As the drip, drip, drip of President Joe Biden’s classified documents scandal leaks out, legal experts have been quick to point out that Biden’s situation is less serious, legally speaking, than former President Donald Trump’s. It’s true that under the facts as we know them right now, Biden’s possession of classified documents, while careless, doesn’t rise to the threshold required to violate the law.

But while Biden’s actions may not be a crime, they still present significant national security concerns. More importantly, the new discoveries have given House GOP more fodder for yet another congressional oversight investigation, which will shine a bigger spotlight on Biden’s actions than on Trump’s.  Biden may not have a legal problem, but he does have a perception problem.

It’s worth reiterating at the outset the legal distinctions between Biden’s and Trump’s possession of classified documents. The difference is one of intent. Even if we assume that both presidents ended up with classified documents at their homes inadvertently, Biden immediately notified and cooperated with the Justice Department after discovering them while Trump stalled, evaded and made misrepresentations in his dealings with law enforcement. Biden even consented to a search of his home by the FBI. By contrast, the FBI was arguably left with no choice but to obtain a search warrant for Mar-a-Lago after learning that classified documents remained on the premises despite Trumps lawyers warranting to the FBI that they had been returned.

THE PRINCIPAL DIFFERENCE WAS NOTED IN THE NEWS EXTRACT.  ONE WERE THE ACTIONS OF AN HONORABLE MAN WHILE THE OTHERS WERE THE ACTIONS OF A THIEF, A PROVEN LIAR AND A PROVEN CONFIDENCE MAN.

Even though legally speaking Biden may not be on the hook for a crime, the hearings offer the potential for the GOP to demonstrate — in public and over a long period of time — that Biden was sloppy in his handling of classified information.

***

Here is the kicker: Although the Justice Department is looking into even more serious national security issues with Trump, that investigation is taking place behind the scenes. This means that while Biden’s shortfalls with respect to his handling of classified information will continue to be in the public eye, the much more serious nature of Trump’s actions will remain in obscurity unless and until the special counsel decides to charge him with a crime. Ironically, Trump is “protected” by the secrecy of a criminal investigation in a way Biden is not.

While the committee’s focus on Biden, but not Trump, certainly smacks of partisanship, it isn’t unreasonable on its face for the committee to investigate the circumstances surrounding the classified documents in Biden’s possession. And this is the problem for Biden.

Outstanding. However, Y, the idiots here don't care about facts.
