There is a distinction between Biden's desk with "it's not marked classified" (believable) to Trump literally stealing and selling hundreds of boxes of TOP SECRET documents that must have you enraged, lfthdthrds?

You're looking for the wrong flex... I mainly posted it because we had a president who couldn't be held accountable for his mishandling of classified documents because of his failing mind - recognizable back as far as 2016.

What did Trump do with his known 340 classified document theft?

What did Biden do with his, what, one?

Yeah, totally comparable.

"couldn't be held accountable"

He technically could have been held accountable, but the President gets an extremely wide berth for actions taken in furtherance of the Office of the President, like bringing some files home for work.

I mean seriously, what are you suggesting is an appropriate penalty here?

But hasn't the Supreme Court since legislated this from the bench? I thought a President couldn't be held accountable for this now. At least that's what Trump's lawyers argued.

Impeach Biden! - Leftoverturds

Your Pedo Protecting Hero is currently breaking the Law by not releasing the Epstein Files... not to mention destroying America and creating another Forever War.

And all you have is, 'But, but... Biden!".

It's pathetic, really.

So are the tapes off limits because of what a -------- Trump is?

There is no reason to talk impeachment because it's stupid.

Great.

Prosecute him.

I guess Biden didn't have a corrupt judge like Cannon ignoring the law to protect him.

Hey Pedo, can we release the Epstein Files and Jack Smith Report now?

#9 And Biden was president when your other -------- finally made its shy appearance.

So, I guess you can blame that on Biden, too.

Right, Left Hind Turds ? ? ? ?

Biden kept volumes of notes at his home that included classified information

Is it wrong for presidents to keep classified documents at their home?

That a president may have classified documents among the stuff he collects and removes after his tenure doesn't bother me. What bothers me is how that president reacts when it's found out.

One tried to hide it. One has been criminally charged.

Take that for what it's worth.

Biden had never been President when he removed the classified material. So, what bothers you now?

Was he vice president? Member of Congress?

Were they documents he had been given or documents he stole?

Did he return them when asked?

Did several Russians meet with him in private while he had those files?

Is it wrong for people who were/ are presidents, Vice presidents or members of Congress to keep classified documents at their home?

To answer your question specifically. Yes. It is wrong.

Classified information is strictly meant to be reviewed within secure skiffs, designated rooms in the Capitol or congressional offices"never in a personal residence. Removing and storing classified papers at a home address violates the rules governing the handling of national security information.

He was accountable because he GAVE THEM BACK.

He didn't lie to the FBI about having them, refuse to give them back, get other people to lie for him, then try to destroy evidence of him still having them LIKE SOMEONE ELSE DID.
