president doesn’t get to declassify anything he wants just by thinking about it.

Another fact: if it was perfectly ok to keep those documents after leaving office, then there would have been no reason to lie about it.
I’m not engaging in whataboutism here, I’m saying yes, this is bad, and so is that. It’s wrong for anybody to say the president or vice president should get a free pass to do whatever because he’s our guy on our side.

We have agreement. Nice to read logical comments especially those that call for equal justice. But in the end we don’t. Trump was charged and biden was not. You live in a Clown World country as soon as equal justice ends

I’m sorry to tell you that there has never been equal justice in the US of A. If you were unaware of that, congratulations! You have been living a life of privilege.
