Well, well. President Biden had some classified documents laying around the garage. Mike Pence too. What is happening with this World? Shouldn’t classified documents be stored in some bunker underground or burned in some secret furnace in Maryland?
Sorry, I still don’t see the big deal about all of this.
The Justice department acts like Nazi Stormtroopers. Going through Melania’s closet like she is in on this “conspiracy” to hijack national secrets. The press sends 30 reporters to Mar A Lago and it’s front page news. Trump is storing national secrets. To do what?
Biden has a smaller cache of documents in his garage for the Russians or Chinese to steal. Two guys from the Justice Department came and picked them up.
Come on now. Rules are rules, I get that and everyone has violated some form of national security protocol. However, if the Russians or the Chinese or the Turks or any of our long list of enemies thought any of these papers were valuable, they would have already been taken.
The whole thing is stupid.
Presidents and Vice Presidents have been taking documents, classified or otherwise for decades. They aren’t selling them to our enemies and they aren’t tossing them in the garbage so that your friendly garbageman can make a dossier. They take documents after they leave office because every President since Truman wants a historical record of their time in office. They want these documents close by, so if and when they want to tell their side of the story, they have the records close by.
You think Saint Obama didn’t abscond with classified material? Clinton? Bush? Of course they did. Maybe they got away with it by magically declassifying the documents, I don’t know but let’s be honest here. It is about the press and the Democrats trying to shove another thing up Donald Trumps rear end.
The press and the Democrats now sit with egg (yes eggs) on their faces because Joe Biden was found to have classified documents as well. Even though these are documents from his time as Vice President (which he is not allowed to declassify) they are still national security documents and he should be run through the ringer just like Donald Trump.
At the end of the day, nothing will happen regarding all of this. Procedures will be instituted to try and prevent this from happening again. Trump will be vilified, again, and Biden will skate. Such is life in a country where the media leans decisevly in one direction.
There is a thought out there that some Democrats put the wheels in motion with this mini-investigation to prevent Joe Biden from running in 2024. Get him under a real cloud of suspicion without truly implicating him in something more serious and they can politely move him out to pasture without crashing everything down on him. Maybe, but I am not really a conspiracy theorist. I think if party leadership seriously did not want him to announce this spring, they would have quiet backroom conversations and be done with it. It has been done like that for ages and will continue to work that way.
I also think that his son, Hunter, is shady. He makes SBF look like the pillar of honesty. That has been muffled for months and the DOJ has done a great job of protecting the President and the party from that nuclear time bomb. That little ditty might be used in negotiating President Biden away from running again as well.
We are a long way off before November 2024 but things need to start taking shape this spring as far as who will throw his/her hat in the ring for the primaries.
Minor infractions should persuade Joe Biden to call it quits. He is popular to some but that popularity has it’s limits and convincing him that things could become bloody and his son might be implicated in some serious stuff should send him off to build his library in retirement. Donald Trump should put his massive ego aside and step aside as well. Say it’s health or say it’s time for new leadership and disappear. Once both of these men drop out we should have a very very interesting Presidential campaign season.
What I do hope for is that moron from Texas, Beto O’Rourke, tries it again. I love seeing stupid politicians be made fools of.
Excellent, just plain ole common sense!
