Joe Heller for January 10, 2023

After 6 years one of the people who remembered Biden’s birth date called National Archives, unlike the spies for Russia, China and Iran.

“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.

But!

Actually, were Biden’s documents “Top Secret”? There is a long list of different classifications, and I haven’t seen where any officials have divulged what markings Biden’s documents had…

Another simple minded toon. The two instances do not compare. Not a fan of yours.

This is so not like what Trump did. Even comparing it as to how they differ normalizes Trump’s theft. Please stop.

Some of you are misunderstanding this. The text that is crossed out is what Drumpf did, which is the opposite of what Biden did…the text that is not crossed out.

It’s a comparison. Using Trump’s response, how much has to be marked out to fit the bill.

How about six years

RWNJ tv/talk radio/podcasters/interweb “influencers” will have the actual details of this story spun into “fake news”, DOJ coverup, and FBI-concealment/collusion-so-defund-the-FBI in no time.

RWNJ political ‘toons will add this to Obama birth certificate/Benghazi/Clinton real estate murders/Benghazi/pizza basement pedophile ring/Hunter Biden laptop/laptop/laptop/~ by tonight (for the ones not already making up $h!t in today’s content).

There are huge distinctions to be made, like one being administrative while the other was criminal.
