Whatever the case (whether he forgot or was negligent), he played ball when it came time to return and make sure he didn’t have any of that shit left hanging around his place.
Trump was actively obstructive like the moron he is. There is no equivalency
But when the other guy did worse with more documents AND didn’t cooperate, and HE didn’t get charged until after he was caught obstructing the investigation, well then the bar’s in hell.
And it’s based more on timing than anything. Like I said, the feds didn’t move to indict trump until after he obstructed an investigation, after he was subpoena’d, after months of non-cooperation with the national archives.
But all of this happened BEFORE Biden’s documents were discovered. So it sets a precedent.
It’s a really shitty precedent, sure. And it’s obvious that these are rules for thee and not for me (a normal federal employee who did as much as trump or even just biden might be in prison by now). But if Trump is gonna be allowed so much leniency for going so far, then Biden should be given at least as much leniency for doing way less.
Biden tried to keep personal, handwritten notebooks. Donald stole huge amounts of nuclear secrets, and refused to give them back when the document owners demanded it. You can’t honestly pretend they’re comparable.
That headline is misleading as fuck…

When the bar is at a reasonable height, sure.

But it sure helps support the reasonable doubt that a prosecutor is trying to prove beyond.
