I understand but weren’t these supposedly documents from his vice presidency years? That would mean for 4 years he had them as not president. Why would it be a trap? I am sure some may make a fuss over this but it really isn’t that big of a deal. The trump thing wasn’t that big of a deal either, regardless of the weeks long attacks in the media and the fbi raid.

there's only one way to prevent this, declassify everything, ever. and never classify anything again.

It was a problem when Trump did it, and it's a problem when Biden does it. Both need to be investigated, and if the investigation bears it out, there should be consequences for both.

But the two scenarios do not compare equally.

So according to CNN, the documents dealt with Joe Biden's intrigues into Ukraine during the 2014 Euromaidan timespan while he was micromanaging the coup and profiteering off it.
That certainly adds another dimension to it

The whole "top secret documents" thing is a bunch of baloney that shouldn't matter without a reason for the documents to be relevant. A signed love letter from Kim Jong Un is just memorabilia. But it sure sounds like Biden was hoarding documents related to his own scandals, corruption and foreign intrigue.

Because signed love letters from li'l Kim are regularly classified TS/SCI. What a fucking hack.

"Hah! See! Your guy did a little of a bad thing. Our guy did a ton of it, but they are literally the same, because what's wrong is wrong, and actually you're hypocrites for not caring the same."

I don't think really believes what he's writing, imho and respectuously: it is more like an exercise of a writing, a propaganda essay.

Did you miss the past 6 months of democrats rubbing one out every time Trump's "top secret" signed napkin from Kim Jong Un was brought up?

Former presidents keeping memorabilia and random documents shouldn't bother anyone, and the DoJ shouldn't even be trying to litigate over it given the nebulous and undefined reach of executive powers, and its a disgrace when one president's administration raids the home of a former president. If Biden's documents were equally nothingburgers then we should have equally no reason to care. But CNN is already reporting its documents concerning his Ukraine policy from during Euromaidan, which is right when he was getting his cut of the kickbacks profiteering off the coup d'etat that led to the war we're ostensibly not fighting right now and threatens us with nuclear escalation. So yeah, seems like something worth investigating, for the same reason Biden's Ukraine handling in general is worth investigating.

If we found out Woodrow Wilson handed the pistol to Gavrilo Princip in exchange for a bribe from the Serbian anarchists I'd say that would be quite the scandal. Biden micromanaged the Ukrainian coup as VP, put his own crackhead son on the board of Burisma to siphon away state resources and take his own cut of it, then threw a hissy fit over his political opponent digging into it and tried to have Trump impeached on the 'whistleblower' who turned out to be a Ukrainian partisan advocating for war with Russia. And now we've got that war with Russia and we're far closer to nukes actually being used than any point in the cold war, but at least it would probably be Kiev not New York so we've it will just be more Ukrainians dying on our behalf if that happens

I literally do not give, and haven't given a single fuck about his signed cocktail napkin. But that isn't what the DoJ is investigating.
