[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are talking about wildly different scenarios.  There are clear signs of intent where it comes to Trump's files.  In Trump's case, there were at least 15 entire bankers boxes crammed full of hundreds upon hundreds of files, thousands and thousands of pages, with a huge number of them being top secret, SCI and even Special Access Program and national security documents like nuclear weapons documents and identities and assignments of clandestine agents, which he had no business even having or keeping in the first place, and only a literal handful of people in the entire government ever even have access to SAP.  Trump appears to have gone out of his way to get these and hoard them over the span of his Presidency.  And then he and his attorneys repeatedly lied about having them, refused to comply, refused to return them, obstructed, fought in courts to try and retain them.  There is a HUGE element of intent and knowing.

The Biden files on the other hand appear to be a tiny number of documents, total page count that you could easily tally on your fingers.  And, none of them appear to have been anything even remotely at a level of SAP or national security or operational intelligence on our clandestine agents abroad as was the case with Trump.  They have every appearance of being papers that were packed by staffers at the end of his VP term and a handful missed the scrutiny of staffers as they unloaded drawers and file cabinets.  There is no sign of any deeper intent.  And, it was Biden's own people who later caught it, and unlike Trump, Biden's folks are in full compliance and are immediately returning everything rather than lying, obstructing and fighting it.

Trying to equate the two is a complete non-starter.[/quote]

How many classified documents can you store in your garage before it's a problem? [/quote]

You aren't one to say.  You were perfectly fine with Trump storing hundreds of the nations highest secrets in an unlocked, unmonitored hallway closet at Mar-A-Lago while known Chinese and Russian spies had access.[/quote]

On the contrary, support for Trump plummeted after that scandal. Should I take this to mean that the raid was entirely political, because Democrats are fine with elected officials lining their garage with our nation's secrets?

Either both men are out of line, or neither.  I believs the former. [/quote]

Thank goodness there weren’t secrets lining garage. So we can relax.[/quote]

They were in his garage. His VP library at UPenn.  His personal library in his house. And some other 4th location. And the search continues.

You are dodging the fact that Biden appears to have classified documents in places they are not supposed to be.  And that they appear to have been there for years and years, and that we have no idea what kind of secrets they contain or who had access to them.  He wont go to jail for this-- no political official does-- but it's not good.  [/quote]

Except that documents in UPenn was not there for years. Those documents were removed from UPenn and returned back. At least twice. [/quote]

That sounds even worse.

Who was keeping those documents secure all the time?[/quote]
