That is true of Pence. Unlikely true of Biden. Where have you seen that report? Remember, it has been reported that Biden had classified documents from Senate days--which he was not allowed to have outside thre SCIF. We still have not had an explanation of that. He had documents in several places that were moved around and not secure--especially, those at his home. As Vice president, he did not have the right to them and they were not under Secret Service security --unlike those Trump had. How many documents walked off with Hunter when he was staying in the house? We will likely never know. |
We will know because there is a Republican special counsel investigating it. You probably won’t believe what they find, but we will now. |
No, I’m demonstrating why the Trump case is different than the Biden case. Geez people. |
The VP doesn’t have the right to classified documents? Give me break. |
You obviously never worked for a Member of the House or Senate. The handful of documents supposedly from Biden’s Senate days sound like briefing or background documents from an overseas delegation trip that the military liaison on the trip should have collected after meetings and events. They reportedly were mixed in with handwritten notes and non classified documents so my guess is that a classified briefing document wasn’t put back in its folder, got mixed with other papers, and was overlooked with nobody realizing it. These weren’t top secret war strategy documents. They were briefing or background documents that referenced information from classified sources, not the source documents themselves. |
John Bolton gave a great refutation of the stupid idea that Trump taking a document home with him amounted to a de facto declassification. He said the President can’t just declassify a piece of paper, he has to declassify the information that is in the document, which exists in other copies and other documents and other forms and other sources, and there are established processes required to signify the declassification action all through the system. Obviously Trump did not do any of that. He just smuggled out the documents. |
None of what Biden or Pence is relevant. They both invited the FBI in to find the documents. Trump obstructed the investigation, that’s what matters. |
He kept it for years. That’s willfully retaining it. In addition, he out and out stole it as he had no legal right as a Senator to have those documents. |
Biden accidentally took classified documents from a SCIF as senator? |
How do you know that Biden and Pence didn’t know they had them in their possession? Their word? |
Absolutely incorrect |
No. You don’t know what you are talking about. |
I do. There were documents dating back to his Senate days |
Wrong. |
